Answer:

a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or

between 191.1 and 315.7?

68%

b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 128.8 and 378.0?

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical rule formula states that:

1) 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ .

2) 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or

between 191.1 and 315.7?

μ = mean = 253.4

σ = standard deviation = 62.3.

μ - σ

= 253.4 - 62.3

= 191.1

μ + σ

= 253.4 + 62.3

= 315.7

Therefore, the first empirical rule holds for Question a. This states that 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ .

Therefore, the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 191.1 and 315.7 is 68%

b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 128.8 and 378.0?

μ = mean = 253.4

σ = standard deviation = 62.3.

Applying the second rule of the empirical rule: this states that: 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

For x = 128.8

μ - 2σ

= 253.4 - 2 × 62.3

= 128.8

μ + 2σ

= 253.4 + 2 × 62.3

= 378

Therefore, the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 128.8 and 378.0 is 95%

Mary is spending money at the average rate of $5 per day. After 14 days she has $68 left. The amount left depends on the number
Radda [10]

Answer:

A. Y-68=-5(x-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary is spending money at the average rate of $5 per day. After 14 days she has $68 left. The amount left depends on the number of days that have passed. write an equation for the situation

We find the equation using the point slope equation of a line. This is given as:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

The slope intercept form will be

y = -5x + b

since the amount decreases by $5 per day...

Our slope is -5 so m=-5

We have a point (x1,y1) = (14, 68)

Hence, we have:

y-68 = -5(x-14)

Option A is correct

Andrews [41]

Answer:

There is a 1/6 chance of rolling a certain number and 1/2 chance of getting a heads.

1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12 so C.

1 is the chance of getting the wanted number / 6 is all the numbers in total

When there are multiple chances you just multiply the fractions
