Answer:

Standard deviation 46.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A 28% of the distribution is equivalent to a z score of -0.5828, you can use a z table to find that.

Z score is calculated as follows:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

x is the number being evaluated

μ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

And it is used to calculate how many standard deviations you are from the mean of the sample.

Replacing with the known information you can calculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\frac{x-\mu}{z} =\frac{76-103}{-0.5828}= 46.3

Factor by grouping : xy + 6y - 2x - 12 (if you don't know the answer don't comment)
alexira [117]
<h3> Hey There today we will solve your problem</h3>

First we will factor out y from xy+6y which gives us y(x+6)

Next we will factor out -2 from -2x-12 which gives us -2(x+6)

This gives us the equation

y(x+6)-2(x+6)

then factor out the common term  x+6<em> and we get</em>

<em />\left(x+6\right)\left(y-2\right)
