Answer:

(a) 68%

(b) 0.3%

(c) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Data</u>

  • mean = 100
  • standard deviation (sd) = 17

(a) mean - sd = 100 - 17 = 83

mean + sd = 100 + 17 = 117

The 68–95–99.7 rule states that 68% of the values are within mean ± 1 sd

(b) mean - 3*sd = 100 - 3*17 = 49

mean + 3*sd = 100 + 3*17 = 151

The 68–95–99.7 rule states that 100% - 99.7% = 0.3% of the values are beyond mean ± 3 sd

(c) mean + 2*sd = 100 + 2*17 = 134

The 68–95–99.7 rule states that 95% of the values are within mean ± 2 sd , this means that 5/2 = 2.5% of the values are below mean - 2 sd, and 2.5% are above mean + 2 sd

Can anyone help me please??? It’s not online. And please keep scrolling if u don’t know ...
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slopes and equations:

find the  equation thur ( 6,1 )  and (-2,-3)

find the slope m

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1 )

m = (-3 - 1) / (-2 -6)

m = -4 / -8

m = 1/2

now use the point-slope formula with our known slope

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-1 = 1/2(x-6)

y - 1 = 1/2x -3

y = 1/2x -3 +1

y = \frac{1}{2}x -2

Find the equation parallel to y = 3x + 6 and thur (0,1)

Parallel means the same slope, the slope is 3 for the equation above.

use the slope-intercept formula again with the point given and the slope 3

y-1 = 3(x -0)

y - 1 = 3x

y = 3x +1

Find the equations perpendicular to 2x + y = 8 and the same y intercept as  4y = x + 3.

put both equations into proper form

y = -2x +6

y = \frac{1}{4}x + \frac{3}{4}

perpendicular means  reciprocal slope and change the sign, the 2nd equation has an intercept of  \frac{3}{4} , so

y = 1/2x + \frac{3}{4}

there you go Amanda  :)

What is the answer to 12=2y
sesenic [268]

If 12 = 2y, then y = 6. To solve this kind of equation, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other, and it will remain equivalent. If you divide both sides by 2, you get 6 = y. Also, 2 * 6 = 12, a much easier way to find the answer.
