Answer:
d=6
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 5 from both sides
then simplify what you get
then divide both sides by 4
then simplify to get answer
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
2 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6 = 2 × 3, so if a number is divisible by 6, it is also divisible by 2 and 3.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance
so if the variance is 256, then the standard deviation is : sqrt 256 = 16 <==
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
A) 68.33%
B) (234, 298)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the mean is 266 days (m) and the standard deviation is 16 days (sd), so we are asked:
A. P (250 x < 282)
P ((x1 - m) / sd < x < (x2 - m) / sd)
P ((250 - 266) / 16 < x < (282 - 266) / 16)
P (- 1 < z < 1)
P (z < 1) - P (-1 < z)
If we look in the normal distribution table we have to:
P (-1 < z) = 0.1587
P (z < 1) = 0.8413
replacing
 0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6833
The percentage of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days is 68.33%
B. We apply the experimental formula of 68-95-99.7
For middle 95% it is:
(m - 2 * sd, m + 2 * sd)
Thus,
m - 2 * sd <x <m + 2 * sd
we replace
266 - 2 * 16 <x <266 + 2 * 16
234 <x <298
That is, the interval would be (234, 298)
 
        
             
        
        
        
Find the slope of the line first:
5x - 2y = -6,
y = (5/2)x + 3;
Since we need a line that's perpendicular, m = - (2/5).
The only equation that has the slope of this m is 2x + 5y = -10;
