No, they are not equivalent.
5(2x - y) = 10x - 5y and it is not equal to 15x - 5y.
(using distribution property)
Answer:
About 1.23 standard deviation above the mean
Step-by-step explanation:
From what we have here, we need to calculate the difference between the given value and the mean and divide by the standard deviation
That would be through calculating the z score as follows;
z-score = (x - mean)/SD
where x is the given value
z-score = (87-71)/13 = 1.23
Since the score is bigger than the mean, the correct choice here is that the score is about 1.23 standard deviation above the mean
Recall that the derivative of a constant is 0.
