Identify the ordered pair on the graph of the equation 2x + 5y = 4.

Colt1911 [192]

What you would do is you would substitute each ordered pair into their respective variables. (ie. for (0,1) you would put 0 where the x is and 1 where the y is) You would then solve the equation. If the equation is not even (ie. 2=5 would not be even but 4=4 would be), you move on to the next ordered pair.

If you follow the process right and you get the equations correct, the answer should be B. (7,-2)

Weights of the vegetables in a field are normally distributed. From a sample Carl Cornfield determines the mean weight of a box

pantera1 [17]

To find the z-score for a weight of 196 oz., use

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{196-180}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2$

A table for the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution (see picture) gives the area 0.9772 BELOW the z-score z = 2. Carl is wondering about the percentage of boxes with weights ABOVE z = 2. The total area under the normal curve is 1, so subtract .9772 from 1.0000.

1.0000 - .9772 = 0.0228, so about 2.3% of the boxes will weigh more than 196 oz.
