Answer:

The standard deviation is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Electricity consumption by the residents in a local community is normally distributed, with a mean of 32 kilowatt-hours per day.

We have that, 95% of the residents use between 28 and 36 kilowatt-hours per day.

According to the empirical rule , 95% of the distribution falls within two standard deviations of the mean.

We can use the upper x=36, and the mean,

\mu = 32

to find the standard deviation using the formula:

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

We substitute to get:

\frac{36-  32}{ \sigma}  = 2

\frac{4}{ \sigma}  = 2 \\ \frac{4}{ 2}  = \sigma \\ \sigma = 2

Therefore the standard deviation is 2.

First, we can see that there are four sides, and none of these equation contradict each other, so it is safe to say that <em>this is a quadrilateral</em>.

Second, all of the equations have the slope of <em>0 or undefined</em>, so it is a rectangle.

Lastly, the four points of intersection shows us that the side lengths are <em>3 and 5</em> units, so the area of it is 15 units².

Resolver 3 -2x=12 -6x
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

x = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.  Start by adding 6x to both sides, which results in 3 + 4x = 12.

Combine the constants, obtaining 4x = 9.

Dividing both sides by 4, we get x = 9/4.
