Step by Step:
Let,
,
,
, 
We know that, the general equation of the parabola.


Substitute the value of
in equation
and find the value of 







Hence, the equation of the parabola is:

Answer:
c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean 7, standard deviation 1.7.
For about 95% of students, nightly amount of sleep is between
7 - 2*1.7 = 7 - 3.4 = 3.6 hours
7 + 2*1.7 = 7 + 3.4 = 10.4 hours
So the correct answer is:
c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs
−3b+2.5=4
Subtract 2.5 from both sides.
−3b+2.5−2.5=4−2.5
−3b=1.5
Divide both sides by -3.
−3b/−3 = 1.5/−3
b=−0.5
