I think it's 5.67 or 5.7 rounded to the nearest tenth.

To solve this, follow the order of operations, PEMDAS (Parentheses-Exponents-Multiplication-Division-Addition-Subtraction)

So to start off add 4.7 and -7.4 together

-2.1(-2.7)

Then multiply -2.1 by -2.7. Since these are both negative, your answer will be positive.

5.67 is your answer.

Hope this helps!

Empirical rule (statistics)Help please!!!

emmasim [6.3K]

The empirical rule you're referring to is the 68-95-99.7 rule, which asserts that for a normal (bell-shaped) distribution, approximately 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Let $X$ be the random variable denoting vehicle speeds along this highway. We want to find $P(61$ . To use the rule, we need to rephrase this probability in terms of the mean and standard deviation.

Notice that $61=70-9=70-3\cdot3$ , and $79=70+9=70+3\cdot3$ . In other words, 61 and 79 both lie exactly 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so $P(61$ .
