Answer:

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have no information about the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question.

Chebyshev Theorem

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

Applying the Theorem

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

Solve the equation for y. Identify the slope and y- intercept. Then graph the equation. 2y-3x=10
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

y=3/2x+5

The slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for y will give us the slope and y-intercept

Isolate y

2y/2=10+3x/2

y=5+3/2x

The slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is 5

Graph it by graphing (0,5) and using the slope (up 3 over 2) to put other points

8 divide by 1 1/4 KCF
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

K=Keep the first Fraction (You can rewrite 8 as 8/1 for when you multiply across.)

C=Change the Division Sign to a Multiplication Sign

F=Flip the Second Fraction

First, rewrite 1 1/4 as 5/4 (A mixed number can be changed to a fraction by multiplying the outside whole number by the denominator or bottom number of the fraction, then add the new rewritten whole number and the original fractional piece. In this case you would multiply the outside 1 by the bottom 4 and add it to the original 1/4. 4/4+1/4=5/4)

Second, Flip 5/4 to 4/5 and change your equation so it now reads: 8/1 x 4/5

Third, use simple fraction multiplication and multiply across to get 8/1 x 4/5=32/5

Examine the system of equations.
stiks02 [169]

By substitution,

1.5x - 6 = -4.5x + 21

6x = 27

x = 4.5

Hence, y = 1.5(4.5) - 6 = 0.75
