Answer:

D. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of days that homes stay on the market before they sell in Houston is bell-shaped with a mean equal to 56 days. Further, 95 percent of all homes are on the market between 40 and 72 days.

As per empirical rule 95% of the data on bell curve lies between 2 standard deviations of mean.

So we can set an equation as:

72-56=2\sigma or

40-56=-2\sigma

16=2\sigma

\frac{16}{2}=\frac{2\sigma}{2}

8=\sigma

40-56=-2\sigma

-16=-2\sigma

\frac{-16}{-2}=\frac{-2\sigma}{-2}

8=\sigma

Therefore, the standard deviation for our given data is 8 and option D is the correct choice.

In 2 seconds, an elevator travels 40 feet. In 3 seconds, the elevator travels 60 feet. In 4 seconds, the elevator travels 80 fee
professor190 [17]
Y=20x because if it travels 40 in 2 seconds that means in 1 second it traveled 20 so every second the elevator travels 20 so y is the total distance and X is the amount of seconds
