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.

39. State the equation for the line described below.
devlian [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

39). y = -\frac{7}{8} x + 3

40). m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

y - y_{1} = m( x - x_{1} )

(- 7, 5)

( - 12, 4)

m = ( 4 - 5 ) / ( - 12 + 7) = 1/5

y - 5 = (1/5)(x + 7) ⇒ y = \frac{1}{5} x + 6.4
