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