Answer:

About 95% of data lies between 15.6 and 32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 2.4

Standard Deviation, σ = 4.2

We are given that the distribution of SAT score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Empirical Formula:

  • Almost all the data lies within three standard deviation from the mean for a normally distributed data.
  • About 68% of data lies within one standard deviation from the mean.
  • About 95% of data lies within two standard deviations of the mean.
  • About 99.7% of data lies within three standard deviation of the mean.

We have to find the percentage of data lying between 15.6 and 32.4

15.6 = 24 - 2(4.2) = \mu - 2\sigma\\32.4 = 24 + 2(4.2) = \mu + 2\sigma

Thus, we have to find the percentage of data lying within two standard deviations of the mean. By Empirical formula about 95% of data lies between 15.6 and 32.4

Preyton took longer so he was slower. Now, we calculate the average speeds of both:
Preyton: 150 / 3 = 50 mph
Bryson: 150 / 2.5. = 60 mph

Therefore, Bryson travelled 10 mph faster than Preyton

What is the solution to the system of equations below? y = -2x - 6 and 2y = -4x - 12
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: Infinitely Many Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute y into the second equation:

2(-2x-6)=-4x-12

Then you get -4x-12=-4x=-12. Since this is 0=0 it would make it infinitely many solutions.
