Answer:

y = 2/3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, that means their slopes are the same.

Rewrite 2x - 3y = 15 to y = 2/3x - 5

The slope is 2/3, so the answer should have a slope of 2/3 as well.

The equation is now y = 2/3x + b

To find b, substitute (-3,4)

y = 2/3x + b

4 = 2/3(-3) + b

4 = -2 + b

6 = b

So the equation is y = 2/3x + 6

Find the range of the dataset<br> 8,11,5,22,9,18,5,20

lakkis [162]

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation: The range of a data set is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers

In this data set, the largest number is 22 and the smallest number is 5 so the range of the data set will simply be 22 - 5 or 17.

So the range of this data set is 17.

X is normally distributed with mean 250 and standard deviation 40. what value of x does only the top 15% exceed?

lubasha [3.4K]

The top 15% (85th percentile) is the cutoff value $x$ such that

$\mathbb P(X\le x)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-250}{40}\le\dfrac{x-250}{40}\right)=\mathbb P(Z\le z)=0.85$

where $z$ is the corresponding cutoff for the standardized normal distribution. We have $z\approx1.0364$ , and so

$\dfrac{x-250}{40}=z\implies x\approx291.456$
