Answer:

P(x

We can calculate the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}= \frac{14.6-13.1}{1.5}= 1

So for this case 14.6 is a value 1 deviation above the mean

We know that within 1 deviation from the mean we have 68% of the data, and on the tails we will have 100-68 = 32% and 16% on each tail, so then we can conclude that:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule, also known as three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, "is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ)".

Let X the random variable who represent the lifespans of meerkats.

From the problem we have the mean and the standard deviation for the random variable X. E(X)=13.1, Sd(X)=1.5

So we can assume \mu=13.1 , \sigma=1.5

On this case in order to check if the random variable X follows a normal distribution we can use the empirical rule that states the following:

• The probability of obtain values within one deviation from the mean is 0.68

• The probability of obtain values within two deviation's from the mean is 0.95

• The probability of obtain values within three deviation's from the mean is 0.997

And we want the following probability:

P(x

We can calculate the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}= \frac{14.6-13.1}{1.5}= 1

So for this case 14.6 is a value 1 deviation above the mean

We know that within 1 deviation from the mean we have 68% of the data, and on the tails we will have 100-68 = 32% and 16% on each tail, so then we can conclude that:

Refer to the number line. Find the coordinate of point D that is 7/16 M to J. of the distance from M to J.​
Usimov [2.4K]

The coordinate of point D that divides segment MJ in the ratio 7/16 is (13, 8)

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depends on other variable while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable.

Let us assume that point M is at (20, 1) and point J is at (4, 17), hence:

If point D(x, y) is 7/16 M to J, then:

x = (7/16)(4 - 20) + 20 = 13

y = (7/16)(17 - 1) + 1 = 8

The coordinate of point D that divides segment MJ in the ratio 7/16 is (13, 8)
