Answer:

The standard deviation is 1.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a normal curve, we have that the area between the mean and the mean plus two times the standard deviation is something around 47.5%

Then the area between the mean minus two times the standard deviation and the mean plus two times the standard deviation is equal to the 95%.

the mean is 66

if the standard deviation is x, we have that:

66 + 2*x = 69

66 - 2*x = 63

then we can find that:

2*x = 66 - 63 = 3

x = 3/2 = 1.5

The standard deviation is 1.5 inches.

Graph y = 3(x + 2)3 - 3 and describe the end behavior.
-BARSIC- [3]
1) The function is 3(x + 2)³ - 3

2) The end behaviour is the limits when x approaches +/- infinity.

3) Since the polynomial is of odd degree you can predict that the ends head off in opposite direction. The limits confirm that.

4) The limit when x approaches negative infinity is negative infinity, then the left end of the function heads off downward (toward - ∞).

5) The limit when x approaches positive infinity is positivie infinity, then the right end of the function heads off upward (toward + ∞).

6) To graph the function it is important to determine:
- x-intercepts
- y-intercepts
- critical points: local maxima, local minima, and inflection points.


7) x-intercepts ⇒ y = 0

⇒ <span>3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)³ - 1 = 0
</span>

<span>⇒ (x + 2)³ = -1 ⇒ x + 2 =  1 ⇒ x = - 1
</span>

8) y-intercepts ⇒ x = 0

y = <span>3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 3(0 + 2)³ - 3 = 0 - 3×8 - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>9) Critical points ⇒ first derivative = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>i) dy / dx = 9(x + 2)² = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>⇒ x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) second derivative: to determine where x = - 2  is a local maximum, a local  minimum, or an inflection point.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>y'' = 18 (x + 2); x = - 2 ⇒ y'' = 0 ⇒ inflection point.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Then the function does not have local minimum nor maximum, but an inflection point at x =  -2.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Using all that information you can graph the function, and I attache the figure with the graph.
