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.

grandymaker [24]

Let the number of days be x.

Jameer paints 1 wall in 3 days. In 1 day, he paints 1/3 of a wall. In x days, he paints (1/3)x walls.

June paints 2 walls in 5 days. In 1 day, she paints 2/5 of a wall. In x days, she paints (2/5)x walls.

Working together, in x days they paint (1/3)x + (2/5)x walls.

We want to know the number of days they will take to paint 10 walls, so we let the expression equal 10.

(1/3)x + (2/5)x = 10

(5/15)x + (6/15)x = 10

(11/15)x = 10

x = 10 * 15/11

x = 150/11

It will take 150/11 days which is the same as 13.6363... days or approximately 13.6 days.

43. Consider the equation 4(x-8)+y=9(x-2)
xxMikexx [17]

The expression of the equation 4(x - 8) + y = 9(x - 2) in slope intercept form is; y = 5x + 14

<h3>How to write an equation in Slope Intercept form?</h3>

We want to express 4(x - 8) + y = 9(x - 2) in slope intercept form of y = mx + b.

Let us expand the equation to get;

4x - 32 + y = 9x - 18

Isolate y to get;

y = 9x - 4x - 18 + 32

y = 5x + 14

Thus;

Slope = 5

y - intercept = 14

x - intercept = -2.8
