Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

y2 - y1

m = ------------- , which here becomes

x2 - x1

y - 5 -1

m = ------------- = -----

8 - (-2) 5

Solve this for x. Cross multiplication yields:

5y - 25 = -1(10) = -10

Then 5y = 15, and y = 3

The heights of women aged 20 to 29 follow approximately the N(64, 2.82) distribution. Men the same age have heights distributed

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:96.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mean height of women $\mu _w=64$

Standard deviation of height $\sigma _w=2.82$

mean height of men $\mu _=69.3$

Standard deviation of height $\sigma _m=2.71$

P $\left ( X$

P $\left ( \frac{x-\mu _w}{\sigma _w}\right )$

P $\left ( Z$

i.e. 0.9697=96.97 %

larry ran 220 meters farther that leigh ran. leigh ran 2.3 kilometers. how many kilometers did larry run?

Gala2k [10]

Larry ran 2.52 killometers. Since a meter is 0.001 killometers, you have to do 0.001 x 220 which is 0.22 then do 2.3 + 0.22 and get 2.52.
