Answer:

Option D (7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for gradient of the straight line is given by:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1); where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two fixed points on the straight line. It is given that (x1, y1) = (4, r) and (x2, y2) = (r, 2). The gradient of the straight line is given by -5/3. To find the value of r, simply substitute all the values in the gradient equation. Therefore:

-5/3 = (2 - r)/(r - 4).

Cross Multiplying:

-5*(r - 4) = 3*(2 - r).

-5r + 20 = 6 - 3r.

-2r = -14.

r = 7.

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer!!!

The distribution of heights of young women aged 18 to 24 is approximately normal with a mean of 64.5 inches and a standard devia

Lena [83]

The 68 - 95 - 99.7 rule, gives the basis to solve this question.

It says that for a normal distribution 95% of the results are between the mean minus 2 standard deviations and the mean plus 2 standard deviations.

Here:
mean = 64.5 inches,
standard deviaton = 2.5 inches

mean - 2 standard deviations = 64.5 inches - 5 inches = 59.5 inches

mean + 2 standard deviations = 64.5 inches + 5 inches = 69.5 inches

Then, the answer is that 95% of women range approximately between 59.5 inches and 69.5 inches.

Yes he is right because if u have

-6 -(-4) u would multiply the 2 signs the - and the -4 and u would get +4

then ur equation becomes -6+4 = -2
