A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region

is approximately normal with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 3 ounces. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the southern region is approximately normal with mean 16 ounces and standard deviation 2.5 ounces.(a) Calculate the z-scores for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the northern region and for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the southern region.(b) Is it more likely that a bird of this type with a weight greater than 13 ounces lives in the northern region or the southern region? Justify your answer.

Answer:

a) Z for northern region = 1 , Z for southern region = -1.2

b) Southern region

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Z = (x – mean)/standard deviation

Le x be weight for birds

For the northern region  

Z = (13 – 10)/3

Z = 1

For the southern region

Z = (13 – 16)/2.5

Z = -1.2

b) to find in what region is more likely to find a bird with 13 ounces, we calculate the probability for each z value

For the northern region  

P (x>13) = P(z > 1)

Then we use the z table to find the area under the curve.

P (x>13) = 0.1587

For the southern region

P (x>13) = P(z > 1.2)

Then we use the z table to find the area under the curve.

P (x>13) = 0.8849

Is it more likely that a bird with a weight greater than 13 ounces lives in the southern region

(-4, -7) and (-6, 9) in slope-intercept form. Show work
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Equation of line in slope-intercept form is: y = -8x-39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(-4, -7) and (-6, 9)

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation

y = mx+b

Here m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

m is found using the formula

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here

(x1,y1) = (-4-7)

(x2,y2) = (-6,9)

Putting the values in the formula

m = \frac{9+7}{-6+4} = \frac{16}{-2} = -8

Putting slope in general equation

y = -8x+b

Putting (-6,9) in the equation

9 = -8(-6)+b\\9 = 48+b\\b = 9-48\\b = -39

Putting the value of b we get

y = -8x-39

Hence,

Equation of line in slope-intercept form is: y = -8x-39

I’ll love u forever if u help me with this ASAP PLZZZ I don’t get it plzzz
laiz [17]

Answer:

v= 13

w= -32

Step-by-step explanation:

2v+6w=-36

5v+2w=1

2w= 1-5v

2v+ (3)(1-5v)= -36

2v+3-15v= -36

3-13v =-36

3--36= 13v

39= 13v

13 = V

5×13+2w=1

65+2w=1

1-65= 2w

-64=2w

-32=w
