Answer:

>0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

This probably refers to a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, according to the empirical rule,

68% of observed data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean

95% falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean

99.7% falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean

In this case, the observed data is distance and the average figure for all observed distances is the mean distance.

So, the probability that a/any distance observed exceeds the mean distance by more than 2 standard deviations is >95%

In other words, the probability is >0.95

Two companies are competing for a contract to sell the school wifi. Comporium

enot [183]

It would take 8 months for Comporium to cost more than Brighthouse.

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let c represent the total cost to install Wi-Fi for m number of months.

For Comporium:

c = 39.99m + 100

For Brighthouse:

c = 49.99m + 20

For Comporium to cost more than Brighthouse:

39.99m + 100 > 49.99m + 20

10m > 80

m > 8

It would take 8 months for Comporium to cost more than Brighthouse.

Line segment XY begins at (-6,4) and ends at (-2,4); XY is reflected over the x-axis and translated left 3 units to form line segment X'Y' which has a length of 4 units.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Line segment XY begins at (-6,4) and ends at (-2,4). Hence:

$XY = \sqrt{(4-4)^2 + (-2 +6)^2} \\\\XY = \sqrt{0+16} \\\\XY = \sqrt{16} \\\\XY = 4$

XY is reflected over the x-axis and translated left 3 units to form line segment X'Y'. Hence:

XY = X'Y' = 4 units

Line segment XY begins at (-6,4) and ends at (-2,4); XY is reflected over the x-axis and translated left 3 units to form line segment X'Y' which has a length of 4 units.
