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

The question says “The image shows the front of Bob’s barn.Bob plans on painting the front of his barn,not including the doors o

AleksandrR [38]

Bob need to paint 205 square feet.

Solution:

Length of the door = 7 ft

Breadth of the door = 5 ft

Area of the door = length × breadth

= 7 × 5

= 35

Area of the door = 35 ft²

The given image is a trapezoid.

Top base = 12 ft

Bottom base = 20 ft

Area of the trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2} \times\text{sum of the parallel sides}\times\text{height}$

$$=\frac{1}{2}\times(12+20)}\times15$

$$=\frac{1}{2}\times 32\times15$

= 240

Area of the trapezoid = 240 ft²

Surface area to paint = Area of the trapezoid – Area of the door

= 240 ft² – 35 ft²

= 205 ft²

Hence Bob need to paint 205 square feet.

What is the equation of the line (in slope-intercept form) that passes through the point (5,−1) and is parallel to the line y=2x

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===============================$

$\text{The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\m-slope\\b-y-intercept\\\\==========================$

$\text{We have the equation of a line:}\ y=2x-7\to m_1=2.\\\\\text{The slope of a parallel line:}\ m_2=m_1=2.\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\\\\y=2x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (5, -1) o the equation:}\\\\-1=2(5)+b\\-1=10+b\qquad\tex\text{subtract 10 from both sides}\\-11=b\to b=-11\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=2x-11$
