I will try my best...


Let x and y be the two numbers.  


x = y - 4  


2y = 5x - 10  


Now, we solve the system of equations:  


2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  


2y = 5y - 20 - 10  


-3y = -30  



So...


y = 10  


x = 10 - 4 = 6

Let x and y be the two numbers.  

x = y - 4  

2y = 5x - 10  

solve the system of equations:  

2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  

2y = 5y - 20 - 10  

-3y = -30  

y = 10  

x = 10 - 4 = 6

IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
jekas [21]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 1851 people would have an IQ less than 115.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 15

The proportion of IQ scores less than 115 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 115</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{115 - 100}{15}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.8413.

Out of 2200 people:

0.8413 x 2200 = 1851.

Write the equation of the line that has an x-intercept of -3 and passes through the point (-3, 7).
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

'x = -3', when graphed, passes through the point (-3,7) and (-3,0).

Since the line passes (-3,0), the x-intercept is -3.

(-3, 7) lies on the equation.

I have attached a picture of the graphed equation.

'x = -3' should be the correct answer.
