Answer:

Option D) $275

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $235

Standard Deviation, σ = $20

We are given that the distribution of amount of money spent by students is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.975

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20})=0.975  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P( z < 1.960) = 0.975

\displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20} = 1.960\\x =274.2 \approx 275

Approximately 97.5% of the students spent below $275 on textbook.

What is a solution to the system? y = x^2 + 2x - 15 y – 4x = -12
astra-53 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to solve the system of equations ...

  • y = x^2 +2x -15
  • y -4x = -12

Substituting the first expression for y into the second equation gives ...

  x^2 +2x -15 -4x = -12

  x^2 -2x -3 = 0 . . . . . . . . add 12

  (x -3)(x +1) = 0 . . . . . . .  factor

Solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: x = 3, x = -1.

The corresponding values of y are ...

  y = -12 +4x

  y = -12 +4{-1, 3} = -12 +{-4, 12} = {-16, 0}

The solutions to the system are ...

  (x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)
