   First, lookup a standard normal table and see what the z-score is for 0.025 (one half of 100% - 95%) to allow for equal sized tails. You should find that the z-score is 1.96. That means that 95% of the time, the value should be within 1.96 standard deviations of the mean. Now let's calculate the standard deviation. 800 is 800 - 1200 = -400 to the left of the mean of 1200. 1600 is 1600 - 1200 = 400 to the right of the mean of 1200. So we are an equal distance of 400 on both sides of the mean. And we know from the z-score of 1.96, that we're 1.96 standard deviations from the mean. So a little division will give us the standard deviation. Which is: 400 / 1.96 = 204.0816327
   So the standard deviation of the light bulbs is 204</span>

The expression 2.85+2.70M gives the taxi fare in dollars for a trip of M miles. On Thursday you got a find Miss Hearst took a ta
horrorfan [7]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Total fair of the two trips was $32.7

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>We are given that the expression that taxi fair is:</u>

2.85 + 2.7M where M represents the number of miles

<u>1- For Thursday:</u>

Number of miles covered = M = 6 miles

<u>Substitute with M=6 in the given equation to get the fair on Thursday as follows:</u>

Fair on Thursday = 2.85 + 2.7(6) = $19.05

<u>2- For Friday:</u>

Number of miles covered = M = 4 miles

<u>Substitute with M=4 in the given equation to get the fair on Friday as follows:</u>

Fair on Friday = 2.85 + 2.7(4) = $13.65

<u>3- The total fair:</u>

Total fair = fair on Thursday + fair on Friday

Total fair = 19.05 + 13.65 = $32.7

Hope this helps :)
