   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>

How to write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points?
Paha777 [63]
Slope intercept form of an equation is:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the t intercept.

First you must determine the slope of the line. This is a ratio of how fast the line travels up or down vs how fast it is moving to the right. Another name for this is rise over run. The equation to find the slope is:
m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

now to find b. We can plug in one of the points of the equation into our first equation along with the slope to get out b value.

So if our 2 points were (2, 3) and (3, 4) we could find slope intercept form like this:
m = (2 - 3) / (3 - 4)
m = -1 / -1
m = 1
Now taking point (2, 3)
3 = 1 * 2 + b
1 = b
Finally to plug our m and b into equation for answer:
y = 1x + 1
However, 1 * anything is redundant therefore:
y = x + 1

Figure ABCD is translated down by 6 units:
MaRussiya [10]

Translation does not affect angles or side lengths. Sides that are parallel before translation remain parallel after translation.

The only parallel sides in this figure are AD and BC, so the only reasonable choice is ...
