SOLUTION:
A normal distribution would model this situation because the distribution is approximately symmetrical, thus the mean, median and mode are approximately the same and the population size is large ( greater than 30).

Well, you will need to find out how much each person reads per hour. To find that out, you will need to divide 126 by 3, resulting in 41 pages an hour. If you do the same thing with Zack, you will be able to find out that he reads 45 pages an hour. Now, you will need to multiply the number of pages per hour by 5! if you multiply 41 by 5, you get 205 pages. If you multiply 45 by 5, you get 225 pages. Pam isnt able to read more than 215 pages in 5 hours, but Zack is able to.

Alright, so you have the basic formula- good.
You have the A value (400), the interest rate r (7.5% -> .075 in decimal), and the final P value (8500). So, we only need to solve for t.
8500 = (400)(1+.075)^t
/400 /400
21.25 = 1.075^t
logarithms are the inverse of exponents, basically, if you have an example like
y = b^x, then a logarithm inverts it, logy(baseb)=x
Makes sense if you consider a power of ten.
1000 = 10^3
if you put logbase10(1000), you'll get 3.
Anyways, though, to solve the problem make a log with a base of 1.075 in your calculator
log21.25(base 1.075) = t
also, because of rules of change of base (might want to look this up to clarify), you can write this as log(21.25)/log(1.075) = t
Thus, t is 42.26118551.
Rounded to hundredths, t=42.26
