lol, there are three.
Step-by-step explanation:
thanks for the points I guess.
a = interest rate of first CD
b = interest rate of second CD
and again, let's say the principal invested in each is $X.

$600 because you must multiply. 150/ (25/100)... 1,500/25= 600
Answer:
1899
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 3234
Standard deviation = 871
Percentage of newborns who weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams:
1492 = 3234 - 2*871
So 1492 is two standard deviations below the mean.
4976 = 3234 + 2*871
So 4976 is two standard deviations above the mean.
By the Empirical Rule, 95% of newborns weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams.
Out of 1999:
0.95*1999 = 1899
So the answer is 1899
