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

Answer:

T(x, y) = (x - 5, y - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation T is a translation that creates an image P' of original point P by adding 5 to the x-coordinate and 6 to the y-coordinate of the original point P.

Now you want to transform point P' into point P, so you are undoing the first transformation. You need to do the opposite of what the transformation above does. You need to subtract 5 from the x-coordinate and subtract 6 from the y-coordinate.

Answer: T(x, y) = (x - 5, y - 6)
