Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{4} x - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is siolate the y variable. We do this by subtracting x from both sides of the equation in this particular equation.

$x - 4y = 8 \\ - x \: \: \: - x \\ - 4y = - x + 8$

Now we change the -4y into just y using division. We have to divide boths sides by -4 to do so.

$- 4y = - x + 8 \\ \div ( - 4) \: \: \div ( - 4) \\ y = \frac{1}{4}x - 2$

There it is in slope intercept form.

Answer:

y=1/4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

your equation right now is in standard form: ax+by=c

equation: x-4y=8

what we want to do is isolate y on one side

subtract x from both sides

-4y=-x+8

divide by 4 on both sides

y=1/4x-2

Hope this helps! :)

A firm’s marketing manager believes that total sales for next year will follow the normal distribution, with a mean of $3.2 mill

Answer:

The sales level that has only a 3% chance of being exceeded next year is $3.67 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

In millions of dollars,

$\mu = 3.2, \sigma = 0.25$
