First you had to multiply by negative seven and positive eight and its equal to negative fifty-six.

$-7*8=-56$

$7*-8=-56$

The answer its should be true.

$\boxed{TRUE}$

$\boxed{-56=-56}$

$8*7=56$

$56/7=8$

$56/8=7$

Hope this helps!

And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.

Yes, because it does not matter which order you multiply the factors in; you will always get the same answer.

The prices of all college textbooks follow a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of $113 and a standard deviation of $12. Using

Soloha48 [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the empirical rule states that for a normally distributed random variable,

68.27% of the data lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

95.45% of the data lies within two standard deviations of the mean.

99.73% of the data lies within three standard deviations of the mean.

In mathematical notation, as shown in the figure below (for a standard normal distribution), the empirical rule is described as

$\Phi(\mu \ - \ \sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ \sigma) \ = \ 0.6827 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.}) \\ \\ \\ \Phi(\mu \ - \ 2\sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ 2\sigma) \ = \ 0.9545 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.}) \\ \\ \\ \Phi}(\mu \ - \ 3\sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ 3\sigma) \ = \ 0.9973 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.})$

where the symbol $\Phi$ (the uppercase greek alphabet phi) is the cumulative density function of the normal distribution, $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the normal distribution defined as $N(\mu, \ \sigma)$ .

According to the empirical rule stated above, the interval that contains the prices of 99.7% of college textbooks for a normal distribution $N(113, \ 12)$ ,

$\Phi(113 \ - \ 3 \ \times \ 12 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 113 \ + \ 3 \ \times \ 12) \ = \ 0.9973 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.75cm} \Phi(113 \ - \ 36 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 113 \ + \ 36) \ = \ 0.9973 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{3.95cm} \Phi(77 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 149) \ = \ 0.9973$
