Answer:

The Probability = 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical rule formula states that:

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Average = 13.1 years

Standard deviation = 1.5 years

x = 14.6 years

= 14.6 -13.1/1.5

= 1

This falls within 1 standard deviations of the mean

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

Hence:

100 - 68%/2 = 32/2 = 16%

Converting to probability = 0.16

The probability of a meerkat living longer than 14.6 years is 0.16

"sam's furniture was destroyed by a fire. the furniture cost $1200 when it was purchased, but similar new furniture now costs $1
oee [108]
Deprecated means the price is decreased, so if something is deprecated by 50% (which just means 1/2 is taken away) its original price is just cut in half. so half of 1200 (1200 divided by 2) is 600. i think the answer is 600 :-)

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium
bazaltina [42]
First, we define variables:
 x: small hat
 y: medium hat
 z: large hat
 We now write the system of equations:
 x + y + z = 47
 5.50x + 6y + 7z = 302
 -3x + y = 0
 We can write the system in matrix form as:
 Ax = b
 Where,
 A = [1  1  1; 5.50  6  7; -3  1  0]
 b = [47;  302;  0]
 x = [x;  y ;  z]
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 6
 y = 18
 z = 23
 Answer:
 
the coach did purchase 23 large hats
