Answer:

y= -2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

standard form for lines is y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we already know that m is -2, so we just need to figure out the intercept.

the point given is (7,-3)

points are written as (x,y) so we can plug it into the equation with 7 for the x and -3 for y

-3 = -2 (7) + b

-3 = -14 + b

11 = b

so the equation is y=-2x+11

Answer:

$P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

$P(z>1.61)=1-P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(10.5,0.3)$
