You write it as 0.5. Just divide both numbers
Rearranging y = 8x -4y = 12 in the y = mx + b form gives y = 2x - 3
y = 2x - 3
y = mx - 6 (already in y = mx + b form)
--------------
Parallel lines have the same slope.
m = 2
Note that the two lines have the different y-intercepts and are not the same line.
The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.
Answer:
c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs
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 deviations of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean 7, standard deviation 1.7.
For about 95% of students, nightly amount of sleep is between
7 - 2*1.7 = 7 - 3.4 = 3.6 hours
7 + 2*1.7 = 7 + 3.4 = 10.4 hours
So the correct answer is:
c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs
