Answer:

(6.2, 8.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 7.5 hours

Standard deviation = 1.3 hours

About 68% of adults:

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean. So

7.5 - 1.3 = 6.2 hours

7.5 + 1.3 = 8.8 hours.

So the answer is (6.2, 8.8).

Dmitrij [34]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-x + 3x + 1 + 4(x + 2) = 54

To solve, first open the bracket by applying the distributive property. Multiply every term you have in the bracket by 4

-x + 3x + 1 + 4x + 8 = 54

Add like terms together

6x + 9 = 54

Subtract 9 from each side

6x = 54 - 9

6x = 45

Divide both sides by 6

x = 45/6

x = 7.5

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

224 more flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

If the planner wants the ratio of flowers to shrubs to be 12:1, that means there will be 12 times as many flowers as shrubs.

Find what 12 times the number of shrubs is:

24(12)

= 288

So, the planner will need 288 flowers in total.

Find how many more he needs to plant by subtracting the current amount of flowers from 288:

288 - 64

= 224

So, the garden planner will need 224 more flowers.
