Answer:

55 paper plates for $4.40 is your best buy because the price for unit is $0.08

and 4.40 ÷ 55 = .08

Therefore, the best buy is $.08  or 55 paper plates for $4.40

Hitman42 [59]
Z = (X-Mean)/SD 
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16% 
</span>
<span>Therefore, 
</span>
<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>
