Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-3x+13

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

A line parallel to this line will have the same slope, -3. We can start by writing:

y = -3x + b

No matter what is chosen for the value of b, this line will be parallel. We do want the line to go through point (6,10), however. The way that can be done is to find a value of b that would shift the line to go through (6,10).

Find b by entering the point (6,10) into the equation, and then solve for b:

y = -3x + b

10 = -3(6) + b

10 = -18 + b

b = 28

The line becomes y = 3x + 28

The 90th percentile of the distribution is 6.512 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 6 milliliters (ml) and a standard deviation of 0.4 ml.

This means that $\mu = 6, \sigma = 0.4$
