Recall that

which means

Now,
could be positive or negative, which means
. If we specifically knew the sign of
was positive, then we can simplify and write

or if it's negative,

The final part of the question is asking;
How much did all (99.7%) of the students spend on textbooks in a semester
Answer:
almost all (99.7%) of the students spent between $165 and $315 on textbooks in a semester.
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard deviation rule describes to us that for distributions that have the normal shape, approximately 99.7% of the observations fall within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this question, we are given that; Mean = 240 and Standard deviation= 25
So, 3 standard deviation below the mean = Mean - 3(standard deviation)
= 240 - (3 × 25)
= 240 - 75 = 165
Now, 3 standard deviation above the mean = Mean + 3 standard deviation = 240 + (3 × 25)
= 240 + 75 = 315
So, almost all (99.7%) of the students spent between $165 and $315 on textbooks in a semester.
<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The value of y is </em><em>6 units</em><em>.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
Given ∆ABC ≅ ∆GEF
If two triangles are congruent, then the corresponding sides are also congruent.
So,
EF = BC, GF = AC
Putting the values,
--------------1

--------------------2
Putting the values of x in equation 1,


Therefore, the value of y is 6 units.
First month she payed 1451 dollars
Second month she payed 1/3 of that, which is:
1451/3 = 483.66
Third month she payed 1/3 of 483.66 because as text says, every next month she pays 1/3 of previous month payed amount.
483.66/3 = 161.22
Forth month she payed
161.22/3 = 53.74
In total she payed:
$2149.62 - B.
hope this helps :)
