The monthly amounts spent for food by families of four receiving food stamps approximates a symmetrical, normal distribution. the sample mean is $150 and the standard deviation is $20. using the empirical rule, about 95% of the monthly food expenditures are between what two amounts?
a. $205 and $220
b. $85 and $105
c. $100 and $200
d. $110 and $190

correct answer comes out to be option D

Step-by-step explanation:

sample mean (μ)  = $150

standard deviation (σ)  =  $20

for about 95% of monthly food expenditure are between

                     = μ - 2 σ  ,   μ + 2 σ

                     = $150 - 2 × $20   ,   $150 + 2 × $20

                     = $110  ,   $ 190

so, the range comes out to be in between $110 and $ 190.

Hence, the correct answer comes out to be option D.

answer: y=0 if that is what u r looking for

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
