Shannon participated in a national math contest by taking a math test. The test results followed a normal distribution with a mean score of 72.6 points out of 100 and a standard deviation of 8.7. Shannon received a score of 81 points. Shannon thinks she performed better than 68% of the students in the contest Shannon is incorrect because her score of 81 is...
a. approximately −2 standard deviations from the mean
b. approximately −1 standard deviations from the mean
c. approximately 1 standard deviations from the mean
d. approximately 2 standard deviations from the mean

80 the answer is 80

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

the answer is 8.64

step-by-step explanation:

school a:

minimum value is 2

maximum value is 22

the lower quartile is 2.5

the median is 10

the upper quartile is 15.5

school b:

minimum value is 9

maximum value is 20

the lower quartile is 12

the median is 16

the upper quartile is 18

box plot for school a isn't symmetrical. the data tails on the right

box plot for school b isn't symmetrical. the data tails on the left
