In 2000, each person in the US consumed an average of 135 pounds of natural sweeteners. The amount of natural sweeteners consumed is increasing by an average of 2.9 pounds per year. 1.) Write an equation to find the average consumption of natural sweeteners in any year after 2000.
2.) Find the number of pounds of natural sweeteners consumed by each person in 2010.
a.) C= 2.9n +135 and C= 164 pounds
b.) C= 2.9 +n +135 and C = 154 pounds
c.) C= 2.9/n + 135 and C=164 pounds
d.) C= 2.9-n+135 and C = 154 pounds

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
