The lifespans of meerkats in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average meerkat lives 10.4 years, the standard deviation is 1.9 years. Use the empirical rule (68 - 95 - 99.7%) to estimate the probability of a meerkat living less than 16.1 years.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
