Mathematics

1 answer:

inn [45]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is 60:

Divide the amount and decimal of the percentage to be extracted

Case 1

$\frac{21}{0.35} =60$

Case 2

$\frac{54}{0.9} =60$

Now the 55% of this number is:

$60(0.55)=33$

Hope this helps

A study of long-distance phone calls made from General Electric's corporate headquarters in Fairfield, Connecticut, revealed the

Answer:

a) 0.4332 = 43.32% of the calls last between 3.6 and 4.2 minutes

b) 0.0668 = 6.68% of the calls last more than 4.2 minutes

c) 0.0666 = 6.66% of the calls last between 4.2 and 5 minutes

d) 0.9330 = 93.30% of the calls last between 3 and 5 minutes

e) They last at least 4.3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 3.6, \sigma = 0.4$

(a) What fraction of the calls last between 3.6 and 4.2 minutes?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 4.2 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.6.

X = 4.2

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{4.2 - 3.6}{0.4}$

$Z = 1.5$

$Z = 1.5$ has a pvalue of 0.9332

X = 3.6

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{3.6 - 3.6}{0.4}$

$Z = 0$

$Z = 0$ has a pvalue of 0.5

0.9332 - 0.5 = 0.4332

0.4332 = 43.32% of the calls last between 3.6 and 4.2 minutes

(b) What fraction of the calls last more than 4.2 minutes?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.2. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{4.2 - 3.6}{0.4}$

$Z = 1.5$

$Z = 1.5$ has a pvalue of 0.9332

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% of the calls last more than 4.2 minutes

(c) What fraction of the calls last between 4.2 and 5 minutes?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.2. So

X = 5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{5 - 3.6}{0.4}$

$Z = 3.5$

$Z = 3.5$ has a pvalue of 0.9998

X = 4.2

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{4.2 - 3.6}{0.4}$

$Z = 1.5$

$Z = 1.5$ has a pvalue of 0.9332

0.9998 - 0.9332 = 0.0666

0.0666 = 6.66% of the calls last between 4.2 and 5 minutes

(d) What fraction of the calls last between 3 and 5 minutes?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.

X = 5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{5 - 3.6}{0.4}$

$Z = 3.5$

$Z = 3.5$ has a pvalue of 0.9998

X = 3

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{3 - 3.6}{0.4}$

$Z = -1.5$

$Z = -1.5$ has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.9998 - 0.0668 = 0.9330

0.9330 = 93.30% of the calls last between 3 and 5 minutes

(e) As part of her report to the president, the director of communications would like to report the length of the longest (in duration) 4% of the calls. What is this time?

At least X minutes

X is the 100-4 = 96th percentile, which is found when Z has a pvalue of 0.96. So X when Z = 1.75.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.75 = \frac{X - 3.6}{0.4}$

$X - 3.6 = 0.4*1.75$

$X = 4.3$

They last at least 4.3 minutes

Complete the area model to identify the factored form of the quadratic expression it represents. A) (x + 2)(x + 5) B) (x − 2)(x

liberstina [14]

The correct answer is D (x - 5)(x - 2)

You can tell this because in the picture, we are looking for all of the cross sections to multiply to their appropriate boxes. In the bottom right corner, we see the number 10. This means that the bottom number and the right number must multiply to 10. This only happens in A and D, whereas in B and C those equal -10.

To determine between A and D, you must find the ones that have negatives, since the two x values are both negatives. D is the only one with negative numbers out of the ones we are left working with. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
