The 2.88 minutes have to reduce the standard deviation to increase the efficiency.

According to the statement

we have given that the duration of the trip is 2 hours and 15 minutes. And we have to how much standard deviation be reduced to increase the operational efficiency.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

Let X be the time taken to reach the resort. Then it is  given that the

N (μ , σ).

Here μ is 2 hours then

μ  = 2*60 = 120 minutes.

And

Let σ be the reduced standard deviation such that new distributions becomes N (μ , σ)

Then P ( x <135)

here 135 is the minute format of 2 hours and 15 min.

So,

P ( x <135) = 0.95

And

P [ (x -120 / σ) < (135 -120 / σ)] = 0.95

P [ Z < ( 15 / σ)] = 0.95

And after solving it the

σ = 9.22 min.

i.e. 12 - 9.22 = 2.88 min.

So, The 2.88 minutes have to reduce the standard deviation to increase the efficiency.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length and then round the result to the nearest tenth.

A^2+B^3=c^2
6^2+8^2=c^2
36+16=c^2
52=c^2
Square root both sides

avanturin [10]

Answer: G does not show the relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of months and he originally had 25 coins. The correct representation of this equation would be y=8x+25 since he adds 8 coins every month. So, G does not show the relationship.
