Turn 5 into 5/1 and 1 7/8 into 15/8. Add them and turn the number back to a proper fraction. After that your final answer will be 2 4/8. HOPE THIS HELPS!

Assume the hold time of callers to a cable company is normally distributed with a mean of 5.5 minutes and a standard deviation o

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The percent of callers are 37.21 who are on hold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A normally distributed data.

Mean of the data, $\mu$ = 5.5 mins

Standard deviation, $\sigma$ = 0.4 mins

We have to find the callers percentage who are on hold between 5.4 and 5.8 mins.

Lets find z-score on each raw score.

⇒ $z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}$ ...raw score, $x_1$ = $5.4$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $z_1=\frac{5.4-5.5}{0.4}$

⇒ $z_1=-0.25$

For raw score 5.5 the z score is.

⇒ $z_2=\frac{5.8-5.5}{0.4}$

⇒ $z_2=0.75$

Now we have to look upon the values from Z score table and arrange them in probability terms then convert it into percentages.

We have to work with P(5.4<z<5.8).

⇒ $P(5.4$

⇒ $P(-0.25$

⇒ $P(z$

⇒ $z(1.5)=0.7734$ and $z(-0.25)=0.4013$ .<em>..from z -score table.</em>

⇒ $0.7734-0.4013$

⇒ $0.3721$

To find the percentage we have to multiply with 100.

⇒ $0.3721\times 100$

⇒ $37.21$ %

The percent of callers who are on hold between 5.4 minutes to 5.8 minutes is 37.21

A girl is on the beach and the angle of elevation from her feet to the top of a lighthouse is 62' If the lighthouse is 30ft tall

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

15.95 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 62°

Using trigonometric relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

From the drawing attached :

Opposite = 30 feets

Distance between girl and lighthouse = d

Tan 62 = 30 / d

1.8807264 * d = 30

d = 30 / 1.8807264

d = 15.951283

d = 15.95 feets

For which values of k does the system of linear equations have zero, one, or an infinite number of solutions? [Note: not all thr

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The system has an infinite solution at k = 6, otherwise for any value of k, it has zero solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the system of linear equations:

$3x_{1} -x_{2}=2\;\;\;\;\;\;(1)\\ 9x_{1} -3x_{2}=k\;\;\;\;\;(2)$

The system of linear equations can have zero, one, or an infinite number of solutions:

simplify equation (1):

$x_{2}=3x_{1} -2$

substitute in equation (2), we get

$9x_{1} -3(3x_{1}-2)=k\\9x_{1} -9x_{1}+6=k\\0+6=k$

we cannot find the value of $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ .

so, there is no solution.

Multiply the equation (1) with 3 and put k is 6,

$3(3x_{1} -x_{2})=3\times2\\9x_{1} -3x_{2})=6$

it means both equations are overlapped. Then, the solution has infinite solutions.

Hence, the system has an infinite solutions at k is 6 otherwise for any value of k it has no solution.

32. The price of a box of tarts is $1 cheaper than that of a loaf of bread. If 3 times the price of a

Delvig [45]

Answer: $8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bread = x

Let the price of a tarts = x - 1

If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:

3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5

3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5

3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5

3.5x = 30

x = 30/3.5

x = 8.6
