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

Because bernard has some health issues, he must pay 15% more for life insurance. about how much more annually will a $115,000 10
Sergeu [11.5K]

The amount more annually a $115,000 10-year term insurance at age 35 cost Bernard than someone of the same age without health issues is $24.

<h3>What are insurance premiums?</h3>

The insurance premium is paid as a cost to cover a possible loss that is unseen.

The annual premium rate as a percentage of the value insured a person at age 35 has to pay is 0.14%.

From the given information, we have that the amount a 35-year-old without health issues will pay per $1,000 is $1.40

The amount to be paid for $115,000 is 115 × $1.4 = $161

The amount Bernard pays = 15% more

= 1.15 × $161

= $185.15

Therefore,

The amount more Bernard has to pay = $185.15 - $161

= $24.15 ≈ $24

How to isolate scalars from a matrix
I am Lyosha [343]
The technique of matrix isolation involves condensing the substance to be studied with a large excess of inert gas (usually argon or nitrogen) at low temperature to form a rigid solid (the matrix). The early development of matrix isolation spectroscopy was directed primarily to the study of unstable molecules and free radicals. The ability to stabilise reactive species by trapping them in a rigid cage, thus inhibiting intermolecular interaction, is an important feature of matrix isolation. The low temperatures (typically 4-20K) also prevent the occurrence of any process with an activation energy of more than a few kJ mol-1. Apart from the stabilisation of reactive species, matrix isolation affords a number of advantages over more conventional spectroscopic techniques. The isolation of monomelic solute molecules in an inert environment reduces intermolecular interactions, resulting in a sharpening of the solute absorption compared with other condensed phases. The effect is, of course, particularly dramatic for substances that engage in hydrogen bonding. Although the technique was developed to inhibit intermolecular interactions, it has also proved of great value in studying these interactions in molecular complexes formed in matrices at higher concentrations than those required for true isolation.

Find the missing number so that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
Alex17521 [72]

equation has infinitely many solutions has the same number on both sides of the equal sign

-3x -21 + x + 5 = -20x -16

-2x -16 = -20x -16

so either you have -18x on the left or +18x in the right
