To simplify a fraction you find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of the numerator and denominator.

To find the GCF find all the factors of both numbers and the factor that is highest is your GCF.

Example: 6/15

6: 1, 2, 3, 6
15: 1, 3, 5, 15

Three is the GCF in this example.

To simplify, divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF.

Example: 6/15

6/3 = 2
15/3 = 5

6/15 = 2/5

5/15 = 1/3
6/15 = 2/5
6/8 = 3/4
2/4 = 1/2

Answer:

$512.90 should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be 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.

Normally distributed with mean $480 and standard deviation $20.

This means that $\mu = 480, \sigma = 20$

How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.05?

This is the 100 - 5 = 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.

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

$1.645 = \frac{X - 480}{20}$

$X - 480 = 1.645*20$

$X = 512.9$

$512.90 should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.05
