Answer:

5th percentile = 160.852 days

3rd quartile = 220.22 days

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let X be the random variable representing the waiting time.

Here the mean(\mu) = 203 days

Standard deviation (\sigma) = 25.7 days

For calculating the 5th percentile, we need to find the z- score having area 0.05.

By Z-score table we have Z= -1.64

Now, Using formula X=Z\sigma +\mu

X = (-1.64)*(25.7)+203

  = 160.852 days

Waiting time representing 5th percentile = 160.852 days.

For calculating third quartile, we know that third quartile represents the area to the left of 75% = 0.75

Hence, we need to calculate the Z score when the area is 0.75. Using the table we get Z= 0.67

X = (0.67)*(25.7)+203

   = 220.22 (days)

Waiting time representing third quartile = 220.22 days

The waiting time represents the 5th percentile is \boxed{160.73{\text{ }}\,{\text{days}}}.

The waiting time represents the 3rd quartile is \boxed{220.22{\text{ }}\,{\text{days}}}.

Further Explanation:

The Z score of the standard normal distribution can be obtained as,

{\text{Z}} = \dfrac{{X - \mu }}{\sigma }

Given:

The mean of test is \boxed{203}.

The standard deviation of the waiting time is \boxed{25.7}.

Explanation:

The value of z-score with fifth percentile can be obtained from the table is 1.6449.

The z-score is 1.6449.

The waiting time represents the 5th percentile can be obtained as,

\begin{aligned} \left( { - 1.6449} \right) &= \frac{{{\text{X}} - 203}}{{25.7}} \hfill \\ \left( { - 1.6449} \right) \times \left( {25.7} \right) &= {\text{X}} - 203 \hfill \\ - 42.27 &= {\text{X}} - 203 \hfill \\ - 42.27 + 203 &= {\text{X}} \hfill \\ {\text{160}}{\text{.73}&=  X}} \hfill \\ \end{aligned}

The waiting time represents the 5th percentile is \boxed{160.73{\text{ }}\,{\text{days}}}.

The value of z-score with third quartile can be obtained from the table is 0.67.

The z-score is 0.67.

The waiting time represents the 3rd quartile can be obtained as,

\begin{aligned} 0.67 &= \frac{{{\text{X}} - 203}}{{25.7}} \hfill \\ 0.67 \times \left( {25.7} \right) &= {\text{X}} - 203 \hfill \\ 17.19 + 203 &= {\text{X}} \hfill \\ {\text{220}}{\text{.22}} &= {\text{X}} \hfill \\ \end{aligned}

The waiting time represents the 3rd quartile is \boxed{220.22{\text{ }}\,{\text{days}}}.

ANSWER ASAP PLS<br><br>What is the range of f(x)?<br>​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of a function are the possible y-values (output values).

Options A and B are wrong, because the x-values are the input values.

The range is between -5 and -1 as shown in the graph (y-axis). The circle on the points are shaded so ‘≤’ is correct. Option C is wrong.

The range is greater than or equal to -5 and less than or equal to -1.
