The time taken by a randomly selected applicant for a mortgage to fill out a certain form has a normal distribution with mean va

lue 10 min and standard deviation 2 min. if five individuals fill out a form on one day and six on another, what is the probability that the sample average amount of time taken on each day is at most 11 min?

To solve for the probability proportion, we make use of the z statistic. The procedure to do is to calculate for the z value and using the standard probability tables, we can look up for the p value. The formula for z score is:

z =(x – μ) / (σ / sqrt(n))

where,

x = sample score = 11

μ = sample mean= 10

σ = standard deviation = 2

n = sample size

 

Calculating for the z and p value when n = 5:

z =(11 – 10) / (2 / sqrt(5))

z = 1.12

Using the tables, p(5) = 0.8686

 

Calculating for the z and p value when n = 6:

z =(11 – 10) / (2 / sqrt(6))

z = 1.22

Using the tables, p(6) = 0.8888

 

If both days should be occuring, therefore the total probability that each day is at most 11 min is:

p total = p(5) * p(6)

p total = 0.8686 * 0.8888

p total = 0.772

What is the reduced answer to 4/9 multiples by 4/5 equal
deff fn [24]
First, we know that when multiplying fractions, we multiply both the numerator and denominator.

so, in 4/9 • 4/5,
4•4 = 16, and
9•5 = 45

so, 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45.
now, we’ll look for the Least Common Factor

factors are numbers that you can multiply together to = another number.
the LEAST common Factor is the # that is smallest that you can divide both numbers by, in an equation and get a whole number.

for instance, 3•3 and 1•9 are the only ways to get 9, so, the factors are 1, 3, 9

let’s look for the LCF in 16 and 45. -
if we find the ways to get 16, we have:
1•16, 2•8, and 4•4
so, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
this is called FACTORING :)

the ways to get 45 are...
1•45, 3•15, and 5•9, so the FACTORS are
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, & 45.
- compare the factors of 16 & 45,
none of them are the same besides 1, and we know that dividing these numbers by 1 will not do anything.

because of this, we can not reduce 16/45, so the reduced answer to 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45

A restaurant manager can spend at most $400 a day for operating costs and payroll. It costs $100 each day to operate the bank an
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manager can spend at most of $400.

Total Money ≤ $400

Cost to operate bank = $100

Cost for each employee = $50

Let number of employees for the day bex

Hence the equation will become;

50x + 100 \leq 400

Solving this equation we get;

50x + 100 \leq 400\\50x \leq 400-100\\50x \leq 300\\x\leq \frac{300}{50}\\\\x\leq 6

Hence, The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

​​​​​​Write an equation to describe this situation using decimals. “Tessa bought x pounds of almonds. Lark (y) bought more than
kvasek [131]

Answer:

y = 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the total amount/pounds of almonds that Lark bought. x is the amount that Tessa bought. 3/5 is the same as 0.6. If we multiplied Tessa's amount by 0.6 it would decrease by 2/5 so we have to add 1 to make it 1.6. To find how much Lark bought multiply 1.6 and Tessa's amount.
