Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The mean (μ) one-way commute to work in Chowchilla is 7 minutes. The standard deviation (σ) is 2.4 minutes.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) For x < 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 2) = P(z < -2.08) = 0.0188 = 1.88%

b) For x = 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

For x = 11:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 11) = P(-2.08 < z < 1.67 ) = P(z < 1.67) - P(z < -2.08) = 0.9525 - 0.0188 = 0.9337  

c) For x = 11:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 11) = P(z < 1.67) = 0.9525

d) For x = 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

For x = 5:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 5) = P(-2.08 < z < -0.83 ) = P(z < -0.83) - P(z < -2.08) =  0.2033- 0.0188 = 0.1845  

e) For x = 5:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 5) = P(z < -0.83) = 0.2033

Anettt [7]

Answer:

x = 63

y = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of cookies sold is x and that of cupcakes i y, we have:

x + y = 110

2x + 4y = 314

Please see the image for the detailed steps.

Determine the solution set of (2x - 5)2 = 11.
zhenek [66]
I think what you meant was

(2x - 5)² = 11 -- (1)

Square root both sides of (1), i.e.

√(2x - 5)² = ± √11 -- (2)

From (2), we have

2x - 5 = ± √11 -- (3)

By adding 5 to both sides in (3), we have

2x = 5 ± √11 -- (4)

Divide both sides of (4) by 2, and we obtain

x = (5 ± √11)/2 -- (5)

From (5), the solution set of (1) is

x = (5 + √11)/2, (5 - √11)/2 ...Ans.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

There are 216 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide 126 by 7 (number of women) and you get 18 then you times that by 5 (total number of men) and you get 90 finally you add 90 (men) and 126 (women) to get 216 employees in total.

Please can u help me with this<br><br> Thank u:)

H=-16t² +v(0)t+h(0)
v(0)=192
h=-16t² +192t+h(0)
 h(0) should be  0, because the mortar sits on the ground.
h= - 16t²+192t
This function will have maximum because it has minus  before x², and parabola is looking down.

h=-(16t²-192t)=-(16t² -2*4t*24+24²)+24²
h=-(4t-24)²+24²
h=-(4t-24)²+576 
vertex (24 feet, 576 feet)
24 feet horizontally from the mortar and 576 feet up
