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

15) What is the measure, in degrees, of an angle that is equivalent to 3/360 of a circle
blsea [12.9K]

There are exactly 360° in a circle, so the angle measure would be 3/360 * 360 = 3°.

Mikey's family is taking a road trip. Their car can travel no more than 260 miles without needing to refill the gas tank. They h
Assoli18 [71]

The solution to the inequality is that Mikey's family can drive at most 148

Inequality shows the non equal comparison of numbers or expressions.

Given that Mikey situation can be represented by the inequality:

112 + x ≤ 260

Solving the inequality:

112 + x ≤ 260

Subtract 112 from both sides of the equation:

112 + x - 112 ≤ 260 - 112

x ≤ 148

Hence from the inequality, we can see that Mikey's family can drive

at most 148

Eva and emily can clean the entire house in 4 hours. Eva can do it by herself in 6 hours. How long would it take emily to do it
aksik [14]
Let x = the number of hours Eva needs to complete the job
and y = the number of hours Emily needs to complete the job

x = 6
1/x + 1/y = 1/4
(The amount of work Eva does in 1 hr + the amount of work Emily does in 1 hr should equal 1/4 of the total work)
1/6 + 1/y = 1/4
1/y = 1/12
y = 12 hours
Emily would take 12 hours to do it by herself.
