Answer:
n= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-2(n + 3) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-2(3 + n) + -4 = 8
(3 * -2 + n * -2) + -4 = 8
(-6 + -2n) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-6 + -4 + -2n = 8
Combine like terms: -6 + -4 = -10
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + -2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -2n = 8 + 10
-2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: 8 + 10 = 18
-2n = 18
Divide each side by '-2'.
n = -9
Simplifying
n = -9
Answer: in order to qualify, the time must be at least 15.93 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a random variable representing the average response times of fire departments to fire calls. Since it follows a normal distribution, we will determine the z score by applying the formula,
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = sample mean
µ = population mean
σ = population standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 12.8 minutes
σ = 3.7 minutes
in order to qualify for the special safety award, the probability value would be to the right of the z score corresponding to 80%
The z score corresponding to 80% on the normal distribution table is 0.845
Therefore,
0.845 = (x - 12.8)/3.7
0.845 × 3.7 = x - 12.8
3.13 = x - 12.8
x = 12.8 + 3.13 = 15.93
g - 3/7 = 2/7 is an equation.
