Police response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received by the dispatcher and th

e time a patrol car radios that it has arrived at the scene. Over a long period of time, it has been determined that the police response time has a normal distribution with a mean of 8.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.9 minutes. For a randomly received emergency call, find the following probabilities. (a) the response time is between 5 and 10 minutes
(b) the response time is less than 5 minutes


(c) the response time is more than 10 minutes

Answer:

\mu = 8.8\\\sigma = 1.9

Now we are supposed to find probabilities that the response time is between 5 and 10 minutes i.e P(5<x<10)

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

at x = 5

z= \frac{5-8.8}{1.9}

z=-2

at x = 10

z= \frac{10-8.8}{1.9}

z=0.6315

P(-2<z<0.6315)=P(z<0.6315)-P(z<-2)

Refer the z table

P(-2<z<10)=0.7357-0.0228=0.7129

So, the probability that response time is between 5 and 10 minutes  is 0.7129

b)the response time is less than 5 minutes

at x = 5

z= \frac{5-8.8}{1.9}

z=-2

P(x<5)=P(z<-2)=0.0228

So, the probability that  the response time is less than 5 minutes is 0.0228

c)the response time is more than 10 minutes

at x = 10

z= \frac{10-8.8}{1.9}

z=0.6315

P(x>10) = 1-P(x<10) = 1-P(z<0.63) = 1-0.7357 = 0.2643

So, The probability that  the response time is more than 10 minutes is 0.2643

enot [183]

Answer:

y=4x+b (four being the slope)

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets use

ΔY/ΔX

or the y2-y1 over x2-x1

\frac{-8+4}{-3+2}

\frac{-4}{-1}

Therefore, the slope is 4

What value(s) of x will make each equation below true
Dahasolnce [82]

We need to solve for x. Let's try problem b:

2x-6=3x+1-x-7

Let us first combine line terms. 3x and -x as well as 1 and -7 can be combined. Let's do that:

2x-6=2x-6

Since this is true, your answer would be:

All real numbers

------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's solve for problem c:

3x+1=43

Let's isolate x, so subtract 1 from both sides:

3x=42

Since x can't have a coefficient, divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{42}{3}

x=14

So, only the value of 14 would make this equation true.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's try problem d:

4x-1=4x+7

Let's get our whole numbers on the right side. Add 1 to both sides:

4x=4x+8

Subtract 4x from the right side on both sides:

0=8

Since this is not true, your answer would be:

No solution
