The commuting time for a student to travel from home to a college campus is normally distributed with a mean of 30 minutes and a

standard deviation of 5 minutes. If the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., what is the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M.?

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the commuting time for the student. We know that X\sim N(30, (5)^2). Then, the normal probability density function for the random variable X is given by

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi(5)^{2}}}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2(5)^{2}}]. We are seeking the probability P(X>35) because the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., we want to know the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M. and between 8:25 A.M. and 9 A.M. there are 35 minutes of difference. So,

 

P(X>35) = \int\limits_{35}^{\infty}f(x)dx = 0.1587

To find this probability you can use either a table from a book or a programming language. We have used the R statistical programming language an the instruction pnorm(35, mean = 30, sd = 5, lower.tail = F)

\bf 8\frac{4}{9}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 9+4}{9}\implies \cfrac{76}{9}

3\frac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \cfrac{17}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{76}{9}-\cfrac{17}{5}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of 45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 76-9\cdot 17}{45}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{380-153}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}\implies \boxed{5\frac{2}{45}}
\\\\\\
5\frac{2}{45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 45+2}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}

angle works at AutoZone and makes $72 dollars a day and extra $8 for each platinum membership card he sells. angles goal is to m
GenaCL600 [577]

Angle needs to sell 16 membership cards.

First, I subtracted 72 from 200 and that gave me 128. Then, I divided 128 by 8 and got 16. To check my work I multiplied 16 by 8 and got 128. Then I added 72 to 128 and got 200.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a=11, b=53

Step-by-step explanation:

y=ax+b

x=1, y=64 -> 64=a+b

x=2, y=75 -> 75=2a+b

75-64=a, a=11, b=53

All the other points obey this rule.
