The expected completion time is μ = 40 weeks.
The random variable, X = 38 weeks (the probable time)

If the standard deviation is σ, then the z-score is z = (x - μ)/σ.

Let us test the given standard deviations.
When σ=1,
z = (38-40)/1 = -2
From standard tables,
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-2) = 0.0228 =2.3%

When σ=2,
z = (38*40)/2 = -1
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-1) = 0.1587 = 15.9%

When σ=4,
z = (38-40)/4 = -0.5
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-0.5) = 0.3085 = 30.9%

Answers:
z=1 => 2.3%
z=2 => 16% (approx)
z=4 => 31% (approx)

Hi, I need help with this question. Here is the question: For which data set is the median greater than the mean?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Set 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the median of each set (the median being the number in the middle):

(1) { 4,7,10,13,16} = 10

(2) {8,9,10,18,19} = 10

(3) {8,9,10,11,12} = 10

(4) {1,2,10,11, 12} = 10

Then find the mean of each set (the mean being average of all the numbers, to find the average add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers):

(1) { 4,7,10,13,16} = 10

(2) {8,9,10,18,19} = 12.8

(3) {8,9,10,11,12} = 10

(4) {1,2,10,11, 12} = 7.2

the answer being 12.8 since 12.8 is greater than 10

Steps?

A graph shows zeros to be ±3. Factoring those out leaves the quadratic
  (x-2)² +1
which has complex roots 2±i.

The function has roots -3, 3, 2-i, 2+i.

What are the dimensions of the largest 30-60-90 triangle that will fit inside a 45-45-90 triangle with leg length 14in.? Sketch
SSSSS [86.1K]
The dimensions would be 7√2, 7√6 and 14√2.

A 45-45-90 triangle has two equal legs and a hypotenuse that is equal to the leg multiplied by the square root of two (t, t, t√2).

A 30-60-90 triangle has legs that are equal to t, t√3, and 2t.  

The longest side on the 45-45-90 triangle will be 14√2.  This will also be the longest side of the 30-60-90 triangle; this gives us

2t = 14√2

Dividing both sides by 2, we have
2t/2 = 14√2/2
t = 7√2

We now have t and 2t; we lack t√3:

t = 7√2
t√3 = 7√2(√3) = 7√6.
