Three friends entered a race around a track. Edward takes 6 minutes to run one lap. Bernie takes 3 minutes to run one lap and it

takes Freddie 5 minutes to run one lap. If all three friends begin the race at the same time, how many minutes will it take for all three friends to be at the starting point again?

Answer:

It will take 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the time it will take for the three friends to be at the starting point again

What we do here is to note the time it will take for each of the three friends to run a lap

That will be 6 , 3 and 5

What we now need to know the time is to find the lowest common multiple of the three amount of time

The lowest common multiple of 6,3 and 5 is 30

So the amount of time it will take the friends to be at the starting point again is 30 minutes

Xelga [282]

Answer:

81.85% of the workers spend between 50 and 110 commuting to work

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that the distribution is Normal (or approximately Normal) because we know that it is symmetric and mound-shaped.

We call X the time spend from one worker; X has distribution N(μ = 70, σ = 20). In order to make computations, we take W, the standarization of X, whose distribution is N(0,1)

W = \frac{X-μ}{σ} = \frac{X-70}{20}

The values of the cummulative distribution function of the standard normal, which we denote \phi , are tabulated. You can find those values in the attached file.

P(50 < X < 110) = P(\frac{50-70}{20} < \frac{X-70}{20} < \frac{110-70}{20}) = P(-1 < W < 2) = \\\phi(2) - \phi(-1)

Using the symmetry of the Normal density function, we have that \phi(-1) = 1-\phi(1) . Hece,

P(50 < X < 110) = \phi(2) - \phi(-1) = \phi(2) - (1-\phi(1)) = \phi(2) + \phi(1) - 1 =  \\0.9772+0.8413-1 = 0.8185

The probability for a worker to spend that time commuting is 0.8185. We conclude that 81.85% of the workers spend between 50 and 110 commuting to work.

Mel received notice that his monthly health care rate will increase 20% next year. If Mel currently pays $150 per month for heal
sveta [45]
It will increase by $30

We need to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Then we multiply by the $150.

150 x 0.20 = 30
