From long experience, it is known that the time it takes to do an oil change and lubrication job on a vehicle has a normal distr

ibution with a mean of 17.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.2 minutes. An auto service shop will give a free lube and oil change service to any customer who must wait beyond the guaranteed time to complete the work. If the shop does not want to give more than 1% of its customers a free lube and oil change service, how long should the guarantee be

Answer: 29.916 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean of distribution = 17.8 minutes

Standard deviation of distribution = 5.2 minutes

Percentage of customers to give free lube and oil change service should not exceed 1% if the customer waits beyond the guaranteed time ;

Length of guarantee :

Since % of customers should not exceed 1%

Then probability of not being chosen = (1 - 0.01) = 0.99

Using the z table to find the Zscore of 0.99,

Zscore of 0.99 = 2.33

This is 2.33 standard deviations above the mean

(2.33 × standard deviation) + mean value

(2.33 × 5.2 minutes) + 17.8 minutes

12.116 + 17.8

= 29.916 minutes

How can the average rate of change be identified for a function?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Rateofchange=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are values in the interval [x,y] respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first to determine the average rate of change of a function, you should have the interval of the values of x for the function.

So lets assume you have a function;

f(x)=x^3-4x

And the interval as [1,3]

Then the average rate of change for the function f(x) will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}

where x₁ and x₂ are the interval coordinates x,y respectively. In this case x₁=1 and x₂=3

To find the average rate of change in this example will be;

=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} \\\\=f(x_2)=f(3)=3^3-4(3)=27-12=15\\\\=f(x_1)=f(1)=1^3-4(1)=1-4=-3\\\\\\=x_2-x_1=3-1=2\\\\\\=\frac{15--3}{2} \\\\=\frac{18}{2} =9

List the following parabolas from widest to narrowest (would like a fast answer)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater the magnitude of the leading coefficient, the narrower the parabola.

Widest: f(x) = 0.5x²

Next: f(x) = -x²

Next: f(x) = 2x²

Narrowest: 3x²
