Answer: the due date would be 92 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the time required to complete a project is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = number of weeks.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 80 weeks

σ = 10 weeks

If a construction company bidding on this contract wishes to be 90 percent sure of finishing by the due date, the z score corresponding to 90%(90/100 = 0.9) is 1.29

Therefore,

1.29 = (x - 80)/10

x - 80 = 1.2 × 10

x - 80 = 12

x = 80 + 12 = 92

Answer:

145

Step-by-step explanation:

angles in a pentagon add up to equal 540

Hence, 110 + 90 + 80 + 115 + v = 540

( note that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for v )

We now solve for v using the equation created

110 + 90 + 80 + 115 + v = 540

step 1 combine like terms

110 + 90 + 80 + 115 = 395

we now have 395 + v = 540

step 2 subtract 395 from each side

540 - 395 = 145

395 - 395 cancels out

we're left with v = 145

Answer:

D, 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you add up all the candies

you’ll get 79 pieces of candy

So 4 pieces of green candy

So we can just subtract 4 from 79 you’ll get 75 pieces

It still works becuase we know that 4 pieces gone are green so the other candies still have the same amount

Now there are 14 red pieces

So 14/75

Now simplify that and you’ll Get

0.18666666

Now round that, 0.19

Explain in words, how you to find a solution for the following equation. 7 + x = 18
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

x=11 (read below)

Step-by-step explanation:

7 + x = 18

<em>Subtract 7 from both sides</em>

x=11

It's quite simple because if you do something to one side of the equation, you need to do it to the other because otherwise the equation won't be equal. This is how you need to simplify most problems, by taking something from one side and taking from the other as well.
