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

Given line segment AB, the coordinates of A are (3,-5) and the coordinates midpoint are (5,-1), what are the coordinates for B?
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>           B(7, 3)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P(5, -1) being the midpoint of AB means that  x_P-x_A=x_B-x_P

5-3=x_B-5\\\\2+5=x_B\\\\x_B=7

and   y_P-y_A=y_B-y_P

-1-(-5)=y_B-(-1)\\\\-1+5=y_B+1\\\\y_B=3
