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

Glenda and Penny are doing
Volgvan

Answer:

It depends on how many inches they are from the finish line.

Step-by-step explanation:

However, they will be at the same distance at 90 inches when Glenda hops 5 times. 18 x 5 = 90. Penny will also make it to 90 inches when she hops 6 times. 15 x 6 = 90. Then, you will subtract 90 inches from how long the race is in inches.

Hope this helps!

We'll use the Pythagorean Theorem
130^2 = side^2 +50^2
side ^ 2 = 16,900 -2,500
side ^ 2 = 14,400
side = square root (14,400)
side = 120 feet
