The time required to complete a project is normally distributed with a mean of 80 weeks and a standard deviation of 10 weeks. Th

e construction company must pay a penalty if the project is not finished by the due date in the contract. If a construction company bidding on this contract wishes to be 90 percent sure of finishing by the due date, what due date (project week #) should be negotiated?

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

A circle has a circumference of 50.2450.2450, point, 24 units.<br> What is the radius of the circle?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

r = 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is calculated using C = 2\pi r. Substitute C = 50.24 units. Solve for the radius.

C = 2 \pi r\\50.24 = 2 \pi r\\25.12 = \pi r\\8 = r

The function. In the graph is f(x) =
Tanya [424]

Answer:

x^3-2x^2-5x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of the function f(x).

Now we need to use that graph to find the equation of the graph and match with the correct choice from the give choices:

x^4-2x^2+5x+6

x^3-2x^2-5x+6

x^3-2x^2+5x+6

-x^4-2x^2+5x+6

We see that graph has end points in opposite direction then the degree of polynomial must be ODD.

Available degrees are 3 and 4. Degree 3 is odd so it is choice B or C.

Only x^3-2x^2-5x+6 satisfies the given points from graph.

Hence correct choice is x^3-2x^2-5x+6.

Ln(x+7)=3<br> This is part of a webquest any help would be nice.
Assoli18 [71]

ln(x−7)==4/3

To solve for x, rewrite the equation using properties of logarithms.

e^ln(x−7) =e^4/3

Solve for x

x=e^4/3 + 7

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

x= e^4/3+7

Decimal Form:

x=10.79366789
