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 ball is thrown upward from the top of a 40 foot high building at a speed of 80 feet per second. The ball's height above
tekilochka [14]

it takes 5 seconds to reach a height of 40 ft. and It takes 2.5 seconds to reach maximum height.

Let h(t) represent the height of the ball at time t.

Given that the height is given by:

h(t) = -16t² + 80t + 40

1) For the ball to reach a height 0f 40 ft, h(t) = 40, hence:

40 = -16t² + 80t + 40

16t² - 80t = 0

t(t - 5) = 0

t = 0 or t = 5

Hence it takes 5 seconds to reach a height of 40 ft.

2) The maximum height is at h'(t) = 0,

h'(t) = -32t + 80

-32t + 80 = 0

32t = 80

t = 2.5

It takes 2.5 seconds to reach maximum height.
