solution:

we are consider the following function,

f(x)=3x+k,x\leq 3

=kx^{2}-6,x>3

\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-}(3x+k)=9+k

\lim_{x\rightarrow3^+}

(kx^{2}-6)=9k-6

so the left and right limits are equal.

therefore, the function is continuous at x=3

so,the therom of the function is continous at x=3

9k-6=9+k

8k=15

k=15/8

=1.875

therefore,the value of k=1.875

Your firm has a contract to make staff uniforms for a fast-food retailer. The heights of the staff are normally distributed with
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

a) 16%

b) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The mean is 70 with standard deviation(SD) of 3 and you are asked to find out the percentage of staff that have <67(70-3 inch= mean - 1 SD) inch size, which means 1 SD below the mean (<-1 SD). Using 68-95-99.7 rule, you can know that 68% of the population is inside 1 SD range from the mean ( -1 SD to + 1 SD).

To put it on another perspective, there are 32% of the population that have < -1 SD and > +1 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of < - 1 SD alone is 32%/2= 16%

b)

The question asks how many populations have size >76 inches, or mean + 2 SD (70+3*2 inch).

You can also solve this using 68-95-99.7 rule, but you take 95% value as the question asking for 2 SD instead.  Since 95% of population is inside 2 SD range from the mean ( -2 SD to + 2 SD), so there are 5% of population that have < -2 SD and > +2 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of > +2 SD alone is 5%/2= 2.5%

If 1116 parts were made in 7 hours how much parts were made an hour
vampirchik [111]
Hello! To solve this question, all you have to do is divide the total amount of parts made by the number of hours. 1116/7 is 159.42857 and other numbers, or 159 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There were about 159 parts made an hour.
