At a certain time of day, a 5 foot tall man has an 8 foot shadow. If a tree is 20 feet tall, what is the distance between the tr

Leto [7]

If they're asking the distance between the tree and the man's shadow, that would be 12ft and if they're asking the distance between the tree and the actually man, that would be 15ft :).

. An individual wishes to invest $5000 over the next year in two types of investment: Investment A yields 5%, and investment B y

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The amount invested at Investment A must be greater than or equal to $2,750

The amount invested at Investment B must be less than or equal to $2,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the amount invested at Investment A yields 5%

y -----> the amount invested at Investment B yields 8%

we know that

$x+y=5,000$

$x=5,000-y$ -----> equation A

$x \geq 0.25(5,000)$

$x \geq \$1,250$ -----> inequality B

$y \leq 0.50(5,000)$

$y \leq \$2,250$ -----> inequality C

$x \geq \frac{1}{2}y$ -----> inequality D

Substitute equation A in the inequality D and solve for y

$5,000-y \geq \frac{1}{2}y$

Multiply by 2 both sides

$10,000-2y \geq y$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$-10,000+2y \leq -y$

Adds y both sides

$-10,000+2y+y \leq 0$

$-10,000+3y \leq 0$

adds 10,000 both sides

$3y \leq 10,000$

Divide by 3 both sides

$y \leq \$3,333.33$ -----> inequality E

therefore

<em>Solve for y</em>

we have

$y \leq \$2,250$ -----> inequality C

$y \leq \$3,333.33$ -----> inequality E

The solution of inequality C and inequality E is

$y \leq \$2,250$

For y=2,250

x=5,000-y ----> x=5,000-2,250=2,750

so

$x \geq \$2,750$ -----> inequality F

<em>Solve for x</em>

we have

$x \geq \$1,250$ -----> inequality B

$x \geq \$2,750$ -----> inequality F

The solution of inequality B and inequality F is

$x \geq \$2,750$

therefore

The amount invested at Investment A must be greater than or equal to $2,750

The amount invested at Investment B must be less than or equal to $2,250

Suppose you want to eat lunch at a popular restaurant. The restaurant does not take reservations, so there is usually a waiting

grin007 [14]

Answer:

a) $z_1 =\frac{20-19}{4} =0.25$

$z_2 =\frac{15-19}{4} =-1$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(z>0.25)=1-P(z$

$P(z>-1)=1-P(z$

And replacing we got:

$P(X >20| X>15)= \frac{0.401}{0.841}= 0.477$

b) $z_1 =\frac{20-19}{4} =0.25$

$z_2 =\frac{18-19}{4} =-0.25$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(z>0.25)=1-P(z$

$P(z>-0.25)=1-P(z$

And replacing we got:

$P(X >20| X>18)= \frac{0.401}{0.599}= 0.669$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the length of time waiting to be seated of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(19,4.0)$
