Answer:

214.5 seconds or less time will qualify individuals for such training

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the time that it takes a randomly selected job applicant to perform a certain task has a distribution that can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean value of 150 sec and a standard deviation of 25 sec.

i.e. X the time that it takes a randomly selected job applicant to perform a certain task is N(150,25)

The fastest 10% are the ones who are above the 90th percentile

We know 90th percentile for Z std normal score is 1.28

Corresponding X score would be

x=\mu+1.28 \sigma\\X= 150+1.28(25)\\= 214.50

Round off to one decimal

214.5 seconds or less time will qualify individuals for such training

Finding the inverse function for f(x)=1/x^2
Anna [14]

to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".

\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{x^2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x=\cfrac{1}{y^2}}\implies y^2=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies y=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{x}}\implies \stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=4x−10 and passes through (1, 13) ?
klasskru [66]
If a line is parallel to another line,Then the gradients are the same.So m=4 .Using general formula for str8 line, y=mx+c
y = 4x + c
sub in coorfinates (1,13)
13  = 4 + c
So C=9.
y = 4x + 9
