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

How do you write 118% as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1    9/50

Step-by-step explanation:

So, /(100÷2) = 59/50 when reduced to the simplest form. As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 118/100 is also equal to 1 9/50 when expressed as a mixed number.

Jace purchases a new motorcycle for $8000. The bike depreciates 12% every year.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

We know that the original price of the bike was $8,000.

After one year, the price of the bike decays a 12%, then the new price of the bike is:

P(1) = $8,000*( 1 - 12%/100%) = $8,000*(1 - 0.12)

After another year, the price again decays a 12%, the new price will be:

P(2) = $8,000*(1 - 0.12)*(1 - 12%/100%) = $8,000*(1 - 0.12)*(1 - 0.12) = $8,000*(1 - 0.12)^2

We already can see the pattern here, after t years, the price of the bike will be:

P(t) = $8,000*(1 - 0.12)^t

With this equation, we can find the price of the bike after 5 years, where we only need to replace t by 5

We will get:

P(5) = $8,000*(1 - 0.12)^5 = $4,221.9

The price of the bike after 5 years is  $4,221.9.

Now we want two equations to represent this, so we need another.

This is kinda trivial, because there is only one equation that represents this, so we only can rewrite our equation in another form.

We could say that the price of the bike after t years is:

P(t) = $8,000*(0.88)^t

or something like:

P(t) = $7040*(0.88)^(t - 1)

Where i multiplied the initial value by 0.88, and then reduced the exponent by one.
