She originally started with 23. 

We can tell this by working the equation backwards. Since she has 5 left and she had just given half to her brother, we know she had 10 a moment ago. 

Before that, Mary had eaten a cookie. So we add 1 to the total and now have 11.

Before eating that cookie, she has given half to her sister, which would give her 22. 

And before giving half to her sister, she had eaten the first one, which would give us 23 to start with.

Define geometric relationship​

For example, a connect relationship and a tangent relationship can be used where an arc meets a line. (make me brainliest)

Write an explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence whose common difference is -4.5
makvit [3.9K]
If the difference is always -4.5, then it is always -4.5 times something, so that it changes -4.5 ever 1 number.  This means that our equation is y=-4.5x.  From there, we can add any constant, as it will not change the difference.  I will leave that up to you to pick, so the equation is y=-4.5x+C, where C is any real number.

Hope this helps!

Suppose a call center receives 4000 calls on average during their Friday evening shift. Next Friday several people have put in f
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume is 0.2764

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

Here the total mean expected number of outcomes=u = 4000

The favorable  expected outcomes are = x= 22* 178= 3916

The  standard deviation= σ= 5

The random variable X =178 has normal distribution with mean 4000/22 and standard deviation 5

So z= x-u/σ

Z= (3916-4000)/22/5

z= -0.764

From the table of areas under normal curve

P (  x= 3916)=  P( -0.764 ≤ Z≤ 0)

P (  x= 3916)=  0.2764

The probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume is 0.2764
