Answer:

=0.1587 or 15.87%

So option A is correct answer so 15.87% of the invoices were paid within 15 days of receipt.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the percent of the invoices paid within 5 days of receipt we have to find the value of Z first.

Z=\frac{X-u}{S}

where:

X is the random varable which in our case is 15 days

u is the mean or average value which is 20 days

S is the standard deviation which is 5 days

Z=\frac{15-20}{5}

Z=-1.0

We have to find Probability at Z less than -1

P(Z<-1.0) which can be written as:

=1-P(Z>1.0)

From Cumulative distribution table:

=1-(0.3413+0.5)

=0.1587 or 15.87%

So option A is correct answer so 15.87% of the invoices were paid within 15 days of receipt.

<u>Question 1</u>

If we let FE=x, then DE=x-5.

Also, as \overline{DF} bisects \overline{BC}, this means BE=EC=6.

Thus, by the intersecting chords theorem,

6(6)=x(x-5)\\\\36=x^2 - 5x\\\\x^2 - 5x-36=0\\\\(x-9)(x+4)=0\\\\x=-4, 9

However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning FE=9

<u>Question 2</u>

If we let CE=x, then because AB bisects CD, CE=ED=x.

We also know that since FB=17, the radius of the circle is 17. So, this means that the diameter is 34, and as AE=2, thus means EB=32.

By the intersecting chords theorem,

2(32)=x^2\\\\64=x^2\\\\x=-8, 8

However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning CE=8
