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.

What k-1/3=5/6 equal ?
JulijaS [17]
The value of "K"

k -\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

MMC (3,6)
3,6 | 3
1,2 | 2
1,1 |__ 3*2 = 6

Solving:
k -\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}
\frac{6k}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}
cancel denominators (6)
6k - 2 = 5
6k = 5+2
6k = 7
\boxed{k =  \frac{7}{6} }

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

-28    +    -1    =    -29

     -14    +    -2    =    -16

     -7    +    -4    =    -11

     -4    +    -7    =    -11

     -2    +    -14    =    -16

     -1    +    -28    =    -29

     1    +    28    =    29

     2    +    14    =    16

     4    +    7    =    11

     7    +    4    =    11

     14    +    2    =    16

     28    +    1    =    29
