Answer:d is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since its response time to fires is approximately normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = points scored by students

u = mean response time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 22 minutes

s = 11.9 minutes

We want to find the proportion of their response times that is over 30 minutes. It is expressed as

P(x > 30) = 1 - P(x ≤ 30)

For x = 30

z = (30 - 22)/11.9 = 0.67

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.7486

P(x > 30) = 1 - 0.7486 = 0.25

Answer:

Option C) 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 22 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 11.9 minutes

We are given that the distribution of  response time is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(response times is over 30 minutes)

P(x > 30)

P( x > 30) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{30 - 22}{11.9}) = P(z > 0.6722)

= 1 - P(z \leq 0.6722)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 30) = 1 - 0.749= 0.251 = 25.1\%

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) 0.25

Lesson 5: Lines and Triangles Geometry A Unit 4: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
aev [14]
The Triangle Sum Theorem states that the sum of the angles of a triangle equal 180°. 
Therefore,
45° + 62° + k = 180
   107°      + k = 180
                   k  = 73°
The value of k is 73°

Rewrite the function f(x)=4(x-2)²-8 in the form f(x)=ax²+bx+c.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

4x^{2}-16x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x - 2)(x - 2) - 8 = 4(x^{2} - 4x + 4) - 8 = 4x^{2} - 16x + 16 - 8 = 4x^{2} - 16x + 8.

What are the measures of Angles a, b, and c? Show your work and explain your answers.
andreev551 [17]
Answers: ∠a = 30° ; ∠b = 60° ; ∠c = 105<span>°.
</span>_____________________________________________
1) The measure of Angle a is 30°. (m∠a = 30°).
Proof:  All vertical angles are congruent, and we are shown in the diagram that angle A — AND the angle labeled with the measurement of 30°— are vertical angles. 

2) The measure of Angle b is 60°. (m∠b = 60<span>°).
Proof:  All three angles of a triangle add up to 90 degrees. In the diagram, we can examine the triangle formed by Angle A, Angle B, and a 90</span>° angle. This is a right triangle, and the angle with 90∠ degrees is indicated as such (with the "square" symbol).  So we know that one angle is 90°.  We also know that m∠a = 30°.  If there are three angles in a triangle, and all three angles must add up to 180°, and we know the measurements of two of the three angles, we can solve for the unknown measurement of the remaining angle, which in this case is: m∠b.  
 90° + 30° + m∠b = 180<span>° ;
</span>180° - (<span>90° + 30°) = m∠b ; 
</span>180° - (120°) = m∠b = 60<span>°
</span>___________________________
Now we need to solve for the measure of Angle c (<span>m∠c).
___________________________________________
All angles on a straight line (or straight "line segment") are called "supplementary angles" and  must add up to 180</span>°.  As shown, Angle c is on a "straight line".  The measurement of the remaining angle represented ("supplementary angle" to Angle c is 75° (shown on diagram).  As such, the measure of "Angle C" (m∠c) = m∠c = 180° - 75° = 105°.
