Answer:

99.7% of customers have to wait between 8 minutes to 30 minutes for their food.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean, μ = 18 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 4 minutes

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

Empirical Formula:

  • Almost all the data lies within three standard deviation from the mean for a normally distributed data.
  • About 68% of data lies within one standard deviation from the mean.
  • About 95% of data lies within two standard deviations of the mean.
  • About 99.7% of data lies within three standard deviation of the mean.

Thus, 99.7% of the customers have to wait:

\mu -3\sigma = 18-3(4) = 6\\\mu +3\sigma = 18+3(4) = 30

Thus, 99.7% of customers have to wait between 8 minutes to 30 minutes for their food.

<span>S.A. = s² + 4sh </span>

by derivating

again derivating

<span>v"(-20) = 30 </span>
<span>v"(20) = -(3/2)(20) </span>
<span>v"(20) = -30 </span>


<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 300(20) - (1/4)(20)^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 6000 - (1/4)(8000) </span>
<span>v = 6000 - 2000 
v=4000</span>

kow [346]

Answer:

d. An additional month of buying and selling is associated with an additional $417 in profits.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have general form of intercept form of equation:

y = m*x + c ----- (A)

Given equation is : y = 2502 + 417*x

Rewrite equation: y = 417*x + 2502 ------(B)

comparing equation (B) with equation (A), we get

m = 417 (additional benefits per month) because multiplied factor x is the month.
