Answer:

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

ASSUMING NORMAL DISTRIBUTION, LESS THAN 10% AT LOWER END

OF 15.34 MEANS     [DENOTING MEAN BY M AND Standard Deviation. BY S]

M±AS=20%....................M-AS=15.34

FOR 20% LEVEL .......A=1.281........FROM TABLES

M-1.281×S=15.34............................1

SIMILARLY

M±BS=40%...................M+BS=16.31

FOR 40% LEVEL .............B=0.841...................FROM TABLES

M+0.841×S=16.31.............................2

EQN.2 - EQN.1

2.122×S=0.97

S=0.457=0.46

M=15.926= 15.93

HENCE, D IS THE ANSWER

that is D. μ = 15.93, σ =.46

How much it will take for a bag to travel 5 meters across the floor of it is traveling at 1 m/s
tester [92]
Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

The distance the bag will travel is 5 meters, and the speed it is traveling at is 1 m/s. Plug these into the formula for time.

\frac{5 m}{1 m/s} = 5 s
5/1 = 5 and the m (meters) cancel out, so you are left with s, seconds.

It will take the bag 5 seconds to travel across the floor.

neonofarm [45]
Let, the number be "x"
Now,
according to the question,
4x -8 = x -23....................This is your equation.

Now solving it,
4x - 8 = x - 23
4x - x = -23 + 8
3x = -15
x = -15 / 3
x = -5

Checking the answer,
4 (-5) - 8 = (-5) - 23
-20 - 8 = -5 - 23
-28 = -28......................................true
