Answer:

8x - 5y = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 8x - 5y = 2 into this form

Subtract 8x from both sides

- 5y = - 8x + 2 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x - $\frac{2}{5}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{8}{5}$

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (- 5, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 8 = 6

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x + 6 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 5

5y = 8x + 30 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

0 = 8x - 5y + 30 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

8x - 5y = - 30 ← in standard form

Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.4 minutes. An operator in the call

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The expected total amount of time the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 210 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

n-values of normal variable:

Suppose we have n values from a normally distributed variable. The mean of the sum of all the instances is $M = n\mu$ and the standard deviation is $s = \sigma\sqrt{n}$

Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.8 minutes.

This means that $\mu = 2.8$

75 calls each day.

This means that $n = 75$

What is the expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day

This is M, so:

$M = n\mu = 75*2.8 = 210$

The expected total amount of time the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 210 minutes.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST !!!<br> find the indicated value for each of the figures shown or described

timama [110]

Answer:

10. 9

In the first question we can solve using the Pythagorean theorem. It states that the hypotenuse in a right triangle or the longest side of the triangle, squared is equal to the other 2 sides, squared. Its expressed as so: C^2 = A^2 + b^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other sides oft eh triangle.

Therefore,

15^2 = 12^2+x^2

225=144+x^2

81=x^2

x=9

__________________________________________________________

11. x=12

In this figure, there are 2 right triangles on the sides of the square. If we can find the lengths of the base of both triangles then we can find x using the Pythagorean theorem. the total base is 21 and the square is 11. 11+a+b=21. We can assume that both triangles are congruent and therefore we can solve this equation:

11+a+b=21

a+b=10

5+5=10

b=5

a=5

The bases of the two triangles are 5 and the hypotenuse is 13. Now we can solve using the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2+b^2

13^2=5^2+x^2

169=25+x^2

144=x^2

144= 12 x 12

x=12

__________________________________________________________

12.

The diagnol of a triangle is the hypotenuse and since the length is the square root of 3, we have all the information we need.

c^2 = a^2+b^2

2^2 = (square root of 3)^2+b^2

4=3+b^2

1=b^2

b=1
