Hint:  \bf \cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}+\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{(x+8)^2}{49}+\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{16}=1\iff \cfrac{(x+8)^2}{7^2}+\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{4^2}=1

"a" is the major component, "b" is the minor, the vertical axis is b+b

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is 0.3729.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is 0.1271.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is 0.1109.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is 0.745.

(e) The time is 5.65 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean length of time per call was 4.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.70 minutes.

Let X = <u><em>the length of the calls, in minutes.</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=4.5,\sigma^{2} =0.70^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                           Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean time = 4.5 minutes

           \sigma = standard deviation = 0.7 minutes

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is given by = P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = P(X < 5.30 min) - P(X \leq 4.50 min)

    P(X < 5.30 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z < 1.14) = 0.8729

    P(X \leq 4.50 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{4.5-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z \leq 0) = 0.50

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 and x = 0 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729 and 0.50 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.8729 - 0.50 = <u>0.3729</u>.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is given by = P(X > 5.30 minutes)

    P(X > 5.30 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z > 1.14) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.14)

                                                              = 1 - 0.8729 = <u>0.1271</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(5.30 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X \leq 5.30 min)

    P(X < 6.00 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{6-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

    P(X \leq 5.30 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z \leq 1.14) = 0.8729

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.8729 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.8729 = <u>0.1109</u>.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(4.00 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X \leq 4.00 min)

    P(X < 6.00 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{6-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

    P(X \leq 4.00 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{4.0-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z \leq -0.71) = 1 - P(Z < 0.71)

                                                              = 1 - 0.7612 = 0.2388

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 0.71 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.7612 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.2388 = <u>0.745</u>.

(e) We have to find the time that represents the length of the longest (in duration) 5 percent of the calls, that means;

            P(X > x) = 0.05            {where x is the required time}

            P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{x-4.5}{0.7} ) = 0.05

            P(Z > \frac{x-4.5}{0.7} ) = 0.05

Now, in the z table the critical value of x which represents the top 5% of the area is given as 1.645, that is;

                      \frac{x-4.5}{0.7}=1.645

                      {x-4.5}{}=1.645 \times 0.7

                       x = 4.5 + 1.15 = 5.65 minutes.

SO, the time is 5.65 minutes.

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the expression -7- (-11)?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

B. Start at -7 on the number line and move 11 to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • - 7 - (-11) expression

We can add or remove only positive numbers on the number line to get it  correct, so we need to open the parenthesis. When evaluated we get:

-7- (-11) = - 7 + 11 = 4

<u>Correct interpretation of of this expression is:</u>

  • Start at -7 and add 11, thus move 11 points to the right, to get 4 as final point.

<u>Correct choice is:</u>

  • B. Start at -7 on the number line and move 11 to the right.
