A company has a policy of retiring company cars; this policy looks at number of miles driven, purpose of trips, style of car and

other features. The distribution of the number of months in service for the fleet of cars is bell-shaped and has a mean of 51 months and a standard deviation of 11 months. Using the Empirical Rule rule, what is the approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 73 and 84 months

Answer:

<em>The approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 73 and 84 months</em>

<em>P( 73 < x < 84 ) = 0.02145 = 2.1 %</em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Given mean of the Population 'μ ' = 51 months

Standard deviation of the Population 'σ' = 11 months

Let 'X' be the random variable of Normal distribution

<em>Let    'X'  = 73</em>

<em></em>Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{73-51}{11} = 2<em></em>

<em>Let  'X' = 84</em>

<em></em>Z = \frac{84-51}{11} = 3<em></em>

<em>The approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 73 and 84 months</em>

<em>P( 73 < x < 84 )      = P( 2 < Z < 3)</em>

<em>                               = P( Z<3) - P( Z <2)</em>

<em>                              =  0.5 + A(3) - ( 0.5 + A(2))</em>

<em>                             = A(3) - A( 2)</em>

<em>                             = 0.49865 - 0.4772     ( From Normal table)</em>

<em>                             = 0.02145</em>

<em>  P( 73 < x < 84 ) = 0.02145</em>

<em>The approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 73 and 84 months</em>

<em>P( 73 < x < 84 ) = 0.02145 = 2.1 %</em>

Klio2033 [76]
Answer: Refer to picture

Explanation: as the weeks go on, the number of sales increase. This means it has to be positively skewed, so graphs with the dots lower as it moves to the right can be knocked out

This leaves us with 2, since the rate of change in sales isn’t linear (22 -> 44 ->66) and is instead quicker at the start, it is not the straight graph, must be the curved one

san4es73 [151]
Length of train : 100
length of bridge : 400
distance covered by the train to cross the bridge : (100 + 400) = 500
time taken by the train to cross : 30

speed = distance / time
speed = 500/30
speed = 16.67 meters per second <===

What is the slope of the line that contains these points? xxx -4−4minus, 4 -3−3minus, 3 -2−2minus, 2 -1−1minus, 1 yyy 222 555 88
Charra [1.4K]

Given:

The table of values is

x        y

-4      2

-3      5

-2       8

-1       11

To find:

The slope of the line that contains these points.

Solution:

From the given table consider any two point.

Let the line passes through the points (-4,2) and (-3,5). So, the equation of the line is

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

y-2=\dfrac{5-2}{-3-(-4)}(x-(-4))

y-2=\dfrac{3}{-3+4}(x+4)

y-2=\dfrac{3}{1}(x+4)

Using distributive property, we get

y-2=3x+12

y=3x+12+2

y=3x+14

Therefore, the required equation of line is y=3x+14.
