The Federal Government is stepping up efforts to reduce average response times of fire departments to fire calls. Nationwide, th

e distribution of average response times to fire calls follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.7 minutes. The fastest 20% of fire departments will be singled out for a special safety award. How fast must a fire department be in order to qualify for the special safety award

Answer: in order to qualify, the time must be at least 15.93 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the average response times of fire departments to fire calls. Since it follows a normal distribution, we will determine the z score by applying the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 12.8 minutes

σ = 3.7 minutes

in order to qualify for the special safety award, the probability value would be to the right of the z score corresponding to 80%

The z score corresponding to 80% on the normal distribution table is 0.845

Therefore,

0.845 = (x - 12.8)/3.7

0.845 × 3.7 = x - 12.8

3.13 = x - 12.8

x = 12.8 + 3.13 = 15.93

mart [117]

Answer:

7) Decay

8) Growth

9) Growth

10) Growth

Step-by-step explanation:

7) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is decreasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 1/3 gets smaller and smaller.

8) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is increasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 2 gets bigger and bigger.

9) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is increasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 2 gets bigger and bigger.

10) As <em>x </em>increases, <em>y </em>is increasing because as you add more value to the exponent, 2 gets bigger and bigger.
