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

Help with #7 please I don’t understand
quester [9]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x^2 + 3x - 4) (x + 4)


FOIL.


2x^2 times x = 2x^3

3x times x is 3x^2

-4 times x = -4x

2x^2 times 4 = 8x^2

3x times 4 = 12 x

-4 times 4 = -16


Combine like terms to get 2x^3 + 11x^2 + 8x - 16.

Polygon ABCD is a rectangle what is the area
Andre45 [30]

Solution:

As, You have Written Polygon ABCD is a rectangle.

It is a Four sided Polygon , having all it's interior angles equal to 90°.As well as Opposite sides are equal(AB=CD,AD=BC), equal diagonals(AC=B D).

Join any of the diagonal of Rectangle either AC or B D.

In Right Δ ABC , Right angled at B

{\text{Area (Right triangle ABC)}} =\frac{1}{2}\times AB \times BC---(1)

In Right  Δ ADC  , Right angled at D      

{\text{Area (Right triangle ABC)}} =\frac{1}{2}\times AD \times DC---(2)

Adding (1) and (2) that is LHS to LHS and RHS to RHS

Ar( Δ ABC) +Ar( Δ ADC)=\frac{1}{2}\times[ AB \times BC+ AD \times DC]\\\\=\frac{1}{2}[2 \times AB \times BC][\text{As, AB=CD, and BC=AD}]\\\\ = AB \times BC

So, Area of Rectangle= Product of any two Adjacent Sides

Find the missing side of the triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Alik [6]

Given:

In a right angle triangle, the measures of two legs are 5 ft and 5.6 ft. The measure of the hypotenuse is x.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

(x)^2=(5)^2+(5.6)^2

x^2=25+31.36

x^2=56.36

Taking square root on both sides, we get

x=\sqrt{56.36}

x=7.50733

x\approx 7.5

The measure of missing side is 7.5 ft. Therefore, the correct option is D.
