Answer:

20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that (1 job) = (rate)(time), so time = (1 job) / (rate).

Set up and solve the following equation:

  1 job

------------------------------- = time required for 2 pumps working together

1 job         1 job

---------- + -------------

4 days      10 days

This comes out to:

              1 job

------------------------------------------- = time required

10 job-days      4 job-days

------------------ + -----------------

   40 days           40 days

or:

    1 job

-------------------- = (40/14) days, or 20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

14 job·days

-----------------

   40 days

To make a box and whisker plot, first you write down all of the numbers from least to greatest.

0, 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10

The median is 4, so that’s the middle line of the plot.

So now we have:
0, 1, 3, [4,] 7, 8, 10

So next we have to find the 1st and 3rd interquartiles..
0, [1,] 3, [4,] 7, [8,] 10

Those are the next 2 points you put on the plot.

Lastly, the upper and lower extremes. These are the highest and lowest numbers in the data.
[0,] 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, [10]

These are the final points on the plot.

To make the box of a box-and-whisker plot, you plot the 3 Medians of the data: 1, 4, and 8, and connect those to make a box that has a line in the middle at 4.

Next, you plot the upper and lower extremes: 0 and 10, by making “whiskers” that connect to the box. So you draw a line from the extremes to the box.

Use the Empirical Rule to answer each question.
Oliga [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

the probability of parcels weighing 35oz or less is

0.841

the probability of parcels weighing 14oz or less is

0.023

the probability of parcels weighing between 14 and 35oz is the probabilty of 35oz minus the probability of 14oz

0.841 - 0.023 = 0.818

the percentage is the probability × 100 = 81.8%

(b)

the probability of parcels weighing more than 49oz is 1 minus the probability to weigh less than 49oz.

the probability to weigh less than 49oz is

0.99865

so, the probability to weigh more than 49oz is

1 - 0.99865 = 0.00135

the percentage is again probability×100 = 0.14%
