Answer:

580

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's translate this word for word.

87 is 15% of what number

87 = 15% times x

87=.15 times x

87=.15 \cdot x

Divide both sides by .15

\frac{87}{.15}=\frac{.15x}{.15}

Cancel out the common factor of .15 on the right; that is .15/.15=1.

580=x

580 is the number

Answer:

580

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright. Translate that into math, and you get:

87=15/100x

multiply both sides by x

8700/15=x

x=8700/15

x=580

Check:

580*15/100

58*15/10

870/10

87

BINGO!

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

0.917915

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution is expressed as it follows

F (y,λ) = 1 – e ^(- λ(y) )

Where λ is equal to 1/ population mean

So λ = 1/2.8 = 0.357

Let y be the length of time a costumer wait on hold

Now, let´s find the value for y = 7 minutes, which is the proportion of costumer that wait on hold

P (y<7) = 1 – e^(- .357*(7) )

P (y<7) = 0.917915

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: 68°F

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the range for a set of numbers that are given, we subtract the lowest number from the biggest number. In this case, we subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature. This will be:

= 49°F - (-19°F)

= 49°F + 19°F

= 68°F
