Answer:

(A) 0.0013

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 8, \sigma = 2.5

The probability that telephone call selected a random will last more than 15.5 min is most nearly

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 15.5.

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{15.5 - 8}{2.5}

Z = 3

Z = 3 has a pvalue of 0.9987

1 - 0.9987 = 0.0013

So the correct answer is:

(A) 0.0013

I need help with this math problem
mr Goodwill [35]

Let X = number of minutes.

Plan A = 50 + 0.04X

Plan B = 60 + 0.02X


50 + 0.04X = 60 + 0.02X

Subtract 50 from each side:

0.04X = 10 + 0.02X

Subtract 0.02X from each side:

0.02X = 10

Divide both sides by 0.02

X = 10 / 0.02

X = 500

It will take 500 minutes.

Solve by substitution or elimination<br> 4X – 3y = 7<br> 4x + y = 11
Simora [160]

Answer:

(5/2 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

4X – 3y = 7

4x + y = 11

———————

Multiply a -1 to the bottom equation to get the 4x as a negative so it cancels out.

4x - 3y = 7

-4x - y = -11

——————

-4y = -4

Divide by -4

y = 1

Substitute the value of y into one of the equations and solve

4x - 3(1) = 7

4x -3 = 7

4x = 10

Divide by 4

X = 10/4

Simplify by dividing by 2

x = 5/2

Therefore the answer is (5/2, 1 )
