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

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

48 + ∠B + 56 = 180

∠B  + 104 = 180

∠B = 180 - 104

∠B  = 76°

Which statements are true regarding the the price of the arrangements select three answers.
natulia [17]

Answer:

The first three statements are correct, the other two are wrong

Second to last problem: WRONG - Since the second to last problem is marked down by 40% we subtract 40% from 100% to get 60%. Now we just do 0.60*28 = 16.8 which makes the statement wrong.

Last problem: WRONG - The last one is marked down by 50% so that is 100% - 50% to get 50%. We do 0.50 * 28 to get 14, making the statement wrong.

The first 3 statements are correct, and the 2 last ones are wrong

- Hope this helped! :)

Brainiest is most appreciated:)

Given m||n, find the value of x and y.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

x = 18 , y = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle vertically opposite 4x - 7 is congruent to it and forms a same- side interior angle with 6x + 7.

Same- side interior angles sum to 180° , then

6x + 7 + 4x - 7 = 180 , that is

10x = 180  ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 18

Then

6x + 7 = 6(18) + 7 = 108 + 7 = 115

6x + 7 and 3y - 20 are vertically opposite angles and are congruent , so

3y - 20 = 115 ( add 20 to both sides )

3y = 135 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 45
