13. Marissa buys a prepaid cell phone card for $25. The charge for a phone call is $0.13 per minute, or part of a minute. Write

and solve an inequality to determine the greatest number of minutes that Marissa can talk. Which is the correct way to interpret your solution? * (1 Point) Marissa can talk for no less than 192 minutes, Marissa can talk for at most 192 minutes, Marissa can talk for fewer than 192 minutes, Marissa can talk above 192 minutes.

Answer:

The correct option is;

Marissa can talk for at most 192 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount for which Marissa buys the prepaid cell phone card = $25

The charge for a phone call using the recharge card = $0.13 per minute

The greatest number of minutes Marissa can call is given by the the following inequality;

t < $25/($0.13/minute)

$25/($0.13/minute) = (192 + 4/13) minutes

Therefore;

t < (192 + 4/13) minutes

The cost of 192 minutes = 192 minutes × $0.13 per minute = $24.96

The amount of credit left on the $25 recharge = $25 - $24.96 = $0.04

The minimum charge for calls = $0.13

The amount remaining after 192 minutes $0.04 is less than the amount to make a call $0.13

Therefore;

t ≤ 192 minutes

Therefore, Marissa can talk for at most 192 minutes.

I need help with this (Image Attached)

NemiM [27]

Answer:

55,98,27

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the angles we must first find y with this equation

3y+5+2y-7=153

We can simplify this

5y-2=153

153+2=155

155/5=31

y=31

We now know y and can plug it into the angles

<A=2y-7

2(31)-7

62-7

55

<A=55

<B=3y+5

3(31)+5

93+5

98

<B=98

Now time for the last angle

Since angle BCA and DCB are next to each other they add up to 180

153+x=180

180-153=27

x=27

<BCA=27

Service calls arriving at an electric company follow a Poisson distribution with an average arrival rate of 5656 per hour. Find

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The average number of service calls in a 15-minute period is of 14, with a standard deviation of 3.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval. The variance is the same as the mean.

Average rate of 56 calls per hour:

This means that $\mu = 56n$ , in which n is the number of hours.

Find the average and standard deviation of the number of service calls in a 15-minute period.

15 minute is one fourth of a hour, which means that $n = \frac{1}{4}$ . So

$\mu = 56n = \frac{56}{4} = 14$

The variance is also 14, which means that the standard deviation is $\sqrt{14} = 3.74$

The average number of service calls in a 15-minute period is of 14, with a standard deviation of 3.74.
