8 0

Please, do not post more than 1 or 2 questions at a time. Out of courtesy I will address one of your six questions here:

2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1

You are to solve this for x.

1) perform the multiplication: 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
2) combine like terms: 4+6-1 = x
3) solve for x: x = 11
4) check: Is 2(11) + 4 = 3(11-2) + 1 true?
Is 22+4 = 33-6 true? NO. Try again, looking for the mistake:

2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1 => 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
4 = x - 5
9 = x

Check: Is 2(9) + 4 = 3(9-2) + 1 true? Is 18+4 = 22 true? YES.
The solution to #1 is x = 9 (answer).

Submit your other questions separately, please.

Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean 60 and standard deviation 16. Compute the probability P(X &

elixir [45]

Answer:

P(X < 80) = 0.89435.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

$\mu = 60, \sigma = 16$

P(X < 80)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 80. So

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

$Z = \frac{80 - 60}{16}$

$Z = 1.25$

$Z = 1.25$ has a pvalue of 0.89435.

P(X < 80) = 0.89435.

Reliable taxis : for 30 miles
C = 1.5x....x = 30
C = 1.5(30)
C = 45

speedy taxis : for 30 miles
C = 1.1x + 11.5....x = 30
C = 1.1(30) + 11.5
C = 33 + 11.5
C = 44.5

city taxis : for 30 miles
C = 1.25x + 8...x = 30
C = 1.25(30) + 8
C = 37.5 + 8
C = 45.5
