Answer:

0.04746

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this one needs to find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of 5 minutes when the mean is 4 minutes and the std. dev. is 0.6 minutes.  Either use a table of z-scores or a calculator with probability distribution functions.

In this case I will use my old Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator.  I select the normalcdf( function and type in the following arguments:  :

normalcdf(-100, 5, 4, 0.6).  The result is 0.952.  This is the area under the curve to the left of x = 5.  But we are interested in finding the probability that a conversation lasts longer than 5 minutes.  To find this, subtract 0.952 from 1.000:   0.048.  This is the area under the curve to the RIGHT of x = 5.

This 0.048 is closest to the first answer choice:  0.04746.

Alang went to the store to buy some walnuts. The price per pound of the walnuts is $7 per pound and he has a coupon for $2.50 of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$11.50 is the cost for 2 pounds of walnuts

Expression: 7p - 2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create an expression to represent the cost:

7p will represent the cost, since the walnuts are $7 per pound, and 2.50 needs to be subtracted from this because of the coupon for $2.50 off

So, the expression is 7p - 2.50

Use this expression to find the price for 2 pounds of walnuts:

7p - 2.50

7(2) - 2.50

14 - 2.50

= 11.50

So, the cost with the coupon will be $11.50

Shortcuts?:)<br> Find dy/dx<br> y=-3x^7
Lostsunrise [7]
Knowing the power rule:
dx*n*x^(n-1) all you'd need to do is bring the 7 down and multiply it by -3, then subtract 1 from 7. Because dx is 1 you don't need to worry about it (you'll use chain rule for that)
So your final answer should be dy/dx= -21x^6
