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.

Kylie is comparing the cost of two housekeeping companies, DoItRight and CleanIt. The table describes the costs for DoItRight.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

<u>First, find the cost function of DoItRight Housekeeping:</u>

  • Slope(m) = cost per hour = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{44-26}{3-1.5}=\frac{18}{1.5}=12

<em>The y-intercept(b), representing the initial cost, can be calculated by substituting in values to the function:</em>

f(x)=12x+b\\26=12(1.5)+b\\b=26-18=8

<u>Therefore, the function for two companies are:</u>

  • The function for DoItRight is f(x)=12x+8
  • The function for CleanIt is g(x)=10x+16

When comparing the two functions, it's shown how CleanIt has a greater y-intercept than DoltRight, meaning that CleanIt has a greater initial cost than DotRight. The y-intercept is when the graph intercepts the y-axis, therefore, the coordinates there would be (0, y-value), which, in this case for CleanIt company, will be (0, 16). While CleanIt has a greater y-intercept(initial cost), DoItRight has a greater slope, meaning they cost more per hour.
