Answer:

(a) less than 10 minutes

= 0.5

(b) between 5 and 10 minutes

= 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using z score formula. We given a random number of samples, z score formula :

z-score is z = (x-μ)/ Standard error where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

Standard error : σ/√n

σ is the population standard deviation

n = number of samples

(a) less than 10 minutes

x = 10 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 10 - 10/2/√50

z = 0 / 0.2828427125

z = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z < 0) = P(x = 10)

= 0.5

Therefore, the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is less than 10 minutes = 0.5

(b) between 5 and 10 minutes

i) For 5 minutes

x = 5 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 5 - 10/2/√50

z = -5 / 0.2828427125

= -17.67767

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<5) = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z = -17.67767) = P(x = 5)

= 0

ii) For 10 minutes

x = 10 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 10 - 10/2/√50

z = 0 / 0.2828427125

z = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z < 0) = P(x = 10)

= 0.5

Hence, the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is between 5 and 10 minutes is

P(x = 10) - P(x = 5)

= 0.5 - 0

= 0.5

What is equivalent to<br>x2+ 14x = -13​
postnew [5]

Answer:

X= 1 AND 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+14x = -13

by completing the square method

you add the square of half the coefficient of b to both sides

which is (14/2)^2

x^2+14x+(7^2) = -13 +(7^2)

x^2 + 7^2 = -13 + 49

x^2 + 7^2 = 36

(x + 7)^2 = 36

find the square root of both sides

(x+7) = + or - 6

x=7-6 ; 1

or

x= 7+6 ; 13

What is number 20 simplified?
guapka [62]

Answer:

  2

----------

5w^11


Step-by-step explanation:

8/20 reduces to 2/5, and (w^(-2)) / w^9 becomes 1 / w^11.

Overall, #20 reduces to:

  2

----------

5w^11


Recall the rule of exponents:

  w^a

----------- = w^(a-b)

  w^b


and note that

 w^(-2)

------------ = w^(-2-9)  =  w^(-11) (same as above)

  w^9

Find the lateral surface area of a
balandron [24]

Answer:

15.1 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh

(where r is the radius and h is the height)

Given:

  • r = 1.2 mm
  • h = 2 mm

Substitute given values into the formula:

⇒ Lateral surface area = 2π(1.2)(2)

                                      = 4.8π

                                      = 15.1 mm²  (nearest tenth)
