The times required for a delivery firm to transport a package from one business address to another in the same metropolitan area

is normally distributed with a mean of 3.8 hours and a standard deviation of 0.8 hours. Suppose the delivery firm wants to determine the time by which 55% of all deliveries would be made. Which of the following density function diagrams best depicts this problem.
What is the probability a single delivery would take more than 4 hours? What is the z value corresponding to the interval boundary?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since; the density function diagrams were not included in the question; we will be unable to determine the  best which depicts this problem.

However;

Let use X to represent the time required for the delivery.

Then X~N(3.8 ,0.8)

i.e

E(x) = 3.8

s.d(x) = 0.8

NOW; P(x>4) = P(X-3.8/0.8 > 4-3.8/0.8)

= P(Z > 0.25)

= 1-P(Z < 0.25)

=1 - Φ (0.25)

= 1 - 0.5987  ( from Normal table  Φ (0.25) = 0.5987 )

= 0.4013

Thus;  the probability a single delivery would take more than 4 hours is 0.4013

What is the z value corresponding to the interval boundary?

The z value is calculated as:

z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}

z = \dfrac{4- 3.8}{0.8}

z = 0.25

What is S7 for 6 – 24 + 96 – 384 + ... ?
Dmitry [639]
6 - 34 + 96 - 384 +... 
a 1 = 6 , a 2 = a 1 * ( - 4 ) ,  a 3 = a 2 * ( - 4 ), a 4 = a 3 * ( - 4)...
a 5 = - 384 * ( - 4 ) = 1,536
a 6 = 1536 * ( - 4 ) = - 6,144
a 7 = - 6,144 * ( - 4 ) = 24,576 
This is a sum of a geometric sequence:
S 7 = 6 - 24 + 96 - 384 + 1,536 - 6,144 + 24,576 = 19,662
Another way to solve this:
S 7 = a 1 * ( r^n - 1) / ( r - 1 ) = 6 * (( - 4) ^7 - 1 )/ (- 4 - 1)=
= 6 * (-16,385) / (-5 ) = 19,662

Answer:

\frac{1}{2} (a + 2b)(a - b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require the expression to be factored

Given

\frac{1}{2} a² + \frac{1}{2} ab - b² ← factor out \frac{1}{2} from each term

= \frac{1}{2} (a² + ab - 2b²) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the coefficient of the b² term(- 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the ab- term (+ 1)

The factors are + 2 and - 1, since

2 × - 1 = - 2 and 2 - 1 = + 1, thus

a² + ab - 2b² = (a + 2b)(a - b) and

\frac{1}{2} a² + \frac{1}{2} ab - b² = \frac{1}{2}(a + 2b)(a - b)
