Answer:

0.0475 = 4.75% probability that a randomly selected complaint takes more than 15 minutes to be settled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes

This means that \mu = 10, \sigma = 3

Find the probability that a randomly selected complaint takes more than 15 minutes to be settled.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 15, so:

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

Z = \frac{15 - 10}{3}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a p-value of 0.9525.

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475.

0.0475 = 4.75% probability that a randomly selected complaint takes more than 15 minutes to be settled.

Triangle ABC was dilated by 50%. What is the relationship between AC and A'C'?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:      

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

A'C' ----> the length of segment A'C'

AC ----> the length of segment AC

so

z=\frac{A'C'}{AC}                        

we have that

z=50\%=50/100=\frac{1}{2} ---> the dilation is a reduction, because the scale factor is less than 1 and greater than zero

substitute

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{A'C'}{AC}                

AC=2A'C'

therefore

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'

Which of the following graphs represents the solution set for 7(4x – 1 ) + 6x > –279? PLEASE HELP
Luda [366]
First, solve the inequality:
7(4x - 1 ) + 6x \ \textgreater \  -279\\
28x-7+6x\ \textgreater \ -279\\
34x\ \textgreater \ -272\\
x\ \textgreater \ -8
Since x is <u>greater than</u> -8, you have the arrow point up the graph towards the positive side starting at -8.
Since it's greater than but not equal to -8, the circle is open.

Thus your graph is D.

The surface area for a rectangular prism with a square base is SA=2s2+4sh.
torisob [31]
We know that
[surface area for a rectangular prism with a square base ]=2*s²+4*s*h

2*s²----> Is the surface area of the bases
4*s*h---> is the lateral area
s=2 units
h=4 units

[surface area for a rectangular prism with a square base ]=2*2²+4*2*4
surface area=8+32----> 40 units²

the answer is
40 units²
