Answer:

0.0104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the lifespans of crocodiles have an approximately Normal distribution, with a mean of 18 years and a standard deviation of 2.6 years.

So, mean, \mu=18

and standard deviation, \sigma=2.6

The z-score, for any arbitrary life span of  x year, is given by

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

By using the given values, we have

z=\frac{x-18}{2.6} \cdots(i)

The z-score for x=24, by using equation (i), is

z=\frac{24-18}{2.6}=\frac{6}{2.6}=2.31

From the table, the area to the left side of z=2.31 =0.98956

But, the proportion of crocodiles have lifespans of at least 24 years

= Area to the right side of the z=2.31

=1- (Area to the left side of the z=2.31)

=1-0.98956

=0.01044

So, the proportion of crocodiles that have lifespans of at least 24 years is 0.0104.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Margaret [11]

Answer: they can rent the room for less than 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the possible amounts of time in which they can rent the room.

There is a reservation fee of $47 and an additional hourly fee of $7.40. This means that the total cost of renting the room for x hours would be

47 + 7.4x

The math club wants to spend less than $91.40 on renting the room. This would be expressed as

47 + 7.4x < 91.4

7.4x < 91.4 - 47

7.4x < 44.4

x < 44.4/7.4

x < 6

Answer:

The hypothesis is:   "The last digit of n is zero."

The conclusion is:   "n is divisible by five."

The converse is:   "If n is divisible by five, the the last digit of n is zero."

The contrapositive is:   "If n is not divisble by five, then n does not end in zero."
