Police response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received by the dispatcher and th

e time a patrol car radios that it has arrived at the scene. Over a long period of time, it has been determined that the police response time has a normal distribution with a mean of 8.9 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.0 minutes. For a randomly received emergency call, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
a) between 5 and 10 min
b) less than 5 min
c) more than 10 min

Answer :

a) Pr(5<x<10) = 0.6832

b) Pr(x<5) = 0.0256

c) Pr(x>10) = 0.2912

Step-by-step explanation:

Police response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received and the time a patrol car radios it has arrived at the scene

Mean(u)= 8.9mins

Standard deviation (α) = 2.0mins

Let X be the random variable which is a measure of the time to get a response from the police.

We first solve for b and c

b) The response time less than 5 mins= Pr(X<5)

For normal distribution

Z= (X - u) / α

For X= 5

Z= (5 -8.9) / 2

Z= -3.9/2

Z= -1.95

From the normal distribution table, Z= -1.95 is 0.4744

Φ(z) = 0.4744

When Z is negative

Pr(X<a) = 0.5 - Φ(z)

Pr(X<5) = 0.5 - 0.4744

= 0.0256

c) The response time more than 10mins= Pr(X>10)

For normal distribution

Z= (X - u) / α

For X= 10

Z= (10 - 8.9) / 2

Z= 1.1/2

Z= 0.55

From the normal distribution table, Z= 0.55 is 0.2088

Φ(z) = 0.2088

When Z is positive

Pr(X>a) = 0.5 - Φ(z)

Pr(X>5) = 0.5 - 0.2088

= 0.2912

c) The response time between 5 and 10mins= Pr(5<X<10)

Pr(5<X<10) = 1 - Pr(X>10) - Pr(X<5)

= 1 - 0.2912 - 0.0256

= 1 - 0.3168

= 0.6832

Nolan and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $8 worth of apples
goldfiish [28.3K]

Nolan and his children bought fruits (Apples and bananas) worth $8.

Cost of each apple and bananas are $2 and $0.40 respectively.

Let the number of bananas he bought = y

And the number of apples = x

Therefore, cost of the apples =$2x

And the cost of bananas = $0.40y

Total cost of 'x' apples and 'y' bananas = $(2x + 0.40y)

Equation representing the total cost of fruits will be,

(2x + 0.40y) = 8

10(2x + 0.40y) = 10(8)

20x + 4y = 80

5x + y = 20 --------(1)

If he bought 5 times as many bananas as apples,

y = 5x ------(2)

Substitute the value of y from equation (2) to equation (1),

5x + 5x = 20

10x = 20

x = 2

Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (2)

y = 5(2)

y = 10

Therefore, Nolan bought 2 apples and 10 bananas.

Use braces and digits to designate the set of natural numbers.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

N = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,.....\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the sets of natural number

Represent this set with letter N

From definition of natural numbers, they are integer numbers starting from 1;

In other words: 1,2,3,4,5, and so on.

To represent this as a set of N, we have

N = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,.....\}

<em>The ..... means that the counting still continues</em>

The length of the box is 2x - 2 and the width is x - 5. Find the perimeter. (HINT: p= 2L + 2W) Choose one.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of the box = L = 2x-2

Width of the box = W = x-5

Perimeter is defined by the sum of length of all sides of the box.

Perimeter of the box = P = 2L + 2W

Perimeter of box = 2(2x-2) + 2(x-5)

Perimeter = 4x-4+2x-10

Perimeter = 6x-14

The perimeter of the box is 6x-14.

Hence,

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.
