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

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 and passes through the point (-2, 1)
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

x + 2y = 4

2y = - x + 4

y = -x/2 + 4/2

y = - x/2 + 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes

1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c

c = 1 + 4 = 5

The equation becomes

y = 2x + 5

Please help! you have to find the surface area of the inage below!
viva [34]
Your answer would be 64 in².

To find the surface area, you just need to find the area of each of the shapes shown and add them together.
We can find the area of one of the triangles by doing:
(base × height)/2
(6 × 4)/2 = 24/2 = 12

As there are 4 identical triangles, the area of all of them would be 12 × 4 = 48 in².

Now we need to find the area of the square in the middle, which would be 4 × 4 = 16 in².

Adding these together gives us 16 + 48 = 64 in²

I hope this helps!

Create your own real-world example of a relation that is a function. Domain: The set of Range: The set of
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C(t)=5000 -10t

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many examples in the real world of relationships that are functions.

For example, imagine a tank full of water with a capacity of 5000 liters, this tank has a small hole, by which 10 liters of water are lost every hour.

If we call C the amount of water in the tank as a function of time, then we can write the following equation for C:

C(t)=C_{0}-at\\

Where:

C (t): Amount of water in the tank as a function of time

C_{0}: Initial amount of water in the tank at time t = 0

a: amount of water lost per hour

t: time in hours

Then the equation is:

C(t)=5000 -10t

The graph of C (t) is a line of negative slope. This relation is a function since for each value of t there is a single value of C.

Its domain is the set of all positive real numbers t between [0,500]

Because the time count starts at t = 0 when the tank is full and ends at t = 500 when empty

Its Range is the set of all positive real numbers C between [0,5000] Because the amount of water in the tank can never be less than zero or greater than 5000Litres
