Answer:

Longer than 27.7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

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

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 25, \sigma = 4

The slowest quarter of customers will require longer than how many minutes (to the nearest tenth) for a simple haircut?

Longer than the 100 - 25 = 75th percentile of times, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675. So

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

0.675 = \frac{X - 25}{4}

X - 25 = 4*0.675

X = 27.7

So

Longer than 27.7 minutes.

kvv77 [185]

Answer: Independent event

Step-by-step explanation:

When two events are independent of each other, this means that the probability that one event will occurs does not in any way affects the probability of the occurrence of the other event.

For example, card is picked at random from a deck of cards, and after putting it back,thne another card is picked at random. ​The probability of picking the cards is not affected by each other since it is put back.

What is 2378/2 into a mixed number
Volgvan
There no way that you can make this a mixed number unless you don't simplify all the way, which goes against the laws of math. I guess a fraction out of the answer would be 1189/1...

Snowcat [4.5K]
I am not sure what the question is here. I can tell you how to find the percent of kids that developed influenza in that class. We can compare it to the 20% of students nationwide. There could many different questions that stem from the piece of information you gave.

To find the percent of kids that developed influenza in that class do 6÷15 which gives you
.4 and written as a percent would be 40%.

Please message me if you have any questions! Hope this helps!
