Answer:
The percentage of people should be seen by the doctor between 13 and
17 minutes is 68% ⇒ 2nd term
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- Wait times at a doctor's office are typically 15 minutes, with a standard
deviation of 2 minutes
- We want to find the percentage of people should be seen by the
doctor between 13 and 17 minutes
* To find the percentage we will find z-score
∵ The rule the z-score is z = (x - μ)/σ , where
# x is the score
# μ is the mean
# σ is the standard deviation
∵ The mean is 15 minutes and standard deviation is 2 minutes
∴ μ = 15 , σ = 2
∵ The people should be seen by the doctor between 13 and
17 minutes
∵ x = 13 and 17
∴ z = 
∴ z = 
- Lets use the standard normal distribution table
∵ P(z > -1) = 0.15866
∵ P(z < 1) = 0.84134
∴ P(-1 < z < 1) = 0.84134 - 0.15866 = 0.68268 ≅ 0.68
∵ P(13 < x < 17) = P(-1 < z < 1)
∴ P(13 < x < 17) = 0.68 × 100% = 68%
* The percentage of people should be seen by the doctor between
13 and 17 minutes is 68%

Answer:
- x ≤ 4
- x > 10
- x ≤ -7
Step-by-step explanation:
We're guessing you want to solve for x in each case. You do this in basically the same way you would solve an equation.
1. 3x +2 ≤ 14
3x ≤ 12 . . . . . subtract 2
x ≤ 4 . . . . . . . divide by 3
__
2. -5 +2x > 15
2x > 20 . . . . . . add 5
x > 10 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
__
3. -2x +4 ≥ 18
4 ≥ 18 +2x . . . . . add 2x
-14 ≥ 2x . . . . . . . subtract 18
-7 ≥ x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

<em>Additional comment</em>
The statement above that the same methods for solving apply to both equations and inequalities has an exception. The exception is that some operations reverse the order of numbers, so make the inequality symbol reverse. The usual operations we're concerned with are <em>multiplication and division by a negative number</em>: -2 < -1; 2 > 1, for example. There are other such operations, but they tend to be used more rarely for inequalities.
You will note that we avoided division by -2 in the solution of the third inequality by adding 2x to both sides, effectively giving the variable term a positive coefficient. You will notice that also changes its relation to the inequality symbol, just as if we had left the term where it was and reversed the symbol: -2x ≥ 14 ⇔ -14 ≥ 2x ⇔ x ≤ -7 ⇔ -7 ≥ x
