E) 12 minutes
A normal curve has approximately 95% of graph between mean - 2sd and mean + 2sd
So 95% of the times will be between 0 and 12 minutes. 6 - 2x3 to 6 + 2x3
2.5% will take over 12 minutes
Strangely 2.5% will also take less than 0 minutes to process which shows the normal curve is not perfect in this example.
Answer:
0.36427
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = λ = 18 messages per hour
P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λ⁻ˣ)/x!
P(X ≤ x) = Σ (e^-λ)(λ⁻ˣ)/x! (Summation From 0 to x)
But the probability required is that the messages thay come in an hour is between 15 and 20, that is, P(15 < X < 20)
P(15 < X < 20) = P(X < 20) - P(X ≤ 15)
These probabilities will be evaluated using a cumulative frequency calculator.
P(X < 20) = 0.65092
P(X ≤ 15) = poissoncdf(18, 15) = 0.28665
P(15 < X < 20) = P(X < 20) - P(X ≤ 15) = 0.65092 - 0.28665 = 0.36427.

Hey,
2x^2 + 3root5x + 5
Here the product=10
And,sum=3root5
=>2x^2+2root5x+root5x+5
=>2x(x+root5)+ root5(x+root5)
=>(2x+root5)(x+root 5)
He can count and there is 6.5 blocks between his house and the park
Multiply the first equation by -2. It turns into 4x+18y=50 and the other one stays -4x-9y=-23. Then you "eliminate" the equations by "adding" them. Set it up like this:
4x+18y=50
+
-4x-9y=-23
4x-4x= 0. 18y-9y= 9y and 50-23= 27
SO: 9y= 27 and y= 3
And then you plug that in to one equation: 4x +18(3)= 50. 4x= 50-(18*3)
4x= -4, so x=-1.
Plug it back in to check!
Hope this helps. Happy solving! :)
