Answer:

25 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

135 miles to 5 gallons

Required

Determine the number of gallons for 675 miles

From the question, number of miles is directly proportional to number of gallons:

So, we have:

135\ miles = 5\ gallons

and

675\ miles = x

<em>Where x represents the number of gallons for 675 miles</em>

Cross Multiply:

135 * x = 675 * 5

135x = 3375

Make x the subject

x = 3375/135

x = 25

<em>Hence, the car needs 25 gallons</em>

Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.4 minutes. An operator in the call
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The expected total amount of time the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 210 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

n-values of normal variable:

Suppose we have n values from a normally distributed variable. The mean of the sum of all the instances is M = n\mu and the standard deviation is s = \sigma\sqrt{n}

Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.8 minutes.

This means that \mu = 2.8

75 calls each day.

This means that n = 75

What is the expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day

This is M, so:

M = n\mu = 75*2.8 = 210

The expected total amount of time the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 210 minutes.

The equation of liner is y = -x - 6. Line s includes the point (-1, -3) and is parallel to line
Reptile [31]

Answer:

90 hardcover books

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by setting up a couple of equations.

Let's allow x to represent the number of paperbacks Tim owns, and allow y to represent the number of hardcover books he owns.

Using the information in the question, we can write the equations:

1)x = 4y-3

2) x+y=447

Let's rearrange equation 1 so that it is in standard form:

x-4y=-3

And then let's multiply equation 2 by 4 so that we can cancel out y when we solve the system of equations:

4(x+y=447)

4x+4y=1,788

Then we can add the two equations and solve for x:

  1) x-4y=-3

+ 2)4x+4y=1,788

------------------------------------

5x=1,785

x=357

So now we now the number of paperback books Tim has is 357. Let's plug this into one of the original equations to solve for the number of hardcover books (y):

357+y=447

y=90

And now we know that Tim owns 90 hardcover books.
