The length of time that an auditor spends reviewing an invoice is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 600 seconds

Bumek [7]

Answer: 11.5%

Explanation:

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, we multiply 12 minutes by 60 so that 12 minutes = 720 seconds. Thus, we're looking for a probability that the auditor will spend more than 720 seconds.

Now, we get the z-score for 720 seconds by the following formula:

$\text{z-score} = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

where

$t = \text{time for the auditor to finish his work } = 720 \text{ seconds}
\\ \mu = \text{average time for the auditor to finish his work } = 600 \text{ seconds}
\\ \sigma = \text{standard deviation } = 100 \text{ seconds}$

So, the z-score of 720 seconds is given by:

$\text{z-score} = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}
\\
\\ \text{z-score} = \frac{720 - 600}{100}
\\
\\ \boxed{\text{z-score} = 1.2}$

Let

t = time for the auditor to finish his work
z = z-score of time t

Since the time is normally distributed, the probability for t > 720 is the same as the probability for z > 1.2. In terms of equation:

$P(t \ \textgreater \ 720) 
\\ = P(z \ \textgreater \ 1.2)
\\ = 1 - P(z \leq 1.2)
\\ = 1 - 0.885
\\ \boxed{P(t \ \textgreater \ 720) = 0.115}$

Hence, there is 11.5% chance that the auditor will spend more than 12 minutes in an invoice.

A girl ran to the store at a speed of 6mph, and walked back at 4mp. If her round trip took 15 minutes, how far away is the store

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

0.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the store is x miles away, she walks to the store in a hours, and she walks back in b hours.

First, her total time = time walked there + time walked back = a + b = 15 minutes = 1/4 of an hour = 0.25 hours

a + b = 0.25 (because a and b are in hours)

distance = speed * time

x = 6 miles/hour * a hours = 6a miles

x = 4 miles/hour * b hours = 4b miles

If we can find a or b, we can find x.

4b = x = 6a

4b = 6a

a + b = 0.25

We now have two equations with two variables. Using substitution, we can solve for one of them

a + b = 0.25

subtract a from both sides to find b

0.25 - a = b

plug that into the other equation, 4b = 6a

4(0.25-a) = 6a

1 - 4a = 6a

add 4a to both sides to isolate a and its coefficient

1 = 10a

divide both sides by 10 to solve for s

a = 1/10 of an hour = 0.1 of an hour = 60 minutes / 10 = 6 minutes

6a = x

6(0.1) = x

0.6 = x

the store is 0.6 miles away

How many x-intercepts would the function shown below have? <br> F(x) =x^2 (x^2+9) (x^2-3) (5x+1) ^2

-BARSIC- [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. x intercepts are where y = 0

step 2. y = 0 when factors are equal to zero
