Explain how you can use the rules you know for multiplying positive and negative integers to multiply positive and negative frac

love history [14]

Answer:

Whether the answer is positive or negative depends on the number of positive and negative values in the question. The rules are exactly the same as to whether an answer is positive or negative. In the case of fractions, the rules for multiplying fractions apply as well (the numerators in the expression multiply to produce the product's numerator; the denominators in the expression multiply to produce the product's denominator) and the answer should be reduced to lowest terms.

If there is an odd number of negative terms, the answer will be negative.

If there is an even number of negative terms, the answer will be positive.

Answer:

a) 0.7683 = 76.83% probability that a randomly selected emergency call is between 5 and 10 minutes.

b) 0.0606 = 6.06% probability that a randomly received emergency call is of less than 5 min.

c) 0.1711 = 17.11% probability that a randomly received emergency call is of more than 10 min.

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.

Mean of 8.1 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.0 minutes.

This means that $\mu = 8.1, \sigma = 2$
