This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The owners of Spiffy Lube want to offer their customers a 10-minute guarantee on their standard oil change service. If the oil change takes longer than 10 minutes to complete, the customers is given a coupon for a free oil change at the next visit. Based on past history, the owners believe that the timer required to complete an oil change has a normal distribution with a mean of 8.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes.

Suppose management could improve the process by reducing the mean time required for an oil change (but keeping the standard deviation the same). How much change in the mean service time would be required to allow for a 10-minute guarantee that gives a coupon to no more than 1 out of every 25 customers on average

Answer:

Required change in the mean service time is 7.8988

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

How much change in the mean service time would be required to allow for a 10-minute guarantee that gives a coupon to no more than 1 out of every 25 customers on average

let mean = μ

p( x > 10 ) ≤ (1/25)

p( x > 10 ) ≤ 0.4

p( x-μ / 1.2  > 10-μ / 1.2 ) ≤ 0.4

(10-μ / 1.2 ) ≤ 0.4

(10-μ / 1.2 ) ≥ q_{norm} ( 0.96 )

(10-μ / 1.2 ≥ 1.751

10-μ  = ≥ 1.751 × 1.2

10-μ  ≤ 2.1012

μ ≤ 10 - 2.1012

μ ≤ 7.8988

Therefore, required change in the mean service time is 7.8988

What is an equation of the line in slope intercept form? M=2/3 and y intercept is (0,-3)
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

y= (2/3)x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

M is equal to the slope in y=mx+b form. And the y intercept is equal to (0, -3), therefore the b part of the formula is -3.

The price of a certain computer stock t days after it is issued for sale is p(t)=100+20t−6t^2 dollars. The price of the stock in
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0 < t < \frac{5}{3}

After 1.67 days the stocks would be sold out.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a certain computer stock after t days is modeled by

p(t) = 100 + 20t - 6t²

Now we will take the derivative of the given function and equate it to zero to find the critical points,

p'(t) = 20 - 12t = 0

t = \frac{20}{12}

t = \frac{5}{3} days

Therefore, there are two intervals in which the given function is defined

(0, \frac{5}{3}) and (\frac{5}{3}, ∞)

For the interval (0, \frac{5}{3}),

p'(1) = 20 - 12(1) = 20

For the interval (\frac{5}{3}, ∞),

p'(2) = 20 - 12(2) = -4

Positive value of p'(t) in the interval (0, \frac{5}{3}) indicates that the function is increasing.

0 < t < \frac{5}{3}

Since at the point t = 1.67 days curve is showing the maximum, so the stocks should be sold after 1.67 days.
