Answer:

A) A 9% downhill grade means that the decrease in elevation of the road over the segment is 9% of the change in Horizontal distance over the same segment. In other words, for every 100 horizontal feet the road descends 9 feet and the road has a slope of 0.09 vertical feet per horizontal foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Certain westbound U.S highway truck route near a river has a downhill grade of 9%

A) A 9% downhill grade means that the decrease in elevation of the road over the segment is 9% of the change in Horizontal distance over the same segment. In other words, for every 100 horizontal feet the road descends 9 feet and the road has a slope of 0.09 vertical feet per horizontal foot.

In other to make things clear, lets assume

for X = 1 , y = 9% = 0.09

for y =  9 , x = 9 / 0.09 = 100

slope = y/x = 0.09 / 1 = 0.09

The time required for an automotive center to complete an oil change service on an automobile approximately follows a normal​ di
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a) Therefore 92.64% of customers receive the service for​ half-price.

b) Therefore it would take 8.52 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ime required for an automotive center to complete an oil change service on an automobile approximately follows a normal​ distribution with:

mean (μ) = 15 minutes

Standard deviation (σ) = 3.5 minutes

a) The z score is given by the equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Since the service will take no longer than 20 minutes,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{20-15}{3.5} = 1.43

Using the probability table to get the probability of the z score

percent of customers receive the service for​ half-price = P(X < 20) = P(z < 1.43) = 0.9236 = 92.64%

Therefore 92.64% of customers receive the service for​ half-price.

b) Since the probability is 3% = 0.03, this corresponds with a z score of -1.88

Therefore:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{x-15}{3.5} =-1.88

\frac{x-15}{3.5} =-1.88

{x-15} =-6.58\\x=-6.58+15=8.52\\x=8.52 minutes

Therefore it would take 8.52 minutes
