olice response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received by the dispatcher and the

time a patrol car radios that it has arrived at the scene. Over a long period of time, it has been determined that the police response time has a normal distribution with a mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes. For a randomly received emergency call, find the probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 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.

Mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes.

This means that \mu = 7.2, \sigma = 2.1

For a randomly received emergency call, find the probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 9 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.

X = 9

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{9 - 7.2}{2.1}

Z = 0.86

Z = 0.86 has a pvalue of 0.8051

X = 3

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3 - 7.2}{2.1}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.8051 - 0.0228 = 0.7823

0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

Answer:

\textsf{A)} \quad x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}

\textsf{B)} \quad \left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)

C)  See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

f(x)=2x^2-x-10

<h3><u>Part A</u></h3>

To factor a <u>quadratic</u> in the form  ax^2+bx+c<em> , </em>find two numbers that multiply to ac and sum to b :

\implies ac=2 \cdot -10=-20

\implies b=-1

Therefore, the two numbers are -5 and 4.

Rewrite b as the sum of these two numbers:

\implies f(x)=2x^2-5x+4x-10

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

\implies f(x)=x(2x-5)+2(2x-5)

Factor out the common term  (2x - 5):

\implies f(x)=(x+2)(2x-5)

The x-intercepts are when the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0:

\implies (x+2)(2x-5)=0

Therefore:

\implies (x+2)=0 \implies x=-2

\implies (2x-5)=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}

So the x-intercepts are:

x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}

<h3><u>Part B</u></h3>

The x-value of the vertex is:

\implies x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}

Therefore, the x-value of the vertex of the given function is:

\implies x=\dfrac{-(-1)}{2(2)}=\dfrac{1}{4}

To find the y-value of the vertex, substitute the found value of x into the function:

\implies f\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=2\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)-10=-\dfrac{81}{8}

Therefore, the vertex of the function is:

\left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)

<h3><u>Part C</u></h3>

Plot the x-intercepts found in Part A.

Plot the vertex found in Part B.

As the <u>leading coefficient</u> of the function is positive, the parabola will open upwards.  This is confirmed as the vertex is a minimum point.

The axis of symmetry is the <u>x-value</u> of the <u>vertex</u>.  Draw a line at x = ¹/₄ and use this to ensure the drawing of the parabola is <u>symmetrical</u>.

Draw a upwards opening parabola that has a minimum point at the vertex and that passes through the x-intercepts (see attachment).
