Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Brittany paints the room in x hours, completing 1/x of the room per hour.

Ashley paints the room in x+2 hours, completing 1/(x+2) of the room per hour.

Working together, they complete 1/x + 1/(x+2) = ⅐ of the room per hour.

7(x+2) + 7x = x(x+2)

14x + 15 = x^2 + 2x

x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0

x = [12 ±√(12²+60)]/2= 6±√51

6-√51 is an extraneous solution.

x = 6+√51 ≈ 13.14

Brittany paints the room in 12.14 hours

Answer:

hello your question lacks the required options but i will provide a general answer to your question

answer : The mean value  and the standard deviation would allow us use a Z-score

Step-by-step explanation:

mean value = 231 minutes

standard deviation ( std ) = 40 minutes

sample size = 40

The parameters that would be applicable while use Z-score are : The given mean value and the standard deviation

This is because the value of a z-score gives us an information on how far we are from the mean score i.e. number of standard deviations

+Zscore means that the score  is above the average value

-Zscore means that the score is below the average value
