Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

An hour and 25 minutes is 85 minutes. Using the given information we can find the distance d with the proportion ...

$\dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}=\dfrac{d}{85\text{ min}}=\dfrac{1\text{ mi}}{17\text{ min}}\\\\d=\dfrac{85\text{ min}}{17\text{ min}}(1\text{ mi)}\qquad\text{multiply by $85$ min}\\\\d=5(1\text{ mi})\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\d=\boxed{5\text{ mi}}$

In 1 hour and 25 minutes, Nick will travel 5 miles.

Answer:

41.92%

Step-by-step explanation:

In table attached standard normal distribution curve is shown.

Data

mean, µ = 4.3 minutes

standard deviation, σ = 0.5 minutes

desired point, x = 5 minutes

x-axis, Z = (x - µ)/σ

The probability that calls last between 4.3 and 5.0 minutes is equivalent to find the area below the curve between Z = 0 and Z = (5 - 4.3)/0.5 = 1.4, which is 0.4192, or 41.92%
