Answer:

A customer who sends 78 messages per day would be at 99.38th percentile.

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.

Average of 48 texts per day with a standard deviation of 12.

This means that \mu = 48, \sigma = 12

a. A customer who sends 78 messages per day would correspond to what percentile?

The percentile is the p-value of Z when X = 78. So

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

Z = \frac{78 - 48}{12}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a p-value of 0.9938.

0.9938*100% = 99.38%.

A customer who sends 78 messages per day would be at 99.38th percentile.

The perimeter of a triangle is not greater than 12 and the lengths of sides are natural numbers.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

3 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of triangle = a + b + c

Given that :

P = 12

and a, b, c are natural numbers

Let :

Side A = a

Side B = b

Side C = 12 - (a + b)

Side A + side B > side C - - - (condition 1)

a + b > 12 - (a + b)

a + b > 12 - a - b

a + a + b + b > 12

2a + 2b > 12

2(a + b) > 12

a + b > 6

Side A - side B < side C

a - b < 12 - (a + b)

a - b + a + b < 12

2a < 12

a < 6

b < 6 (arbitrary point)

Going by the Constraint above :

The only three possibilities are :

(2, 5, 5)

(3, 4, 5)

(4, 4, 4)

Total number of triangle = 3

Equilateral triangle (all 3 sides equal) = (4, 4, 4) = 1

Isosceles triangle (only 2 sides equal) = (2, 5, 5) = 1

A meal costs $30 before tax and tip.
Korolek [52]

Answer:

33.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Points A, B, and C are collinear. Point B is between A and C. Find the length indicated. AB= 5x-15, BC=3x-5, and AC=28. Find AB
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: AB is 15

Step-by-step explanation: First, you need to draw a picture and label the parts of the line: AB=5x-15; BC= 3x-5; AC =28. Because of the segment addition postulate, you set the equation to be 5x-15+3x-5=28. Then you solve:

5x-15+3x-5=28

Add like terms:

8x-20=28

Add 20 to both sides

8x=48

Divide by 8

x=6

Now, you need to find the measure of AB, so you plug the 6 into the x variable for 5x-15

5(6)-15

30-15

AB=15
