A professor's son, having made the wise decision to drop out of college, has been finding his way in life taking one job or anot

her, leaving when his creativity is overly stifled or the employer tires of his creativity. The professor dutifully logs the duration of his son's last few careers and has determined that the average duration is normally distributed with a mean of eighty-eight weeks and a standard deviation of twenty weeks. The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for more than one year?

Answer:

0.9641 or 96.41%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean career duration (μ) = 88 weeks

Standard deviation (σ) = 20

The z-score for any given career duration 'X' is defined as:  

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  

In this problem, we want to know what is the probability that the professor's son's next career lasts more than a year. Assuming that a year has 52 weeks, the equivalent z-score for a 1-year career is:

z=\frac{52-88}{20}\\z=-1.8\\

According to a z-score table, a z-score of -1.8 is at the 3.59-th percentile, therefore, the likelihood that this career lasts more than a year is given by:

P(X>52) = 1-0.0359\\P(X>52) = 0.9641\ or\ 96.41\%

Answer:

1 \dfrac{13}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

2 \dfrac{1}{5} - \dfrac{1}{3} =

= \dfrac{11}{5} - \dfrac{1}{3}

= \dfrac{33}{15} - \dfrac{5}{15}

= \dfrac{28}{15}

Charlotte has been saving up to buy a home gym so she can work out at home without having to pay for a
Y_Kistochka [10]

The 15% discount for home gym, and the $889 cost of the Flex 3,000 gives;

1. f(x) = 0.85•x + 139.95

2.

  1. With the deal, Charlotte's before tax cost is $895.6
  2. The deal cost is more than the initial price making the deal not worth it.

3. The domain is; 889 < x < ∞

The range is; 895.6 ≤ f(x) ‹ ∞

<h3>How can the function notation for the cost be found?</h3>

1. The percentage discount Charlotte gets = 15% = 0.15

Cost of the 6 months subscription = $139.95

f(x) = Final before tax

x = Price of the home gym equipment

Therefore;

Given the 15% off, we get;

f(x) = (1-0.15)•x + 139.95

Which gives;

  • f(x) = 0.85•x + 139.95

2. Question 1

Cost of the Flex3000, <em>x</em> = $889

Therefore;

f(889) = 0.85 × 889 + 139.95 = 895.6

Charlotte's before–tax cost with the deal is therefore, $895.6

Given that the workout channel holds no value to Charlotte, and the deal cost is higher than the initial cost, it isn't worth it for her to pay for the subscription to get the 15% discount

3. The domain if the Awesome Flex is the cheapest option, is the possible initial price of the home gym equipment.

The domain is therefore;

  • 889 < x < ∞

The range is the possible values of the before tax cost.

The range is therefore;

  • 895.6 ≤ f(x) ‹ ∞
