So first you would have to add 10 and 1/8 and 3 and 5/8 which is 4 and 3/4 then add 2 and 7/8 to 4 and 3/4 which is 7 and 5/8 so 7 5/8 is the answer.
3/4 and 3/8 have to have equal denominators, so multiply 3/4 by 2/2 because it's equal to one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction, but it makes the denominator (the number on the bottom) bigger.
3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8
Now subtract.
6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8
Don't subtract the denominators.
3/8 can't be simplified.
The technology I used in helping me solve the problem is using Microsoft Excel. I made one column for the x values which were gathered from the choices, one column for f(x) whose equation is 8^(x-9), and another column for g(x) whose equation is log(3x) + 2.
Inputing these equation to the last two columns yield the values shown in the picture.The 'NUM' means that the equation at that value of x is undefined. From the values, the correct solution would be
(0,0), (9.2,1.5) and (9.6,3.5) to the f(x) equation
(9.6,3.5) to the g(x) equation
The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes for the bus to get to school is 20 minutes (with a standard deviation of 4 minutes). The distributions are normal.
a. How long will it take (in minutes), on average, to get to school?
b. What is the standard deviation of the trip to school?
c. What is the probability that it will take longer than 30 minutes to get to school?
Due to a miscalculation, you realize it actually takes an average of 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop.
d. How long will it take (in minutes), on average, to get to school?
e. What is the standard deviation of the trip to school?
f. What is the probability that it will take longer than 30 minutes to get to school?
The only ones I need help with is C and F. I have the answer for the rest of them. Can someone please help me with parts C and F??
Answer:
There are 1716 ways the three positions can be filled by these applicants.
Step-by-step explanation:
Permutation is the number of arrangement of <em>k</em> items from <em>n</em> distinct items.

For example, permutation can be used to compute the number of ways to arrange 4 mathematics books together when arranging all the 7 books on a shelf.
In this case there are 3 available nursing positions to be filled.
A total of 13 candidates are qualified for all the three positions.
Then the number of ways the 3 positions can be filled by the 13 candidates can be determine using permutation.
Compute the possible number of selections as follows:

Thus, there are 1716 ways the three positions can be filled by these applicants.
