Answer:

The latest 2.5% of bills will be received in 20 more days after mail-out.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 31 days

Standard Deviation, σ = 6 days

We are given that the distribution of The number of days (X) is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(X \leq x) = 0.025

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.025

P(X \leq x) = 0.025

P( X \leq x) = P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 31}{6})=0.025  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P( z \leq -1.960) = 0.025

\displaystyle\frac{x - 31}{6} = -1.960\\x = 19.24 \approx 20  

Hence, the latest 2.5% of bills will be received in 20 more days after mail-out.

Find three solutions for y=-2x-1
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(1, -3)

(2, -5)

(3, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Randomly choose three values for "x". Substitute each of them separately into the formula to find the "y". Then write the solution as an ordered pair (x, y).

I will choose x=1, x=2 and x=3.

When x=1:

y = -2x - 1

y = -2(1) - 1

y = -2 - 1

y = -3

(1, -3)

When x=2:

y = -2x - 1

y = -2(2) - 1

y = -4 - 1

y = -5

(2 , -5)

When x=3:

y = -2x - 1

y = -2(3) - 1

y = -6 - 1

y = -7

(3, -7)

Which method would i use to solve ax^2+c=d? justify your answer.
san4es73 [151]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = ±√((d -c)/a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual "solve for ..." approach works fine in this case.

  ax^2 +c = d

  ax^2 = d - c . . . . . subtract c

  x^2 = (d -c)/a . . . . divide by a

  x = ±√((d -c)/a) . . . take the square root

_____

When there are numbers, a graphical solution could work. It depends on whether an exact or approximate solution is required.

_____

<em>Comment on "solve for ..."</em>

When solving an equation for a specific variable, it is worthwhile to consider the Order of Operations. Look at what has been done to the variable, then undo those operations in reverse order. Here, the variable has been squared, the product multiplied by 'a', that product added to c. So, the "undo" consists of subtracting 'c', dividing by 'a', and taking the square root.

I thought of a number my number doubled is 20 greater than 200 what is my number
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Let the number be x.

x doubled is 2x, and 2x is 20 greater than 200. So, we have this:

2x = 200 + 20

2x = 220

x = 110.
