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.

If a 2-kg block compresses a spring 800mm from its relaxed state, how much potential energy does the block have due to the sprin
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

8 Joule

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of block = 2 kg

Displacement = x = 800 mm = 0.8 m

Spring constant = k = 25 N/m

Potential Energy of a spring

Work done = Difference in Potential Energy

Work Done = Δ P.E.

\Rightarrow \Delta\ P.E.=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

⇒P.E. = 0.5×25×0.8²

⇒P.E. = 8 Nm = 8 Joule

Here already the spring constant and displacement is given so the mass will not be used while calculating the potential energy.

Find three positive consecutive integers such that the product of the second integer and the third integer is 72
Anastaziya [24]
Let
x---------> first  positive integer
x+1------> second positive integer
x+2-----> third positive integer

we know that
(x+1)*(x+2)=72-------> x² +2x+x+2=72 -------> x² +3x-70=0

using a graph tool-------> <span>I solve the quadratic equation
</span>see the attached figure

the roots are
x1=-10
x2=7

the answer is
first  positive integer is x=7
second positive integer is x+1=8
third positive integer is x+2=9
