Diane's Tree Trimming Service has trimmed hundreds of trees in the Greater Denver area. The time it takes to trim a tree is norm

ally distributed with a mean of 32 minutes and a standard deviation of 5 minutes (Use this distribution to answer the next several questions). What percent of trees get trimmed between 28.5 and 31.5 minutes? Group of answer choices 21.82% 75.80% 70.22% 29.78%

Answer:P(28.5And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.7

And in order to find these probabilities we use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

P(-0.7

So then the best answer would be 21.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the time it takes to trim a tree of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(32,5)  

Where \mu=32 and \sigma=5

We are interested on this probability

P(28.5

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:P(28.5And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.7

And in order to find these probabilities we use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

P(-0.7

 So then the best answer would be 21.82 %

If g (x) = 1/x then [g (x+h) - g (x)] /h
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

\dfrac{-1}{x(x+h)}, h\ne 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If g(x) = \dfrac{1}{x}, then g(x+h) = \dfrac{1}{x+h}. It follows that

  \begin{aligned} \\\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} &= \frac{1}{h} \cdot [g(x+h) - g(x)] \\&= \frac{1}{h} \left( \frac{1}{x+h} - \frac{1}{x} \right)\end{aligned}

Technically we are done, but some more simplification can be made. We can get a common denominator between 1/(x+h) and 1/x.

  \begin{aligned} \\\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} &= \frac{1}{h} \left( \frac{1}{x+h} - \frac{1}{x} \right)\\&=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{x}{x(x+h)} - \frac{x+h}{x(x+h)} \right) \\ &=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{x-(x+h)}{x(x+h)}\right) \\ &=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{x-x-h}{x(x+h)}\right) \\ &=\frac{1}{h} \left(\frac{-h}{x(x+h)}\right) \end{aligned}

Now we can cancel the h in the numerator and denominator under the assumption that h is not 0.

  = \dfrac{-1}{x(x+h)}, h\ne 0

katelyn has taken 4 math quizzes. Her scores were 75,80,97, and 92. What must she get on her next quiz to have an average of at
Vilka [71]
To find the average add all the numbers together then divide by how many numbers there are.

75+80+97+92=344 divided by 4 = 86

So her average right now is 86.

She’d have to make 96 to get an average of 88.

75+80+97+92+96=440 divided by 5=88

The answer is 96
