Answer:

Option C \left|80-5x\right|\le 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the cost of the concert ticket

we know that

The total cost to be no more than $4 Above  $80

so

5x\leq 80+4

Solve for x

x\leq \$16.80

The total cost to be no more than $4  below $80

so

5x\geq 80-4

Solve for x

5x\geq 76

x\geq \$15.2

therefore

The inequality that represent this problem is

\left|5x-80\right|\le 4

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

<em>First solution (positive case</em>)

+(5x-80)\le 4

5x\le 80+4

Solve for x

x\leq \$16.80 ----> is ok

<em>Second solution (negative case)</em>

-(5x-80)\le 4

Multiply by -1 both sides

(5x-80)\ge -4

5x\geq 80-4

Solve for x

5x\geq 76

x\geq \$15.2 ---> is ok

Remember that

\left|5x-80\right|\le 4 is equivalent to \left|80-5x\right|\le 4

Because is a absolute value

When Hailey commutes to work, the amount of time it takes her to arrive is normally distributed with a mean of 21 minutes and a
miskamm [114]

Answer: 135 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of time it takes her to arrive is normally distributed, then according to the central limit theorem,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 21 minutes

σ = 3.5 minutes

the probability that her commute would be between 19 and 26 minutes is expressed as

P(19 ≤ x ≤ 26)

For (19 ≤ x),

z = (19 - 21)/3.5 = - 0.57

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.28

For (x ≤ 26),

z = (26 - 21)/3.5 = 1.43

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.92

Therefore,

P(19 ≤ x ≤ 26) = 0.92 - 28 = 0.64

The number of times that her commute would be between 19 and 26 minutes is

0.64 × 211 = 135 days

The mean percentage of a population of people eating out at least once a week is 57% with a standard deviation of 3.50%. Assume
Fed [463]
Since 68% of the sample ranges from the plus minus first standard deviation from the mean, then interval wherein it will occur will be between 53.5% to 60.5%. I got this answer through adding and subtracting one standard deviation (3.5) from the mean (which is 57).
