we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y=kx
where
k is the constant of proportionality
Verify each table
table a
Let
x ----> distance
y ----> sound level
For each ordered pair calculate the value of k
k=y/x
so
(5,85) -----> k=85/5=17
(10,79) ----> k=79/10=7.9
the values of k are differents
that means
the table nor represent a proportional relationship
table b
let
x ----> volume
y ----> cost
k=y/x
(16,1.49) ----> k=1.49/16=0.093125
(20,1.59) ----> k=1.59/20=0.0795
the values of k are differents
that means
the table nor represent a proportional relationship
Subtract 2_5/8 minus 1_1/3:
First, get the fractions to have a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together: 8*3 = 24
Rewrite both fractions with this new denominator:
5/8 needs to be multiplied by 3 on top and bottom to make it have a denominator of 24:
5/8 * 3/3 = 15/24
1/3 needs to be multiplied by 8 on top and bottom to make it have a denominator of 24:
1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24
Now that the fractions have been rewritten with the same denominator, subtract the mixed numbers:
2_15/24 - 1_8/24
Whole numbers:
2 - 1 = 1
Fractions:
15/24 - 8/24 = 7/24.

Answer:
p(on schedule) ≈ 0.7755
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable probability calculator can show you this answer.
_____
The z-values corresponding to the build time limits are ...
z = (37.5 -45)/6.75 ≈ -1.1111
z = (54 -45)/6.75 ≈ 1.3333
You can look these up in a suitable CDF table and find the difference between the values you find. That will be about ...
0.90879 -0.13326 = 0.77553
The probability assembly will stay on schedule is about 78%.
