The time spent waiting in the line is approximately normally distributed. The mean waiting time is 5 minutes and the standard deviation of the waiting time is 3 minutes. Find the probability that a person will wait for more than 1 minute. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

We were given the following details:

This is a normal distribution. Normal distributions are solved using the z-score

[tex]\begin{gathered} \mu=5min \\ \sigma=3min \end{gathered}[/tex]

The z-score for a value, X is calculated using the formula:

[tex]\begin{gathered} Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \\ The\text{ probability that a person will wait more than 1 minute implies that: }X=1 \\ Z=\frac{1-5}{3} \\ Z=-\frac{4}{3} \\ At\text{ Z =}-\frac{4}{3}\text{, pvalue =}0.091759 \\ The\text{ probability that a person waits more than 1 minute is given by:} \\ P=1-0.091759 \\ P=0.908241\approx0.9082 \\ P=0.9082\text{ or }90.82\text{\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]

As a town gets smaller, the population of its high school decreases 6% each year. The senior class has 320 students now. In how many years will the high school have 100 students?

Answers

From the details provided, we know that the population of the town gets smaller, that is, a decline and not a growth. The annual rate of decline (or decay) is 6% (or 0.06). The formula for this is given as shown below;

[tex]y=a(1-r)^x_{}[/tex]

The variables here are;

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\text{initial value} \\ r=\text{rate of decline} \\ x=\text{period (in years)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The equation to represent the decline of this town's student population shall be;

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=320(1-0.06)^n \\ Simplified,\text{ we now have;} \\ y=320(0.94)^n \end{gathered}[/tex]

When the population ofnthe town becomes 100, then we can replace variable y with 100. Since the formula is used to find the current population, and we have been given the population after a certain number of years, then our y is now 100.

We can now determine the number of years (variable n) that it takes before the population declines to 100 as shown below;

then our y is now 100.

A study found that 36% of the assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles resulted in pregnancies. Twenty-six percent of the ART pregnancies resulted in multiple births. (a) Find the probability that a random selected ART cycle resulted in a pregnancy and produced a multiple birth. (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected ART cycle that resulted in a pregnancy did not produce a multiple birth.(c) Would it be unusual for a randomly selected ART cycle to result in a pregnancy and produce a multiple birth?

Answers

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles:

pregnancies = 36%

pregnancies resulted in multiple births = 26%

Step 02:

a.

p (pregnancies) = 36% = 36/100 = 0.36

pregnancies resulted in multiple births = 26% = 26/100 = 0.26

p(pregnancies resulted in multiple births) = 0.36*0.26 = 0.0936

b.

p (pregnancy did not produce a multiple birth) = 1 - 0.0936 = 0.9064

c.

Indeed, the probability of multiple pregnancies is low 9.36%.

That is the full solution.

A decorator creates a scale drawing of a dinning room table. The length of the scale is 3 centimeters. The image represents the dimensions of the actual dinning room table. What is the area of the scale drawing?

Answers

From the image given, the dinning room table is a rectangle.

Given:

Length in inches = 90 inches

Width in inches = 45 inches

The scale of the length is 3 centimeters.

Now, let's find the scale of the table:

[tex]\frac{90}{3}=30\text{inches}[/tex]

This means that 30 inches represents 1 centimeter.

Also, let's find the width in centimeters:

[tex]\frac{45}{30}=1.5\operatorname{cm}[/tex]

Thus, we have:

Length of scale drawing = 3 cm

Width of scale = 1.5 cm

To find the Area of the scale drawing, use the area of a rectangle:

A = Length x Width

[tex]A=3\times1.5=4.5\operatorname{cm}^2[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the scale drwing is = 4.5 cm²

the remainder when f(x)is divided by x-3 is 15. Does f(-3) =15? explain why or why not

Answers

We will see that the function f(x) is:

f(x) = 15*(x - 3)

Evaluating it in x = -3 we can see that:

f(-3) =  -90

Is the statement true?

We know that when we divide f(x) by (x - 3), the quotient is 15. (that is the statement given in the question)

so we can write the equation:

f(x)/(x - 3) = 15

And we can solve this for f(x) as if it were a variable, then we get:

f(x) = 15*(x - 3)

Now, if we evaluate the function in x = -3 (this is replacing the variable x with the number -3), we will get:

f(-3) = 15*(-3 - 3) = 15*(-6) = -90

So the statement:

f(-3) = 15

Is false

∠6 and ∠5 are alternative interior angle thus the measure of angles ∠5 = 45° , ∠6 = 45° ,∠7 = 45° and ∠8 = 135°.

What is an angle?

An angle is a geometry in plane geometry that is created by 2 rays or lines that have an identical terminus.

The identical endpoint of the two rays—known as the vertex—is referenced as an angle's sides.

Angles 1,2,7 are the interior angles of a triangle and we know that the sum of all interior angles inside a triangle is 180°.

Therefore, ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠7 = 180°

Given, ∠1  = 70° and  ∠2  = 65°

∠7 = 180° - (70 + 65) = 45°

Now, ∠8 = 180 - ∠7 ⇒ ∠8 = 135°

Now, ∠7 = ∠6 (vertical opposite angle) so ∠6 = 45°

∠6 = ∠5 (alternative interior angle) so ∠5 = 45°

Hence "∠6 and ∠5 are alternative interior angle thus the measure of angles ∠5 = 45° , ∠6 = 45° ,∠7 = 45° and ∠8 = 135°".

What are the output values of f(-3), f(0) and f(2) in the given function?

A function is simply a relationship that maps one input to one output.

Given the data in the question;

f( x ) = 5x - 2f( -3 ) = ?f( 0  ) = ?f( 2 ) = ?

For f( - 3 );

To find the output value of f( -3 ), replace all the occurrence of x with -3 in the function and simplify.

f( x ) = 5x - 2

f( -3 ) = 5(-3) - 2

f( -3 ) = -15 - 2

f( -3 ) = -17

For f( 0 );

To find the output value of f( 0 ), replace all the occurrence of x with 0 in the function and simplify.

f( x ) = 5x - 2

f( 0 ) = 5(0) - 2

f( 0 ) = 0 - 2

f( 0 ) = -2

For f( 2 );

To find the output value of f( 2 ), replace all the occurrence of x with 2 in the function and simplify.

f( x ) = 5x - 2

f( 2 ) = 5(2) - 2

f( 2 ) = 10 - 2

f( 2 ) = 8

Therefore, the output value of f( 2 ) is 8, this forms an ordered pair of ( 2, 8 ).

She finds the following quotation from a credible source to include in her essay."Our economic health depends on healthy transportation arteries; and I believe the way to a more modern, economical choice of national transportation service is through increased competition and decreased regulation. Local mass transit, faring even worse, is as essential a community service as hospitals and highways. Nearly three-fourths of our citizens live in urban areas, which occupy only 2 percent of our landand if local transit is to survive and relieve the congestion of these cities, it needs Federal stimulation and assistance" (Kennedy, 1963).Which two statements demonstrate correct paraphrasing of the quotation? The economy is dependent on the health of our transportation system. This system is just as important of a community service as hospitals and highways. Most of our citizens live in urban areas, which occupy about 2 percent of our country. If these cities are to survive, they need Federal aid and assistance (Kennedy, 1963). The economic health of our country depends on a healthy transportation system and I propose that a way to have a more modern transportation service is to increase competition and remove regulations. Almost three-fourth of us live in cities and in order for local transit to survive, they will need our help (Kennedy, 1963). The health of our economy is dependent on the health of our national transportation arteries. More economical choices can be achieved through increased competition and decreased regulation. Three-fourths of our citizens live in cities and government aid is needed to help relieve the congestion in these areas (Kennedy, 1963). The current assessment of our economy reveals that there is a need for improvements to our transit system and the removal of regulatory restrictions placed upon this system. Public transportation is just as important as other public services, affects a majority of our citizens, and is in dire need of governmental aid (Kennedy, 1963). The success of our economy is directly connected to our transportation system. This success can only be obtained by providing more government-sponsored economic stimulation and reducing constraints, which will enable the majority of the population that live in cities to have effective public transportation (Kennedy, 1963).
