Answer:

b) falls between 18.4 and 31.6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems involving normally distributed samples can be tackled using the z-score formula.

In any set with a mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score for a measurement X is calculated as follows:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score indicates how many standard deviations an observation diverges from the mean. After determining the Z-score, consulting the z-score table provides the associated p-value. This p-value represents the likelihood of observing a measure less than X, i.e., the percentile of X. Subtracting the p-value from 1 yields the probability of observing a measure greater than X.

In this question, we find that:

\mu = 25, \sigma = 4

To cover the Middle 90%

The lower limit is determined as the value of X when Z corresponds to a p-value of 0.5 - 0.9/2 = 0.05.

The upper limit corresponds to the value of X when Z has a p-value of 0.5 + 0.9/2 = 0.95.

Lower limit:

X when Z = -1.645Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.645 = \frac{X - 25}{4}

X - 25 = -1.645*4

X = 18.42

Upper limit:

X when Z = 1.645

1.645 = \frac{X - 25}{4}

X - 25 = 1.645*4

X = 31.58

Thus, the correct assessment is:

b) between 18.4 and 31.6 minutes.

Peter is at a lumber yard. He gets 2 free boxes of nails for every 10 boards he buys. Write an expression for the number of boxe
AnnZ [12381]
A. The quantity of 10-boards that Peter purchases is equal to n divided by 10. Consequently, each of the 10-boxes will receive two boxes of nails. After purchasing n boards, the formula for the number of boxes of nails Peter will have will be,

N = (2)(n/10)

When simplified,

N = n/5

b. If the total number of boards is 90, then,

N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
N2 = 1800

Final Answer: 1800

Tom started an entertainment company. The net value of the company (in thousands of dollars) ttt months after its creation is mo
zzz [12365]
Step-by-step explanation: The entertainment company’s net value after t months can be expressed by the equation; v(t) = 4t² - 24t - 28. To factor this expression, we need to simplify the equation: v(t) = 4t² - 24t - 28, dividing everything by 4 yields: v(t) = t² - 6t - 7, v(t) = t² - 7t + t - 7, v(t) = t(t-7) + 1(t-7), v(t) = (t+1)(t-7). Thus, the function in factored form is v(t) = (t+1)(t-7). To find when the company hits its lowest value, substitute v(t) = 0 into the factored expression: v(t) = (t+1)(t-7). Setting equal to zero provides: (t+1)(t-7) = 0, leading to t + 1 = 0 and t - 7 = 0; thus, t = -1 and t = 7. Since time cannot be negative, therefore, t equals 7 months. This indicates that after 7 months, the company will reach its minimal net value.

How does the graph of mc024-1.jpg compare to the graph of the parent function mc024-2.jpg?
babunello [11817]
The question is as follows:
<span>In what ways does the graph of g(x)=1/x-5+2 differ from the graph of the parent function f(x)=1/x?
</span>
=================================================
Solution:
========
The given function ⇒ g(x) = \frac{1}{x-5} +2

The parent function of the provided function ⇒ f(x)= \frac{1}{x}

After graphing both equations, as illustrated in the attached image.
It can be concluded that
<span>g(x) is translated 5 units to the right and 2 units upwards from f(x).
</span>

Thus, the correct answer is option 2
