Los Angeles workers have an average commute of 33 minutes. Suppose the LA commute time is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Let X represent the commute time for a randomly selected LA worker. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X N
b. Find the probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
c. Find the 80th percentile for the commute time of LA workers. _______ minutes
Answer:
a) N(33,15).
b) 37.33% probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
c) 45.6 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 33, \sigma = 15[/tex]
a. What is the distribution of X?
Normal with mean 33 and standard deviaton 15. So
N(33,15).
b. Find the probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 38. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{38 - 33}{15}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.333[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.333[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6267.
1 - 0.6267 = 0.3733
37.33% probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 38 minutes
c. Find the 80th percentile for the commute time of LA workers.
This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So it is X when Z = 0.84.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]0.84 = \frac{X - 33}{15}[/tex]
[tex]X - 33 = 0.84*15[/tex]
[tex]X = 45.6[/tex]
45.6 minutes.
Rebecca Pearson is a widow and needs to take care of the expenses in her household. Her budget is below.
Find her net monthly cash flow. (Assume 1 month = 4 weeks)
Income Expenses
Salary: $2300/month
Rent: $1090/month
Groceries: $200/week
Utilities: $125/month
Car Insurance: $525 semiannually
Gasoline: $25/week
Miscellaneous: $200/month
Phone: $50/month
Hey there!
First, let's take all of the expenses and change the ones that aren't monthly into monthly.
Groceries: $800/month
Car insurance: $87.5/month
Gasoline: $100/month
Now, let's add together all of our expenses
1090+800+125+87.5+100+200+50=2452.5
Now, we subtract that from her salary.
2300-2452.5=-152.5
Therefore, Rebecca's net monthly cash flow is -$152.5. She should spend a bit less on groceries, not do so much miscellaneous, find a place that charges less rent, drive less, etc. so she isn't spending more than she earns.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

First lets set 2 variables x and y
Lets make 2 equations.
x=3+2*y
Thats because it says 'x' is 3 more (+) than 2 times(*) 'y'
Now lets set second, we know both of them add up to 27.
x+y = 27
Since we know what x is equal to (look above equation)
We can replace it.
x is replaced with 3+2*y
3+2y+y = 27
3+4y = 27
Simplify 27-3 = 24
24/4 = 6
Now lets plug in for x
3+2*6 = 15
15 - x
6 - y

In △DEF, d = 25 in., e = 28 in., and f = 20 in. Find m∠F. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
∠F ≈ 43.9°
Step-by-step explanation:
The Law of Cosines is used to find an angle when all triangle sides are known.
f² = d² +e² -2de·cos(F)
cos(F) = (d² +e² -f²)/(2de) = (25² +28² -20²)/(2·25·28) = 1009/1400
F = arccos(1009/1400)
F ≈ 43.9°
Makeeya only has $25 to spend on a custom T-shirt. It costs $10 for a plain T-shirt, and there is a charge of $$1.50 for each square inch of design added to the T-shirt. Which solution represents the number of square inches of design,x , Makeeya can put on her T-shirt?
Answer:
10 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
cost of a plain t-shirt = $10
cost of 1 square inch of design addition = $1.50
let there be x square inches of design
then cost of x square inches of design = x*cost of 1 square inch of design
= 1.50*x = 1.5x
Total cost for t-shirt with x square inches of design = cost of a plain t-shirt + cost of x square inches of design = 10 + 1.5 x
It is given that Makeeya has only $25, then total cost which can be afforded by him will be $25 only
Thus,
10 + 1.5 x = 25
=> 1.5x = 25-10 = 15
=> x = 15/1.5 = 10
Thus, Makeeya can put 10 square inches of design on her T-shirt.

A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 7.8 reproductions and the population standard deviation is known to be 2.2. If a sample of 697 was used for the study, construct the 85% confidence interval for the true mean number of reproductions per hour for the bacteria. Round your answers to one decimal place.
Answer:
The 85% confidence interval is ( 7.7 , 8.0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the 85% confidence interval you use the following formula:
[tex]\overline{x}\pm Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
where
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex]: mean of number of bacteria reproduces per hour = 7.8
σ: standard deviation = 2.2
n: sample size = 967
α: 1 - 0.85 = 0.15
Zα/2: Z factor of the density distribution = 1.44
You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):
[tex]7.8\pm (1.44)\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{697}}\\\\7.8\pm0.119\\\\[/tex]
Then, the confidence interval is:
[tex](7.8-0.119,7.8+0.119)\\\\(7.7,8.0)[/tex]

A company studied the number of lost-time accidents occurring at its Brownsville, Texas, plant. Historical records show that 5% of the employees suffered lost-time accidents last year. Management believes that a special safety program will reduce such accidents to 4% during the current year. In addition, it estimates that 15% of employees who had lost-time accidents last year will experience a lost-time accident during the current year. a. What percentage of the employee will experience a lost-time accident in both years (to 1 decimal)?
Answer:
The percentage of the employee will experience a lost-time accident in both years is 0.0%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A denote events that employees suffered lost-time accidents during the last year
Let B denote events that employees suffered lost-time accidents during the current year
P(A) = 5% = 0.05
P(B) = 4% = 0.04
P(B | A) = 15% = 0.15
(a) P (A ∩ B) = P(B | A) × P(A)
= 0.15 × 0.05
= 0.0075
= 0.0 (1 decimal place)
The probability that an employee will experience a lost- time accident in both years is 0.0

B. Find the probability that the restaurant makes a profit that day, with the sample mean expense being
less than $8.95.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given question;
Given that:
Jan's All You Can Eat Restaurant charges $9.10 per customer to eat at the restaurant.
Distribution is skewed and and has a mean of $8.10 and a standard deviation of $4.
A. If the 100 customers on a day have the characteristics of the random sample from their customer base, find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of the restaurant's sample mean expense per customer.
the mean by using the central limit theorem is 8.10
the standard error of the sampling distribution = [tex]\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
the standard error of the sampling distribution = [tex]\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{100}}[/tex]
= 4/10
= 0.4
B.
P(X > $8.95) = P (Z > 8.95 - 8.10/0.4)
P(X > $8.95) = P (Z > 2.1)
P(X > $8.95) = 1 - P (Z < 2.1)
P(X > $8.95) = 1 - 0.9821
P(X > $8.95) = 0.0179

A large software company gives job applicants a test of programming ability and the mean for that test has been 160 in the past. Twenty-five job applicants are randomly selected from a large university and they produce a mean score of 183 with a standard deviation of 12. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test whether the mean score for students from this university is greater than 160. use the P-value method of testing hypotheses.
Answer:
[tex]t=\frac{183-160}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{25}}}=9.58[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=25-1=24[/tex]
And the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(24)}>9.58)\approx 0[/tex]
Since the p value is very low at any significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 160
Step-by-step explanation:
Information provided
[tex]\bar X=183[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]s=12[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation
[tex]n=25[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =160[/tex] represent the value to test
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to verify if the true mean is greater than 160, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 160[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 160[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]t=\frac{183-160}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{25}}}=9.58[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=25-1=24[/tex]
And the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(24)}>9.58)\approx 0[/tex]
Since the p value is very low at any significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 160

which rule represents the translation from the pre-image ABCD, to the image, a’b’c’d’
Answer:
Pre-image ABCD has been shifted 2 units right and 1 unit upwards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of the points A,B,C and D of the pre-image ABCD,
A(-4, 4), B(-1, 4), C(-5, 1), D(-2,1)
Coordinates of the points A', B', C' and D' of the image A'B'C'D'.
A'(-2, 5), B'(1, 5), C'(-3, 2), D'(0, 2)
Now we choose points A from the pre-image and A' from the image,
A(-4, 4) → A'(-2, 5)
Rule for the translation will be,
A(-4, 4) → A'(-4+2, 4+1)
Or A(x, y) → A'(x+2, y+1)
Therefore, pre-image ABCD has been shifted 2 units right and 1 unit upwards to form image A'B'C'D'.

You are situated 300 feet from the base of Tower Glitz Plaza watching an external elevator descend down the side of the building. At a certain instant the elevator is 500 feet away from you, and its distance from you is decreasing at a rate of 16 ft/sec. How fast is the elevator descending at that instant?
Answer:
18.66 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between you and the elevator is given by:
[tex]h=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]
The rate of change for the distance between you and the elevator is given by:
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{dh}{dy}*\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]-16=\frac{dh}{dy}*\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dh}{dy}=\frac{d}{dy} (\sqrt{x^2+y^2})\\[/tex]
Applying the chain rule:
[tex]u=x^2+y^2\\\frac{dh}{dy}=\frac{d\sqrt u}{du} *\frac{du}{dy}\\\frac{dh}{dy}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt u} *2y\\\frac{dh}{dy}=\frac{y}{\sqrt {(x^2+y^2)}}[/tex]
Therefore, at x=300 and y = 500, dy/dt is:
[tex]-16=\frac{y}{\sqrt {(x^2+y^2)}}*\frac{dy}{dt}\\-16=\frac{500}{\sqrt {(300^2+500^2)}}*\frac{dy}{dt}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=-18.66\ ft/s[/tex]
The elevator is descending at 18.66 ft/s.

Finding the surface area of a composite solid :
A composite solid is made up of two or more solid figures.
To find the surface area of a composite solid, find the surface area of each figure. Subtract any area not on the surface.
Finding the surface area of a composite solid - Examples
Example 1 :
Daniel built the birdhouse shown below. What was the surface area of the birdhouse before the hole was drilled ?
Solution :
Step 1 :
Identify the important information.
• The top is a triangular prism with h = 24 cm. The base is a triangle with height 8 cm and base 30 cm.
• The bottom is a rectangular prism with h = 18 cm. The base is a 30 cm by 24 cm rectangle.
• One face of each prism is not on the surface of the figure.
Step 2 :
Find the surface area of each prism.
Add the areas. Subtract the areas of the parts not on the surface.
Step 3 :
Find the area of the triangular prism.
Perimeter = 17 + 17 + 30 = 64 cm
Base area = (1/2)(30)(8) = 120 sq.cm
Surface area = Ph + 2B
Surface area = 64(24) + 2(120)
Surface area = 1,776 sq.cm
Step 4 :
Find the area of the rectangular prism.
Perimeter = 2(30) + 2(24) = 108 cm
Base area = 30(24) = 720 sq.cm
Surface area = Ph + 2B
Surface area = 108(18) + 2(720)
Surface area = 3,384 sq.cm
Step 5 :
Add. Then subtract twice the areas of the parts not on the surface.
Surface area = 1,776 + 3,384 - 2(720) = 3,720 sq.cm
The surface area before the hole was drilled was 3,720 sq.cm.
The surface area before the hole was drilled was; 3,720 sq.cm.
What is composite solid?A composite solid is made up of two or more solid figures.

Now the area of the rectangular prism.
Perimeter = 2(30) + 2(24) = 108 cm
Base area = 30(24) = 720 sq.cm
Surface area = Ph + 2B
Surface area = 108(18) + 2(720)
Surface area = 3,384 sq.cm
Now,
Surface area = 1,776 + 3,384 - 2(720) = 3,720 sq.cm

Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first statement is false because the price for 10 gallons is about $37 from the graph. Using this same reasoning, the third statement is also false. The last statement doesn't make sense because the graph has nothing to do with the amount of miles driven. Therefore, the answer is the second statement. We can prove it by looking at the point (4, 15). This means that it costs $15 for 4 gallons, so then the price for one gallon will be 15 / 4 = $3.75.
