The distribution of number of hours worked by volunteers last year at a large hospital is approximately normal with mean 80 and

standard deviation 7. Volunteers in the top 20 percent of hours worked will
receive a certificate of merit. If a volunteer from last year is selected at random, which of the following is closest to the probability that the volunteer selected will receive a certificate of merit given that the
number of hours the volunteer worked is less than 90?
A 0.077
B 0.123
C 0 0.618
D 0.618
E 0.923

Answer:

E 0.923

Step-by-step explanation:

The Z score is a measurement used in statistics to determine the relationship between a value and a mean of a group of values measured as standard deviation from the mean. The z score (z) is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, Where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation and x is the value.

Given that:

σ = 7, μ = 80 and x = 90  

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{90-80}{7} =1.43

From the normal distribution table, P(X < 90) = P(z < 1.43) = 0.923

Answer:

11%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Fill out the table with the correct numbers.

2. After you fillout the numbers, you should notice that under the column car and in the first row, there should be the number 18.

3. We know the total number of students under the age of 15 is 165.

4. To find the percent:

       18/165 * 100

Which sequence of transformations produces R'S'T' from RST? On a coordinate plane, triangle R S T has points (0, 0), (negative 2
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle RST and another triangle R'S'T' tranformed from RST

Vertices of RST are (0, 0), (negative 2, 3), (negative 3, 1).

Vertices of R'S'T' are  (2, 0), (0, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 1).

Comparing the corresponding vertices we find that x coordinate increased by 2 while y coordinate got the different sign.

This indicates that there is both reflection and transformation horizontally to the right by 2 units

So first shifted right by 2 units so that vertices became

(2,0) (0,3) (-1,1)

Now reflected on the line y=0 i.e. x axis

New vertices are

(2,0) (0,-3) (-1,-1)

While at a carnival, Andrew comes across a game that involves rolling a die. According to the game's rules, if the number rolled
Reptile [31]

Answer:

he can expect to lose 0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must calculate the expected value of the game.

If x is a discrete random variable that represents the gain obtained when rolling a dice, then the expected value E is:

E =\sum xP (x)

When throwing a dice the possible values are:

x: 1→ -$9;  2→ $4;  3→ -$9;  4→ $8;  5→ -$9;  6→ $12

The probability of obtaining any of these numbers is:

p=\frac{1}{6}

The gain when obtaining an even number is twice the number.

The loss to get an odd number is $ 9

So the expected gain is:

E=-9*\frac{1}{6}-9*\frac{1}{6}-9*\frac{1}{6} + 4*\frac{1}{6} + 8*\frac{1}{6} + 12*\frac{1}{6}\\\\E =-27*\frac{1}{6} + 24*\frac{1}{6}\\\\E=-3*\frac{1}{6}\\\\E=-$0.5

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply. Please ans
timama [110]
<span>The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the b^2-4ac portion that the square root is taken of. If the discriminant is negative, then the function has 2 imaginary roots, if the discriminant is equal to 0, then the function has only 1 real root, and finally, if the discriminant is greater than 0, the function has 2 real roots. So let's look at the equations and see which have a positive discriminant. f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8 6^2 - 4*1*8 36 - 32 = 4 Positive, so f(x) has 2 real roots. g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 8 4^2 - 4*1*8 16 - 32 = -16 Negative, so g(x) does not have any real roots h(x) = x^2 – 12x + 32 -12^2 - 4*1*32 144 - 128 = 16 Positive, so h(x) has 2 real roots. k(x) = x^2 + 4x – 1 4^2 - 4*1*(-1) 16 - (-4) = 20 Positive, so k(x) has 2 real roots. p(x) = 5x^2 + 5x + 4 5^2 - 4*5*4 25 - 80 = -55 Negative, so p(x) does not have any real roots t(x) = x^2 – 2x – 15 -2^2 - 4*1*(-15) 4 - (-60) = 64 Positive, so t(x) has 2 real roots.</span>
