Times for an ambulance to respond to a medical emergency in a certain town are normally distributed with a mean of 400 seconds a

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the normal distribution curve, the mean is in the middle and each line to the left and to the right of that mean represent 1- and 1+ the standard deviation. If our mean is 400, then 400 + 50 = 450; 450 + 50 = 500; 500 + 50 = 550. Going from the mean to the left, we subtract the standard deviation and 400 - 50 = 350; 350 - 50 = 300; 300 - 50 = 250. We are interested in the range that falls between 350 and 450 as a percentage. That range represents the two middle sections, each containing 34% of the data. So the total percentage of response times is 68%. We are looking then for 68% of the 144 emergency response times in town. .68(144) = 97.92 or 98 emergencies that have response times of between 350 and 450 seconds.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Not all tiles will be used.

Zina [86]

Answer:

$1,100 at 3.2% for 3 years -> $105.60

$990 at 3.15% for 4 years -> $124.74

$1,025 at 2.8% for 5 years -> $143.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula is:

A = P*(1 + r*t)

where A if final account, P is principal, r is annual interest rate (as decimal) and t is time in years

Interest earned is A - P, then:

I = P*(1 + r*t) - P = P(1 + r*t - 1) = P*r*t

If P = $1100, r = 0.032 and t = 3, then:

I = 1100*0.032*3 = $105.6

If P = $990, r = 0.0315 and t = 4, then:

I = 990*0.0315*4 = $124.74

If P = $1025, r = 0.028 and t = 5, then:

I = 1025*0.028*5 = $143.5

A company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $ 18 comma 000$18,000. It costs $ 120$120 to produce each canoe. Th

Scilla [17]

If the company makes 1 canoe only, then the cost is, the fixed cost plus how much it costs for the 1 canoe, or
180,000 + 1*120

if it makes 2 canoes
180,000 + 2*120
3 canoes 180,000 + 3*120
4canoes 180,000 + 4*120
x canoes 180,000 + x*120

so... we dunno what "x" is, but whatever "x" maybe, the cost ends up as 180,000 + x*120, or 180,000 + 120x

now, let's see the revenue
1 canoe 1 * 240
2 canoes 2*240
3 canoes 3*240
x canoes x*240

so.. whatever "x" maybe, the Revenue is x*240 or 240x

break-even point is when, the amount of expenses and earnings cancel each other out, or, there's no profit, but there's no loss either, same amount that's spent is also earned back

so, the break-even point occurs when Revenue = Cost

180,000 + 120x = 240x <--- solve for "x"

If y varies directly as x, and y is 400 when x is r and y is r when x is 4, what is the numeric constant of variation in this

otez555 [7]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a direct relation between two variables x and y then it can be represented as

y = kx ,

where y is dependent variable

x is independent variable

k is constant of variation

_____________________________

First condition

y = 400

x = r

using y = kx then relationship will be

400 = kr

finding k here

k = 400/r

Second condition

y = r

x = 4

using y = kx then relationship will be

r = 4k

finding k

k = r/4

since in both condition equation is same

thus, value of k will also be same

thus,

400/r = r/4

=> 400*4 = r*r

=> 1600 = r^2

$\sqrt{r^{2} } = \sqrt{1600} \\r = 40$

Thus, 40 is the value of r

k = r/4 = 40/4 = 10

Thus, constant of variation is 10 which is correct choice.

To cross validate

k = 400/r = 400/40 = 10
