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.
This part of the plane is a triangle. Call it

. We can find the intercepts by setting two variables to 0 simultaneously; we'd find, for instance, that

means

, so that (4, 0, 0) is one vertex of the triangle. Similarly, we'd find that (0, 5, 0) and (0, 0, 20) are the other two vertices.
Next, we can parameterize the surface by

so that the surface element is

Then the area of

is given by the surface integral

The unknown side is 9. Because 9 x 5= 45, 45 being the perimeter, that is 5 times the unknown side. And 45 is the sum of 9, 16, and 20.
.50 is the answer I think, hope this helps
