The length of time it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of 7 minutes and a stand

julsineya [31]

Answer:

There is a 2.28% probability that it takes less than one minute to find a parking space. Since this probability is smaller than 5%, you would be surprised to find a parking space so fast.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by

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

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.

Also, a probability is unusual if it is lesser than 5%. If it is unusual, it is surprising.

In this problem:

The length of time it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of 7 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes, so $\mu = 7, \sigma = 3$ .

We need to find the probability that it takes less than one minute to find a parking space.

So we need to find the pvalue of Z when $X = 1$

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

$Z = \frac{1 - 7}{3}$

$Z = -2$

$Z = -2$ has a pvalue of 0.0228.

There is a 2.28% probability that it takes less than one minute to find a parking space. Since this probability is smaller than 5%, you would be surprised to find a parking space so fast.

Cindy found a collection of baseball cards in her attic worth $8,000. the collection is estimated to increase in value by 1.5% p

Sergio [31]

A]
Exponential function is given by the form:
y=a(b)ˣ
where:
a=initial value
b=growth factor
From the question:
a=$8000, b=1.015,
thus the exponential growth function of this situation is:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ

b] The value of the collection after 7 years will be:
x=7 years
Using the formula:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ
plugging the values we get:
y=8000(1.015)⁷
y=8,878.76

Answer: $8,878.76

Which statements are true about David's work? Check all that apply. The GCF of the coefficients is correct. The GCF of the varia

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The GCF of the coefficients is correct.

The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.

In step 6, David applied the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial :

80b⁴ – 32b²c³ + 48b⁴c

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the coefficients:

80, 32, 48

Factors of :

80 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, and 80

32 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32

48 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.

GCF = 16

b⁴, b², b⁴

b⁴ = b * b * b * b

b² = b * b

b⁴ = b * b * b * b

GCF = b*b = b²

GCF of c³ and c

c³ = c * c * c

c = c

GCF = c

We can see that David's GCF of the coefficients are all correct

From the polynomial ; 80b⁴ does not contain c ; so factoring out c is incorrect

In step 6 ; the distributive property was used to obtain ; 16b²c(5b² – 2c² + 3b²)
