We are given that 76 persons can complete the job in 42 days.

We need to find the number of days will 56 persons do the same job.

Let us assume that in x number of days will 56 persons do the same job.

Number of days taken by 1 person to complete same work = 76 × 42 =3192 days.

56 person will take = \frac{3192 }{56} = 57.

<h3>Therefore, 57 days will 56 persons do the same job.</h3>

the time taken by a student to the university has been shown to be normally distributed with mean of 16 minutes and standard dev
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b) 5.112 days

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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}

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:

\mu = 16, \sigma = 2.1

a. Find the probability that he is late for his first lecture.

This is the probability that he takes more than 20 minutes to walk, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

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

Z = \frac{20 - 16}{2.1}

Z = 1.905

Z = 1.905 has a pvalue of 0.9716

1 - 0.9716 = 0.0284

2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b. Find the number of days per year he is likely to be late for his first lecture.

Each day, 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

Out of 180

0.0284*180 = 5.112 days

the Vikings play 36 games this year at midseason they had won 16 games. How many of the remaining games must they win in order t
aliina [53]

80% of their games are 28.8, or 29 games (since they need to win at least 80%). They have already won 16. 29-16 is 13.

Therefore, they need to win 13 more games.

P.S. The midseason statement is irrelevant.

Circle O has a center at (-2, -2) and a diameter of 10 units. What point lies on circle O?
Sophie [7]

The point r(-6,-5)  lies on  the circle.

Explanation

Given that the center of the circle=(-2,-2)

diameter=10 units

we have to determine which point among the given points lies on the circle.

radius=diameter/2=10/2=5 units

let (x,y) be a point on the circle

The distance between the center and (x,y) is equal to the radius of the circle

The distance between them=\sqrt{(x-(-2))^2+y-(-2))^2}=5\\\\ \sqrt{(x+2)^2+(y+2)^2} =5\\\\

squaring both sides (x+2)^2+(y+2)^2=25\\

The option (-6,-5) satisfies the equation

therefore the point that lies on the circle is (-6,-5)

f(x) = −16x2 + 24x + 16 Part A: What are the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x)? Show your work. (2 points) Part B: Is the vertex
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = −16x^2 + 24x + 16

Set equal to zero to find the x intercepts

0  = −16x^2 + 24x + 16

Factor out -8

0 = -8(2x^2 -3x-2)

Factor

0 = -8(2x +1) (x-2)

Using the zero product property

2x+1 =0    x-2 =0

x = -1/2      x=2

The x intercepts are -1/2   ,2

Since the coefficient of x^2 is negative the graph will open down and the vertex will be a maximum

The x value of the maximum is 1/2 way between the zeros

(-1/2+2) /2 = 1.5/2 =.75

To find the y value substitute into the function

f(.75) = -8(2x +1) (x-2)

        =-8(2*.75+1) (.75-2)

        = -8(2.5)(-1.25)

         =25

The vertex is at (.75, 25)

We have the zeros, and  the vertex.  We know the graph is symmetrical about the vertex
