Fast Auto Service provides oil and lube service for cars. It is known that the mean time taken for oil and lube service at this garage is 15 minutes per car and the standard deviation is 2.4 minutes. The management wants to promote the business by guaranteeing a maximum waiting time for its customers. If a customer's car is not serviced within that period, the customer will receive a 50% discount on the charges. The company wants to limit this discount to at most 8% of the customers. What should the maximum guaranteed waiting time be

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum guaranteed waiting time should be of 18.37 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

It is known that the mean time taken for oil and lube service at this garage is 15 minutes per car and the standard deviation is 2.4 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 15, \sigma = 2.4[/tex]

The company wants to limit this discount to at most 8% of the customers. What should the maximum guaranteed waiting time be?

The 100 - 8 = 92th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.92. So X when Z = 1.405.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.405 = \frac{X - 15}{2.4}[/tex]

[tex]X - 15 = 1.405*2.4[/tex]

[tex]X = 18.37[/tex]

The maximum guaranteed waiting time should be of 18.37 minutes.

Find the perimeter of this semi-circle with diameter, d = 52cm.

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter = 133.681 cm

or 52.63 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

"So, the perimeter of a semicircle is 1/2 (πd) + d or πr + 2r, where r is the radius."

let's use,  πr + 2r

Diameter: 52

Radius: 26 (RAdius is half of the diameter)

πr + 2r (plug in)

a

, where  

N

is a number between 1 and 10, and  

a

is a positive or negative integer.

To convert to scientific notation, you move the decimal point until the new form is a number between 1 and 10 (

If you move the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative.

Step 1. Move the decimal place to the right to create a new number between 1 and 10.

This gives

Step 2. Count the number of times you moved the decimal.

You moved the decimal 8 places to the right.

similarly

when x = 2

y = 3 * 2 - 4 = 2

and so on you can check.

A special CPI is constructed to measure the variation of these products, so that coffee and bread have a weight of 0.35 of the total and egg, ham and cheese 0.1 of the total. variation of the CPI?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  The CPI increased 3.42% in Month 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a spreadsheet, the weighted sum is easily computed using the SUMPRODUCT( ) function. It multiplies the corresponding values of two arrays, then returns the sum of those products. If one of the values is a weight, then the result is a weighted sum.

Your CPI is computed as the weighted sum of the prices of the individual products. The percentage change is computed in the usual way:

  pct change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

Of course, the spreadsheet can format a fraction as a percentage, so the computation of the change can stop after 1 is subtracted from the ratio.

Prove that sin^4x + cos^4x= sinxcosx

Answers

Answer:

(the relation you wrote is not correct, there may be something missing, so I will simplify the initial expression)

Here we have the equation:

[tex]sin^4(x) + cos^4(x)[/tex]

We can rewrite this as:

[tex](sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2[/tex]

Now we can add and subtract cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) to get:

[tex](sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2 + 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) - 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)[/tex]

We can complete squares to get:

[tex](cos^2(x) + sin^2(x))^2 - 2*cos(x)^2*sin(x)^2[/tex]

and we know that:

cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1

then:

[tex]1 - 2*sin(x)^2*cos(x)^2[/tex]

This is the closest expression to what you wrote.

We also know that:

sin(x)*cos(x) = (1/2)*sin(2*x)

If we replace that, we get:

[tex]1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}[/tex]

Then the simplification is:

[tex]cos^4(x) + sin^4(x) = 1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}[/tex]

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula. This is X when Z has a p-value of 1-0.01 = 0.99. So it is X when Z = 2.325.
