[Done] Read the passage and answer the question that follows. In a small town known for its delightful desserts, two friends, Rashina and Jake, sat at their favorite ice cream parlor, each savoring their own unique experience. Rashina, with a joyful smile, held her double-scoop cone of creamy chocolate and vanilla ice cream. She exclaimed, "Ice cream is the best dessert in the world! So many yummy flavors! Can't get any better than this!" On the other side of the table, Jake watched with a look of bemusement on his face he had chosen a refreshing fruit sorbet instead. He relished the coolness of the lemony tang, appreciating the vibrant flavors and colors. "Well, for you, maybe," Jake chuckled, raising his sorbet to the light. "But I much more prefer sorbet.

[Done] The same methods used to deal with finding the expected value, variance, and standard deviation of the sum/difference of two independent random variables may be extended to n independent random variables. If [tex]X _1, X _2, \ldots, X _{ n }[/tex] represent n independent random variables, then the expected value and standard deviation, respectively, of the n independent random variables are shown below. [tex]\begin{array}{l} E\left(X_1+X_2+\ldots+X_n\right)=E\left(X_1\right)+E\left(X_2\right)+\ldots+E\left(X_n\right) \\ \sigma_{X_1}+X_2+\ldots+X_n=\sqrt{\sigma_{X_1}^2+\sigma_{X_2}^2+\ldots+\sigma_{X_n}^2} \end{array}[/tex] The accompanying table summarizes the mean and standard deviation times (in seconds) of the four swimmers on Team Jax in the [tex]4 \times 100[/tex]-meter medley. Use this information to complete parts (a) and (b). Click the icon to view the mean and standard deviation times for Team Jax. (a) Determine the mean and standard deviation time to complete the race for Team Jax. The mean time to complete the race for Team Jax is 213.38 seconds. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.) The standard deviation time to complete the race for Team Jax is 75 seconds. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.) (b) A competing team recently had a winning time of 210.06 seconds. Assess the chances of Team Jax against this team. The chances of Team Jax winning are $\square$ because the competing team's time is $\square$ standard deviations from Team Jax's time, which is $\square$ Team Jax's time. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

[Done] Which patients should you ask what language they would prefer to use for communication? A. Patients who are wearing traditional clothing from a different part of the world B. Patients who are bilingual C. Patients who are under the age of 18 D. Patients who are new

[Done] Thomas is planning a trip to India. He is currently deciding which cities he would like to visit during his stay. The table below shows possible cities for Thomas to visit, as well as how much money he expects to need at each one. All costs are given in Indian rupees (Rs.). | City | Cost (Rs.) | | :-------------------- | :--------- | | Jaipur | 6,920 | | Mumbai | 9,464 | | Thiruvananthapuram | 9,160 | | Lucknow | 5,276 | | Bhopal | 8,268 | | Bhubaneswar | 7,109 | | New Delhi | 6,303 | | Bengaluru | 6,735 | Thomas had originally planned to visit Thiruvananthapuram, Mumbai, Bhubaneswar, and Bengaluru, but his budget of Rs. 25,300 makes that impossible. Which of the following itinerary changes will allow Thomas to stay within his budget? (Consider each option individually, rather than as a group.)
