A lawyer commutes daily from his suburban home to his midtown office. The average time for a one-way trip is 24 minutes, with a standard deviation of 3.8 minutes. Assume the distribution of trip times to be normally distributed.
(a) What is the probability that a trip will take at least ½ hour?
(b) If the office opens at 9:00 A.M. and he leaves his house at 8:45 A.M. daily, what percentage of the time is he late for work?
(c) If he leaves the house at 8:35 A.M. and coffee is served at the office from 8:50 A.M. until 9:00 A.M., what is the probability that he misses coffee?
(d) Find the length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips.
(e) Find the probability that 2 of the next 3 trips will take at least one half
1/2 hour.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Probability-Above 30 min = 5.72% = .0572
b) Probability-Above 15 min = 99.11% = .9911
c) *Probability-Between 1 - 59.49% = .4051
d) 19.136 minutes z = -1.28
a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.
b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.
c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.
d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips will be 0.5438.
e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half
1/2 hour is 0.0103.
What do you mean by normal distribution ?
A probability distribution known as a "normal distribution" shows that data are more likely to occur when they are close to the mean than when they are far from the mean.
Let assume the time taken for a one way trip be x .
x ⇒ N( μ , σ ²)
x ⇒ N( 24 , 3.8 ²)
a)
The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour or 30 minutes will be :
P ( x ≥ 30)
= P [ (x - μ) / σ ≥ (30 - μ) / σ ]
We know that , (x - μ) / σ = z.
= P [ z ≥ (30 - 24) / 3.8)]
= P [ z ≥ 1.578 ]
= 1 - P [ z ≤ 1.578 ]
Now , using the standard normal table :
P ( x ≥ 30)
= 1 - 0.9394
= 0.0606
b)
The percentage of the time the lawyer is late for work will be :
P ( x ≥ 15)
= P [ z ≥ -2.368 ]
= P [ z ≤ 2.368]
= 0.9918
or
99.18%
c)
The probability that lawyer misses coffee :
P ( 15 < x < 25 ) = P ( x < 25 ) - P ( x < 15)
= P [ z < 0.263] - P ( z < -2.368)
or
= 0.3659
d)
The length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips :
P( x ≥ X ) ≤ 0.10
= 0.5438
e)
Let's assume that y represents the number of trips that takes at least half hour.
y ⇒ B ( n , p)
y ⇒ B ( 3 , 0.0606)
So , the probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half
1/2 hour is :
P ( Y = 2 )
= 3C2 × (0.0606)² × ( 1 - 0.0606)
= 0.0103
Therefore , the answers are :
a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.
b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.
c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.
d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10% of trips will be 0.5438.
e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half
1/2 hour is 0.0103.

Step-by-step explanation:
The 4th of an AP is 15 and the 9th term is 35. find the 15th term
Consecutive terms in this sequence are separated by a constant c, so if the 4th term is 15, then the next terms would be
5th: 15 + c
6th: (15 + c) + c = 15 + 2c
7th: (15 + 2c) + c = 15 + 3c
and so on. More generally, since any given number in the sequence depends on the number that came before it, we can write the n-th term in terms of the 4th term,
n-th: 15 + (n - 4) c
Then the 9th term in the sequence is
15 + (9 - 4) c = 35
and solving for c gives
15 + 5c = 35 ==> 5c = 20 ==> c = 4
Then the 15th term would be
15 + (15 - 4)×4 = 15 + 11×4 = 15 + 44 = 59
Wesley is making a patio from stones of two sizes, 5 inch wide and 10 inch wide. He wants to begin and end his pattern with a 10 inch stone so there will be one more of the 10 inch stones than of 5inch stones. His patio will be 130 inches wide.
How many 10 inch stones will Wesley need for one row?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the number of 10-inch stones, then (x-1) is the number of 5-inch stones, and the total width is ...
10x +5(x-1) = 130
15x -5 = 130 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
15x = 135 . . . . . . add 5
x = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 15

A manufacturer claims that its drug test will detect steroid use (that is, show positive for an athlete who uses steroids) 95% of the time. Further, 15% of all steroid-free individuals also test positive. 10% of the rugby team members use steroids. Your friend on the rugby team has just tested positive. The correct probability tree looks like
Answer:
The probability tree is;
0.95 [tex](+)[/tex]

[ P ]
0.9 0.15 [tex](+)[/tex]
[tex](S_{no})[/tex]
0.85 [tex](-)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
10% of the rugby team members use steroids
so Probability of using steroid; P( use steroid ) = 10% = 0.10
Probability of not using steroid; P( no steroid use ) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90
Since the test show positive for an athlete who uses steroids, 95% of the time.
Probability of using steroids and testing positive = 95% = 0.95
Probability of using steroids and testing Negative = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
Also from the test, 15% of all steroid-free individuals also test positive.
so
Probability of not using steroids and testing positive = 15% = 0.15
Probability of not using steroids and testing negative = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
To set up the probability tree, Let;
[tex](S)[/tex] represent steroid use
[tex](S_{no})[/tex] represent no steroid use
[tex](+)[/tex] represent test positive
[tex](-)[/tex] represent test negative

There are 78 natural numbers between 68 and 145.
What are the Natural numbers?The Natural numbers are defined as it used for counting and are a component of the number system, which includes all positive integers from 1 to infinity. It does not include zero (0).
The set of natural numbers includes only the positive integers, i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ……….∞.
Sum of natural numbers are n(n+1)/2
Sn = n(n+1)/2
Hence, this is the formula to calculate sum of 'n' natural numbers.
Given that numbers are 68 and 145
We will start counting from 68 to 144
Number of natural numbers between 68 and 145 = (144 - 67)+1
Number of natural numbers between 68 and 145= 77 +1
Number of natural numbers between 68 and 145 = 78
Hence, there are 78 natural numbers between 68 and 145.

(b) An economy has an agricultural industry and a textile industry. Each unit of agricultural output requires 0.4 unit of agricultural input and 0.1 unit of textiles input. Each unit of textiles output requires 0.1 unit of agricultural input and 0.2 unit of textiles input.
(i) Write the technology matrix for this economy. [2 marks]
(ii) If surpluses of 5 units of agricultural products and 195 units of textiles are desired, find the gross production of each industry
Leontief input output model (technology matrix) is an economic model that shows the quantitative relationship and sectorial interdependency in a national economy
The responses with regards to the question are;
(i) The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;
[tex]\mathbf{ A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]
(ii) The required gross production of each industry to meet the desired surplus are;
50 units of agriculture and 250 units of textile
The reason the above values are correct is as follows:
(i) The given parameters are;
The industries in the economy = Agricultural industry and textile industry
Units of agricultural input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.4
Units of textile input required per unit of agricultural output = 0.1
Units of agricultural input required per unit of textile output = 0.1
Units of textile input required per unit of textile output = 0.2
Let X represent agriculture, and let Y represent textile, we have;
[tex]Agric \ for \ agric = \dfrac{0.4 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ agric \ produced} \times X \ Agric \ produced= 0.4 \cdot X[/tex]
[tex]Agric \ for \ textile = \dfrac{0.1 \ units \ of \ agriculture}{1\ unit \ of \ textile \ produced} \times Y \ textile \ produced= 0.1 \cdot Y[/tex]
We also have;
Textile for agriculture = 0.1·X
Textile for textile = 0.2·Y
Therefore;
X = 0.4·X + 0.1·Y
Y = 0.1·X + 0.2·Y
Therefore;
The technology matrix for the economy is presented as follows;
[tex]\mathbf{Technology \ matrix, A} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Agric&&Textile\\0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] \begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{Per \ Unit}\\Agriculture\\\\Textile\end{array}\right][/tex]
(ii) Let P represent the production vector, and let d represent the demand vector, we have;
[tex]P = \left[\begin{array}{c}X \\Y\end{array}\right][/tex], [tex]d = \left[\begin{array}{c}5 \\195\end{array}\right][/tex]
P = A·P + d
∴ P - A·P = d
Therefore;
[tex]P = \mathbf{ \dfrac{d}{(I - A)}}[/tex]
Where I = The 2 by 2 identity matrix
We get;
[tex]I - A =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&&0\\&&\\0&&1\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.4&&0.1\\&&\\0.1&&0.2\end{array}\right] = \mathbf{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.6&&-0.1\\&&\\-0.1&&0.8\end{array}\right]}[/tex]
With the use of a graphing calculator, we have;
[tex]P =\left[\begin{array}{c}X \\Y\end{array}\right] = \dfrac{\left[\begin{array}{c}5 \\195\end{array}\right]}{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.6&&-0.1\\&&\\-0.1&&0.8\end{array}\right]} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}50\\\\\ 250\end{array}\right][/tex]

Answer:
8. -2a+14
9. w=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
8.
The distributive property states that we can multiply each component in the parenthesis separately by the number on the outside, and then add that up to get our final answer.
For -2(a-7), this means that we can multiply -2 by a and then -2 by -7 (as 2 is the number on the outside, and a and -7 are the components in the parenthesis), add them up, and get our answer. This can be expressed as
-2 * a + (-2) * (-7) = final answer
= -2 * a + 14
We know that -2 * -7 = 14 because 2 * 7 = 14, and the two negatives in multiplication cancel each other out
9.
Using the subtraction property of equality, we can isolate the variable (w) and its coefficient (-2/3) by subtracting 5, resulting in
(-2/3)w = 4-5 = -1
Next, we can use the multiplication property of equality to isolate the w. To isolate the w, we can multiply its coefficient by its reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over. For (-2/3), its reciprocal is (-3/2), flipping the 2 and 3. We can multiply both sides by (-3/2) to get
w = (-3/2)
To check this, we can plug (-3/2) for w in our original equation, so
(-2/3) * (-3/2) + 5 = 4
-1 + 5 = 4
4 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles.
Simply stated, any polygon with three (3) lengths of sides is a triangle.
In Geometry, a triangle is considered to be the most important shape.
Generally, there are three (3) main types of triangle based on the length of their sides and these include;
I. Equilateral triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles equal.
II. Isosceles triangle: it has two (2) of its sides equal in length and two (2) equal angles.
III. Scalene triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles different in length and size respectively.
In Geometry, an acute angle can be defined as any angle that has its size less than ninety (90) degrees.
Hence, we can deduce that the greatest number of acute angles that a triangle can contain is three (3) because the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
In a study on the time that
a student required to obtain a college degree is randomly selected to 80
students and it is discovered that they have an average of 4.8 years (according to data from the National
Center for Education Statistics). Assuming s 2.2 years, construct an estimate of a confidence interval of the population mean. The confidence interval
the result contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years?
The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.
-----------------------------
To solve this question, we need to find the confidence interval for the amount of time it takes the students to get the degree.
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
-----------------------------
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 80 - 1 = 79
-----------------------------
95% confidence interval
Standard level of confidence, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 79 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9905.
-----------------------------
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9905\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{80}} = 0.5[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
-----------------------------
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.8 - 0.3 = 4.3 years.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.8 + 0.3 = 5.3 years.
-----------------------------
The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.

[tex]\displaystyle h(x) = 20e^{kx} \text{ where } k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]
A)
Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find k.
h(1) = 20 means that h(x) = 20 when x = 1. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (20) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]1= e^k[/tex]
Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:
[tex]k=0[/tex]
B)
Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2k + 1.
Likewise, this means that h(x) = 40 when x = 1. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (40) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle 2 = e^{k}[/tex]
We can take the natural log of both sides:
[tex]\displaystyle \ln 2 = \underbrace{k\ln e}_{\ln a^b = b\ln a}[/tex]
By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln 2[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]2k+1 = 2\ln 2+ 1 \approx 2.3863[/tex]
C)
Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find k - 3.
Again, this meas that h(x) = 10 when x = 1. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (10) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]
Simplfy:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = e^k[/tex]
Take the natural log of both sides:
[tex]\displaystyle \ln \frac{1}{2} = k\ln e[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle k - 3 = \ln\frac{1}{2} - 3\approx-3.6931[/tex]

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can run at a speed of 4 mph and swim at a speed of 2 mph and are located on the shore, 6 miles east of an island that is 1 mile north of the shoreline. How far (in mi) should you run west to minimize the time needed to reach the island
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5.423 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:
d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37
d = √(x² -12x +37)
The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...
time = distance/speed
total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)
__
The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.
t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0
Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...
√(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0
Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...
4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37
3x² -36x +107 = 0
The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...
x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi
You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.
