The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 30 and 60 minutes. One student is selected at random. Find the probability of the following events.

a. The student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.
b. The student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.
c. The student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1667 = 16.67% probability that the student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.

b) 0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.

c) 0% probability that the student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.  

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value above x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

Uniformly distributed between 30 and 60 minutes.

This means that [tex]a = 30, b = 60[/tex]

a. The student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.

[tex]P(X > 55) = \frac{60 - 55}{60 - 30} = 0.1667[/tex]

0.1667 = 16.67% probability that the student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.

b. The student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.

[tex]P(30 \leq X \leq 40) = \frac{40 - 30}{60 - 30} = 0.3333[/tex]

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.

c. The student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

Probability of an exact value in a continuous distribution, such as the uniform distribution, is 0%, so:

0% probability that the student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

calculate the area of the following figure.​

Answers

Answer:

77 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be decomposed into two rectangles.

✔️Area of rectangle 1:

Area of rectangle 1 = length * width

length = 3.5 cm

width = 8 cm

Area of rectangle 1 = 3.5*8 = 28 cm²

✔️Area of rectangle 2:

Area of rectangle 2 = length * width

length = 14 cm

width = 3.5 cm

Area of rectangle 2 = 14*3.5= 49 cm²

✔️Area of the figure = 28 + 49 = 77 cm²

y=x/5+3

interchanging role of x and y

x=y/5+3

x-3=y/5

y=5x-15

I need to know what goes in the periods rate total amount and total interest boxes in why

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

periods: 4rate: 1%total amount: 598.35total interest: 23.35

Step-by-step explanation:

"Periods" will be filled with the number of years (1) times the number of periods per year (quarterly = 4). periods = 4

"Rate" is likely filled with the rate of interest divided by the number of periods per year. rate = 4%/4 = 1%

Then the total amount is found by ...

  total amount = principal × (1 + rate)^(periods)

  = 575 × (1.01^4) = 598.35

The total interest is the difference between this amount and the principal.

  total interest = total amount - principal

  = 598.35 -575 = 23.35

Ibrahim wants to give each of his six friends 1 2/3 candy bars. How many candy bars does he need to buy?

Answers

Answer:

10 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each of his friends needs a candy bar, you need to multiply 6 and 1 ⅔ together.

First, convert 1 ⅔ into an improper fraction: this gives us ⁵⁄₃.

Next, multiply ⁶⁄₁ and ⁵⁄₃ together. To do this, you can visualize 6 as ⁶⁄₁ (which is the same thing). Now you have ⁶⁄₁ x ⁵⁄₃.

Simplify:

The 6 in the numerator and the 3 in the denominator cancel out. This gives us ²⁄₁ x ⁵⁄₁ , which is 2 x 5.

2 x 5 = 10

Seth and Ted can paint a room in 5 hours if they work together. If Ted were to work by himself, it would take him 1 hours longer than it would take Seth working by himself. How long would it take Seth to paint the room by himself if Ted calls in sick

Answers

Answer:

Seth would need 10 hours to paint the room.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

S = rate at which Seth works

T = rate at which Ted works

When they work together, the rate is S + T

And we know that when they work together they can pint one room in 5 hours, then we can write:

(S + T)*5 h = 1 room.

We also know that Ted alone would need one hour more than Seth alone.

Then if Seth can paint the room in a time t, we have:

S*t = 1room

and

T¨*(t + 1h) = 1room

Then we have 3 equations:

(S + T)*5 h = 1

S*t = 1

T¨*(t + 1h) = 1

(I removed the "room" part so it is easier to read)

We want to find the value of S.

First, let's isolate one variable (not S) in one of the equations.

We can isolate t in the second one, to get:

t = 1/S

Now we can replace it on the third equation:

T¨*(t + 1h) = 1

T¨*( 1/S + 1h) = 1

Now we need to isolate T in this equation, we will get:

T = 1/( 1/S + 1h)

Now we can replace this in the first equation:

(S + T)*5h = 1

(S + 1/( 1/S + 1h) )*5h = 1

Now we can solve this for S

(S + 1/( 1/S + 1h) )= 1/5h

S + 1/(1/S + 1h) = 1/5h

Now we can multiply both sides by (1/S + 1h)

(1/S + 1h)*S + 1 = (1/5h)*(1/S + 1h)

1 + S*1h + 1 = 1/(S*5h) + 1/5

S*1h + 2 = (1/5h*S) + (1/5)

Now we can multiply both sides by S, to get:

(1h)*S^2 + 2*S = (1/5h) + (1/5)*S

Now we have a quadratic equation:

(1h)*S^2 + 2*S  - (1/5)*S -  (1/5h) = 0

(1h)*S^2 + (9/5)*S - (1/5h) = 0

The solutions are given by the Bhaskara's formula:

[tex]S = \frac{-(9/5) \pm \sqrt{(9/5)^2 - 4*(1h)*(-1/5h)} }{2*1h} = \frac{-9/5 \pm 2}{2h}[/tex]

Then the solution (we only take te positive one) is:

S = (-9/5 + 2)/2h

S = (-9/5 + 10/5)/2h = (1/5)/2h = 1/10h

Then Seth needs a time t to paint one room:

(1/10h)*t = 1

t = 1/(1/10h) = 10h

So Seth would need 10 hours to paint the room.

generate a table of values for the equation y = -4.5x - 0.5. Use values for x from -2 to 2, increment by 1 in each row

Answers

Answer:

x = -2: y = 8.5

x = -1: y = 4

x = 0: y = -0.5

x = 1: y = -5

x = 2: y = -9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the numeric values for the function from x = -2 to x = 2.

x = -2:

[tex]y = -4.5(-2) - 0.5 = 9 - 0.5 = 8.5[/tex]

x = -1:

[tex]y = -4.5(-1) - 0.5 = 4.5 - 0.5 = 4[/tex]

x = 0:

[tex]y = -4.5(0) - 0.5 = 0 - 0.5 = -0.5[/tex]

x = 1:

[tex]y = -4.5(1) - 0.5 = -4.5 - 0.5 = -5[/tex]

x = 2:

[tex]y = -4.5(2) - 0.5 = -9 - 0.5 = -9.5[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you want to simplify ...

  [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{7}}[/tex]

so the denominator is rational. It looks like the form you want is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{A\sqrt{2} + B\sqrt{3} + C\sqrt{7} + D\sqrt{E}}{F}[/tex]

And you want to know the sum A+B+C+D+E+F.

__

We can start by multiplying numerator and denominator by a conjugate of the denominator. Then we can multiply numerator and denominator by a conjugate of the resulting denominator.

  [tex]\displaystyle =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{7}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{7}}=\frac{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{7}}{2\sqrt{6}-2}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{7}}{2\sqrt{6}-2}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{6}+1}{\sqrt{6}+1}=\frac{(1+\sqrt{6})(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{7})}{10}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{7}+2\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{42}}{10}=\frac{4\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{42}}{10}[/tex]

Comparing this to the desired form we have ...

  A = 4, B = 3, C = -1, D = -1, E = 42, F = 10

Then the sum is ...

  A +B +C +D +E +F = 4 + 3 -1 -1 +42 +10 = 59 -2 = 57

The sum of interest is 57.

The area of the rectangular board which is 1400 millimeters long and 900 millimeters wide is 1.26 square meters.

What is the area of a rectangular board?

If x and y be the length and width of a rectangular board respectively, then the area of that rectangular board is xy square unit.

How to solve this problem?

Since 1000 millimeters = 1 meter.

i.e. 1 millimeter = 1/1000 meter.

Now, length of the board = 1400 millimeters = 1400/1000 meters = 1.4 meters

Width of the board = 900 millimeters = 900/1000 meters = 0.9 meter

Area of the board = 1.4 * 0.9 = 1.26 square meters.

Therefore, the area of the rectangular board which is 1400 millimeters long and 900 millimeters wide is 1.26 square meters.
