Using a discrete probability distribution, it is found that there is a 0.15 = 15% probability that it will take more than 9 minutes for all the customers currently in line to check out.

<h3>What is the discrete probability distribution?</h3>

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that the distribution for the number of customers in line at the store is given by:

  • P(X = 0) = 0.2;
  • P(X = 1) = 0.15;
  • P(X = 2) = 0.30;
  • P(X = 3) = 0.20;
  • P(X = 4) = 0.10;
  • P(X = 5) = 0.05;

Hence, since each customer takes 3 minutes to check out, the probability that it will take more than 9 minutes for all the customers currently in line to check out is the probability that there are more than 3 customers, hence:

P(X > 3) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.10 + 0.05 = 0.15.

0.15 = 15% probability that it will take more than 9 minutes for all the customers currently in line to check out.

A. The slope is 3.75 because that’s how much the total cost is increasing by when a drink is being added
B. The y-intercept is 6.25 because that is the total cost when the number of drinks(x) is zero.
C. y=3.75x+6.25

A trapezoid has a height of 8 cm and bases with lengths of 14 cm and 8 cm. Tina says the area of the trapezoid is 176 cm2.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do this properly:

                                 

Area of trapezoid =  average length times height.

Here,

Area = (1/2)(8 cm + 14 cm)(8 cm), or

         = (11 cm)(8 cm) = 88 cm^2

It appears that Tina forgot to divide the sum of 14 cm and 8 cm by 2.  Thus, her answer is twice as large as it should be.

The formula for the lateral area of a right cone is LA = rs, where r is the radius of the base and s is the slant height of the
damaskus [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the lateral area of a right cone is :

LA = rs

Where

r is the radius of the base and s is the slant height of the cone

Equivalent expression,

r=\dfrac{LA}{s}

or

s=\dfrac{LA}{r}

Hence, this is the required solution.
