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 bathtub is in the shape of a rectangular prism. its dimensions are 5 feet by 3 feet by 18 inches. the bathtub is three-fourths
crimeas [40]
The bathtub has dimensions 5 ft by 3 ft by 18 inches.
Note that 18 inches = 18/12 = 1.5 ft.

The volume of the bathtub is
V = 5*3*1.5 = 22.5 ft³

The bathtub is three-fourths (0.75) full of water. Therefore the volume of water is
0.75*22.5 = 16.875 ft³

The water is lost at the rate of 1 ft³/min.
If it takes x minutes to empty the bathtub, then
(1 ft³/min)*(x min) = (16.875 ft³)
x = 16.875 min

Answer: 16.875 minutes

What is the slope of the line that contains the points in the table?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The boxes with whole numbers in them written as coordinates:

(-4, -11)

(8, -8)

we know gradient is rise over run, or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

gradient = (-8 - -11) / (8 - -4)

gradient = 3 / 12

gradient = ¼

Mrs. Alberts built a pen for her dogs. The pen was 12.5 feet by 7 feet and had a concrete floor. If the concrete floor costs $12
dybincka [34]

Answer: Mrs. Alberts spent $1,050 on the floor.

Step-by-step explanation: First lets find the area to get the total amount of square feet by multiply length by width.

12.5 x 7 = 87.5 square ft.

We know that it costs $12 per square foot, and we have 87.5 square feet.

So, multiply 12 by 87.5 to find the cost that Mrs, Alberts will spend on the floor.

12 x 87.5 = 1050, or $1,050 for the total area of the floor.
