The set given by the project grade is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. If the random variable, X, is the project grade, the mean of the probability distribution is determined by:
Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +5
= 15
Mean of the probability distribution is 15/n, where n = 5
= 15/ 5
= 3
Answer:
He cuts off a section representing a percent of the current area so that the remaining area represents the next term in the pattern, rounded to nearest whole centimeter. The area after each cut is shown on the graph.
First, let's convert the givens to decimals to make calculations easier:
2 (3/4) = 2.75
9(5/8) = 9.625
We are given that:
Josie can hike 2.75 miles in one hour.
To know the time that Josie would take to hike 9.625 miles, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
2.75 miles ..........> 1 hour
9.625 miles .............> ?? hours
Time = (9.625*1) / (2.75) = 3.5 hours
