In a road-paving process, asphalt mix is delivered to the hopper of the paver by trucks that haul the material from the batching

plant. The article "Modeling of Simultaneously Continuous and Stochastic Construction Activities for Simulation" (J. of Construction Engr. and Mgmnt., 2013: 1037-1045) proposed a normal distribution with mean value 8.46 min and standard deviation .913 min for the rv X 5 truck haul time.a. What is the probability that haul time will be at least 10 min? Will exceed 10 min?b. What is the probability that haul time will exceed 15 min?c. What is the probability that haul time will be between 8 and 10 min?d. What value c is such that 98% of all haul times are in the interval from 8.46 2 c to 8.46 1 c?e. If four haul times are independently selected, what is the probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 min?

Answer:

a) Probability that haul time will be at least 10 min = P(X ≥ 10) ≈ P(X > 10) = 0.0455

b) Probability that haul time be exceed 15 min = P(X > 15) = 0.000

c) Probability that haul time will be between 8 and 10 min = P(8 < X < 10) = 0.6460

d) The value of c is such that 98% of all haul times are in the interval from (8.46 - c) to (8.46 + c)

c = 2.12

e) If four haul times are independently selected, the probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 min = 0.1700

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal distribution problem with

Mean = μ = 8.46 min

Standard deviation = σ = 0.913 min

a) Probability that haul time will be at least 10 min = P(X ≥ 10)

We first normalize/standardize 10 minutes

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (10 - 8.46)/0.913 = 1.69

To determine the required probability

P(X ≥ 10) = P(z ≥ 1.69)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(X ≥ 10) = P(z ≥ 1.69) = 1 - (z < 1.69)

= 1 - 0.95449 = 0.04551

The probability that the haul time will exceed 10 min is approximately the same as the probability that the haul time will be at least 10 mins = 0.0455

b) Probability that haul time will exceed 15 min = P(X > 15)

We first normalize 15 minutes.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (15 - 8.46)/0.913 = 7.16

To determine the required probability

P(X > 15) = P(z > 7.16)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(X > 15) = P(z > 7.16) = 1 - (z ≤ 7.16)

= 1 - 1.000 = 0.000

c) Probability that haul time will be between 8 and 10 min = P(8 < X < 10)

We normalize or standardize 8 and 10 minutes

For 8 minutes

z = (x - μ)/σ = (8 - 8.46)/0.913 = -0.50

For 10 minutes

z = (x - μ)/σ = (10 - 8.46)/0.913 = 1.69

The required probability

P(8 < X < 10) = P(-0.50 < z < 1.69)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(8 < X < 10) = P(-0.50 < z < 1.69)

= P(z < 1.69) - P(z < -0.50)

= 0.95449 - 0.30854

= 0.64595 = 0.6460 to 4 d.p.

d) What value c is such that 98% of all haul times are in the interval from (8.46 - c) to (8.46 + c)?

98% of the haul times in the middle of the distribution will have a lower limit greater than only the bottom 1% of the distribution and the upper limit will be lesser than the top 1% of the distribution but greater than 99% of fhe distribution.

Let the lower limit be x'

Let the upper limit be x"

P(x' < X < x") = 0.98

P(X < x') = 0.01

P(X < x") = 0.99

Let the corresponding z-scores for the lower and upper limit be z' and z"

P(X < x') = P(z < z') = 0.01

P(X < x") = P(z < z") = 0.99

Using the normal distribution tables

z' = -2.326

z" = 2.326

z' = (x' - μ)/σ

-2.326 = (x' - 8.46)/0.913

x' = (-2.326×0.913) + 8.46 = -2.123638 + 8.46 = 6.336362 = 6.34

z" = (x" - μ)/σ

2.326 = (x" - 8.46)/0.913

x" = (2.326×0.913) + 8.46 = 2.123638 + 8.46 = 10.583638 = 10.58

Therefore, P(6.34 < X < 10.58) = 98%

8.46 - c = 6.34

8.46 + c = 10.58

c = 2.12

e) If four haul times are independently selected, what is the probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 min?

This is a binomial distribution problem because:

- A binomial experiment is one in which the probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials. (4 haul times are independently selected)

- It usually consists of a number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure. (Only 4 haul times are selected)

- The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another. (The probability that each haul time exceeds 10 minutes = 0.0455)

Probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 mins = P(X ≥ 1)

= P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 4 haul times are independently selected

x = Number of successes required = 0

p = probability of success = probability that each haul time exceeds 10 minutes = 0.0455

q = probability of failure = probability that each haul time does NOT exceeds 10 minutes = 1 - p = 1 - 0.0455 = 0.9545

P(X = 0) = ⁴C₀ (0.0455)⁰ (0.9545)⁴⁻⁰ = 0.83004900044

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - 0.83004900044 = 0.16995099956 = 0.1700

Hope this Helps!!!

PLZ HELP I BEEN SUCK FOE SO LONG PLZ RIGHT ANSWER I WILL CRY
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

40 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, one is given the ratio ( 8 : 3 ), since a ratio is another way of writing a fraction one can rewrite it as; \frac{8}{3} (8) represent the number of students who want to learn about magnets, and (3) represents the number of students who want to learn about magic tricks.

In the problem, it is also given that 25 more students wanted to learn about magnets compared to magic tricks. If one uses the parameter (x) to represent the factor by which the fraction \frac{8}{3} is reduced, then one can get the equation;

8x = 3x + 25

Use inverse operations to solve,

8x = 3x + 25

-3x

5x = 25

/5

x = 5

Substitute back in to find out how many students want to learn about magnets,

8x

= 8(5)

= 40

In two or more complete sentences explain how you would set up and solve the equation: Dan and Rick belong to different gyms. Da
olga55 [171]
The equation would be 40+15p=70+5p. You would subtract 5p from each side (15-5) and (5-5) and you'll have 40+10p=70. You would then subtract 40 from each side (70-40) and (40-40) to have 10p=30. You would divide by both of the sides by 10, you would end up with p=3. P is price training. The reason you divide and subtract on both sides is because you want the months to be on one side and the price training on the other side.
