Answer:

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each stolen car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is recovered, or it is not. The probability of a stolen car being recovered is independent of other stolen cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

In this problem, we have that:

n = 300, p = 0.89

So

E(X) = np = 300*0.89 = 267

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300*0.89*0.11} = 5.42

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Felix

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph contains 3 segments,

first one is for the first 4minutes,

second one is for the next 2 minutes (standing still)

third one is for the last 2 minutes.

Only Felix has it right, the other students use absolute time in their statements, in stead of the difference between start and end. (e.g., from 4 to 6 is 2 minutes).
