If I'm right, the foreman said that it would take the average amount of time to complete a job-since 5 hours is the average amount of time that it takes Shawn and Ellie to complete a job.
The work:
6(Ellie)+4(Shawn)=10/2(number of variables)=5 hours. 
Hope I helped!

Answer:

\mu_{x} = 64, \sigma_{x} = 12.83

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu_{x} = \mu and standard deviation \sigma_{x} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 64, \sigma = 77, n = 36

So

\mu_{x} = 64, \sigma_{x} = \frac{77}{\sqrt{36}} = 12.83

During a backgammon game, Jimmy rolled two dice on the board. Find the probability that the sum obtained was greater than 8 give
True [87]

Answer:

<h2>2/3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on probability

Given that two dice are expected to give an outcome of sum greater than 8

But in the problem statement the first die is already settled since it is showing 6 already.

Now for the second die, the possible outcomes that will add up with the first die to produce a figure greater than 8 are (3,4,5,6)  

The probability of obtaining either of these numbers is 4/6= 2/3

<em>Having the first die settled, this means that the probability of obtaining a sum of 8 is 2/3</em>
