The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes

for the bus to get to school is 20 minutes (with a standard deviation of 4 minutes). the distributions are normal.
a. how long will it take (in minutes), on average, to get to school?

b. what is the standard deviation of the trip to school?

c. what is the probability that it will take longer than 30 minutes to get to school? due to a miscalculation, you realize it actually takes an average of 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop.

d. how long will it take (in minutes), on average, to get to school?

e. what is the standard deviation of the trip to school? f. what is the probability that it will take longer than 30 minutes to get to school

(a) Average time to get to school
Average time (minutes) = Summation of the two means = mean time to walk to bus stop + mean time for the bust to get to school = 8+20 = 28 minutes

(b) Standard deviation of the whole trip to school
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (Summation of variances)

Variance = Standard deviation ^2
Therefore,
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (2^2+4^2) = Sqrt (20) = 4.47 minutes

(c) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
P(x>30) = 1-P(x=30)
Z(x=30) = (mean-30)/SD = (28-30)/4.47 ≈ -0.45
Now, P(x=30) = P(Z=-0.45) = 0.3264
Therefore,
P(X>30) = 1-P(X=30) = 1-0.3264 = 0.6736 = 67.36%

With actual average time to walk to the bus stop being 10 minutes;

(d) Average time to get to school
Actual average time to get to school = 10+20 = 30 minutes

(e) Standard deviation to get to school
Actual standard deviation = Previous standard deviation = 4.47 minutes. This is due to the fact that there are no changes with individual standard deviations.

(f) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
Z(x=30) = (mean - 30)/Sd = (30-30)/4.47 = 0/4.47 = 0

From Z table, P(x=30) = 0.5
And therefore, P(x>30) = 1- P(X=30) = 1- P(Z=0.0) = 1-0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

Suppose you have a bag of colored plastic disks and you choose one without looking. The probability the disk you choose is yello
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability that the disk chosen is 5/25, thus can be written in decimal as 0.2.

This means that in a bag of 15 colored plastics discs with different colors, the probability of picking a yellow colored disk is 0.2.

How cos π/3=1/2?<br>having some problems learning continuity.
Bingel [31]

You can show that \cos\frac\pi3=\frac12 by constructing a triangle.

Take two points, O(0, 0) and A(1, 0), and let B be the point on the unit circle such that the angle between the line segments OA and OB is \frac\pi3 radians.

Since both A and B lie on the circle, the line segments OA and OB both have length 1 (same as the circle's radius). We finish constructing the triangle by connect A and B.

Since OB and OA have the same length, triangle OAB is isosceles, but more than that, it's also equilateral. Why? Because the interior angles of any triangle always add to \pi radians. We know one of the angles is \frac\pi3 radians, which leaves a contribution of \frac{2\pi}3 radians between the remaining angles A and B. Angles A and B must be congruent (because OAB is isosceles), which means they also have measure \frac\pi3 radians.

Next, draw an altitude of the triangle through point B, and label the point where it meets the "base" OA, C. Since OAB is equilateral, the altitude BC is also a perpendicular bisector. That means OC has length \frac12, and by definition of \cos we have

\cos\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac{OC}{OB}=\dfrac{\frac12}1=\dfrac12

Explain how solving 8+2 can help you solve 80+20.
katrin [286]
Becuase 80 is the same as 8 but has an extra 0 at the end (which makes it 80) and same for 20 to 2. 8 + 2 = 10 (now add a zero at the end). The answer should be 100.
