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%

Answer:

≈ 30.63 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is calculated by subtracting the area of the inner circle from the area of the outer circle.

outer circle has radius = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 and inner circle has radius = 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5

shaded area = πr₁² - πr₂² (r₁ is outer and r₂ is inner )

A = π (4² - 2.5²)

   = π(16 - 6.25) = 9.75π ≈ 30.63 cm²

The logarithm of 10 to base 10 is 1

<h3>How to determine the logarithm?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Base = 10

Number = 10

So, the expression is:

\log_{10}10

As a general rule;

\log_{a}a = 1

The above means that;

When the base and the number are the same, the logarithm is 1

So, we have:

\log_{10}10 = 1

Hence, the logarithmic value is 1

A right triangle has a leg b of length 7 and a hypotenuse of length 11 what is the length of the other leg a?
N76 [4]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 7^2 = 11^2
49= 121
121 - 49 = 72

Square root(72) = 8.49
or you can just keep the square root symbol with 72 under it
