A certain candle is designed to last nine hours. However, depending on the wind, air bubbles in the wax, the quality of the wax,

and the number of times the candle is re-lit, the actual burning time (in hours) is a uniform random variable with a = 5.5 and b = 9.5.
Suppose one of these candles is randomly selected.
(a) Find the probability that the candle burns at least six hours.
(b) Find the probability that the candle burns at most seven hours.
(c) Find the mean burning time. Find the probability that the burning time of a randomly selected candle will be within one standard deviation of the mean. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(d) Find a time t such that 25% of all candles burn longer than t hours.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P(X > 6) = (9.5-6)/(9.5-5.5) = 3.5/4 = 0.875

b) P(X < 7) = (7-5.5)/(9.5-5.5) = 1.5/4 = 0.375

c) E(X) = (9.5+5.5)/2 = 7.5

Standard deviation = (9.5-5.5)/sqrt(12) =4/3.46 = 1.154

P= 1.156*2/(9.5-5.5) = 2.308/4 = 0.577

d) P(X > t) = 0.25

 (9.5-t) /(9.5-5.5) = 0.3

9.5-t = 1.2

t = 9.5-1.2 = 8.3

The Kansas predicted that in 2018 the population in Centerville would be 17,466 and actuality it was 16,400 what is the percent
sammy [17]

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error formula =

|Estimated value - Real value|/Real value × 100

From the above question,

Estimated value = 17,466

Real value = 16,400

Percentage error = |17,466 - 16,400|/16,400 × 100

= 1066/16,400 × 100

= 0.065 × 100

= 6.5%

Therefore, the percent error = 6.5%

For #1
city A's mean would be 10.5, then you would divide it by the number of numbers there is which is 5,So 10.5/5 is 2.1

city B's mean would be 11.6  then you would divide it by the number of numbers there is which is 5, So 11.6/5 is 2.32.

thats all I have don't know how to do #3 sorry
