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

5) Derek was surfing through the internet for a good deal on t-shirts. Help Derek find the
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out which one is the best deal, for each one how much <em>one</em> t-shirt costs.

<u>First deal:</u>

3 t-shirts for $28.95

To figure out how much money one t-shirt would cost, you divide $28.95 by 3.

1 t-shirt = 28.95/3 = $9.65.

<u>Second deal:</u>

4 t-shirts for $39

Same thing as the last one, except since there are 4 t-shirts you divide $39 by 4.

1 t-shirt = 39/4 = $9.75

<u>Third deal:</u>

5 t-shirts for $49.95

This time you will divide 49.95 by 5.

1 t-shirt = 49.95/5 = $9.99

The last step is to compare the three deals, and since you are trying to find the one that costs the <em>least</em> you can see that the first deal is the best one, because $9.65 per shirt is cheaper than $9.75 and $9.99

You are planning to hire a full-time electrician who will work 40 hours per week. If you plan on giving this new hire three week
tresset_1 [31]

Option b) 1960 is the total number of hours the electrician worked.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that, the full-time electrician will work 40 hours per week.

So, we need to know the total number of hours he could work in twelve months which is one year.

Therefore, one year has a total of 365 days.

<u>To find the number of weeks in twelve months :</u>

Number of weeks = Total days in one year / 7 days of week

⇒ 365 / 7

⇒ 52.14 (approximately 52 weeks)

The number of weeks in twelve months is 52 weeks.

Now, of this 52 weeks, the three weeks are given as vacation.

The total number of weeks the electrician worked = 52 weeks - 3 weeks

⇒ 49 weeks.

The electrician worked for 49 weeks.

To calculate the total number of hours he worked = 49 weeks × 40 hours

⇒ 1960 hours.

Therefore, the  total number of hours the electrician worked is 1960 hours which is option b).
