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

Why might the range not be the best estimate of variability?
Zinaida [17]
It may be because the range isn't actually considered an average, it's shown using a box and whiskers diagram, Mode is the most common number. Mean is all the numbers added up and divided by the amount of values there are in the adding up process. so overall the range is less useful to show variability as it only shows the lowest and highest number in the data, and not the different individual numbers variety amongst the results
