Answer:

(a) The probability that a student requires more than 51 minutes to complete the quiz is 0.1667.

(b) The probability that a student completes the quiz in a time between 35 and 42 minutes is 0.2917.

(c) The probability that a student completes the quiz in exactly 41.84 minutes is 0.0417.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz.

The random variable <em>X</em> is uniformly distributed with parameters <em>a</em> = 31 minutes and <em>b</em> = 55 minutes.  

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{b-a};\ a

(a)

Compute the probability that a student requires more than 51 minutes to complete the quiz as follows:

P(X>51)=\int\limits^{55}_{51} {\frac{1}{55-31}}}\, dx=\frac{1}{24} |x|^{55}_{51}=\frac{55-51}{24}=0.1667

Thus, the probability that a student requires more than 51 minutes to complete the quiz is 0.1667.

(b)

Compute the probability that a student completes the quiz in a time between 35 and 42 minutes as follows:

P(35

Thus, the probability that a student completes the quiz in a time between 35 and 42 minutes is 0.2917.

(c)

Compute the probability that a student completes the quiz in exactly 41.84 minutes as follows:

Apply continuity correction as follows:

P (X = 41.84) = P (41.84 - 0.50 < X < 41.84 + 0.50)

                     = P (41.34 < X < 42.34)

=\int\limits^{42.34}_{41.34} {\frac{1}{55-31}}}\, dx=\frac{1}{24} |x|^{42.34}_{41.34}=\frac{42.34-41.34}{24}=0.0417

Thus, the probability that a student completes the quiz in exactly 41.84 minutes is 0.0417.

Write an<br> explicit formula for<br> then<br> th<br> an.<br> term of the sequence 45, 15,5. ....
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The sequence above is a geometric sequence

For an nth in a geometric sequence

u(n) = a {r}^{n - 1}

where n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 45

r = 15 / 45

The explicit formula for the sequence is

U(n) = 45(1/3)^n-1

Hope this helps you

4. 46 is what percent of 69?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

66%(technically 0.66 repeating)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out what percentage of 69 equates to 46. In other words, we need to figure out what percentage <u>times</u> 69 equals 46:

percentage*69 = 46

Now that we formed this equation, we can solve for the percentage as if it was x.

First lets simplfy:

percentage*69 = 46 -- > 69percentage = 46

Now we can solve for x just by getting x alone, which means we must remove the coefficent. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 69:

percentage = \frac{46}{69}

=

percentage=0.66

Putting this into the form of percentage, we must multiply by 100. Since, the percentage form of a decimal is 100 times bigger(moved up 2 decimal places):

percentage = 0.66*100

=

percentage = 66%

Hope this helps! :3
