(a) No doubt your textbook tells you that for a uniform distribution on the interval [a, b]:
.. mean = (a+b)/2 = (2.5 +30)/2 = 16.25
.. variance = (b -a)^2/12 = 27.5^2/12 = 63 1/48
(b) Likewise, from your text
.. p(x) = (x-a)/(b-a) = (x -2.5)/27.5
.. cdf(x) = p(x)^2 = (x -2.5)^2/756.25 . . . cumulative distribution function
(c) cdf(15) ≈ 0.2066 . . . . . . . . . . . probability of being 15 or less
.. cdf(20) -cdf(15) ≈ 0.1983 . . . . . probability of being between 15 and 20
(d) cdf(μ+σ) -cdf(μ-σ) ≈ 0.5774 . . . probability of being withing 1σ of the mean
.. cdf(μ+2σ) -cdf(μ-2σ) = 1 . . . . . . . the entire distribution is within 2σ of the mean
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
2 - 2 = 0, not a positive integer.
2 - 3 = -1, a negative integer.
Obviously, the difference is only positive if the number being subtracted is smaller than the number it is being subtracted from.
Yes she does if she has three times as many prizes as students
Answer:
Theodore's
the interest rate in Theodore's bank is higher
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational investor would want to invest in a bank that offers a higher interest rate because more money is usually preferred to less money.
If the same amount, 1500 was deposited in both banks,
interest in Theodore's bank after 4 years = 1500 x 0.042 x 4 = $252
$252 would be preferred to the $216 earned at Bella's bank
