Answer:

The longer part is <u>45 cm</u> long and the shorter part is <u>25 cm</u> long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 70 cm long stick is cut into two parts in such a way that the longer part is 20 cm longer than the shorter part.

Now, to find the length of each part of the stick.

Let the shorter part be x.

So, the longer part is x+20.

Total length of the stick = 70 cm.

Now, to get the length of each part we solve an equation:

(x)+(x+20)=70\\\\x+x+20=70\\\\2x+20=70\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 20\ we\ get:\\\\2x=50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\ we\ get:\\\\x=25.

<em>The length of the shorter part is 25 cm.</em>

Now, substituting the value of x:

x+20\\\\=25+20\\\\=45\ cm.

<em>The length of longer part is 45 cm.</em>

Therefore, the longer part is 45 cm long and the shorter part is 25 cm long.

The time to fly between New York City and Chicago is uniformly distributed with a minimum of 120 minutes and a maximum of 150 mi
lara [203]

Answer:

a) 33.33%)

b) 135 minutes

c) 8.66 min

d) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the probability for a uniform distribution is

P(b<X<a) = (a-b)/(c-d) , where c and d are the maximum and minimum values

therefore the probability that the flight is more than 140 minutes ( and less than 150 since it is the maximum value)

P(140<X<150) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (150-140)/(150-120) = 10/30 = 1/3 (33.33%)

b) the mean (expected value) for a uniform probability distribution is

E(X) = (c+d)/2 = (120+150)/2 = 135 minutes

c)  the standard deviation for a uniform probability distribution is

σ²(X)= (c-d)²/12 = (150-120)²/12 = 75 min²

σ = √75 min² = 8.66 min

b) following the same procedure as in a)

P(120<X<135) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (135-120)/(150-120) = 15/30 = 1/2 (50%)
