Answer:
The shape and rate parameters are
and
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = service time for each individual.
The average service time is, <em>β</em> = 12 minutes.
The random variable follows an Exponential distribution with parameter,
.
The service time for the next 3 customers is,
<em>Z</em> = <em>X</em>₁ + <em>X</em>₂ + <em>X</em>₃
All the <em>X</em>
's are independent Exponential random variable.
The sum of independent Exponential random variables is known as a Gamma or Erlang random variable.
The random variable <em>Z</em> follows a Gamma distribution with parameters (<em>α</em>, <em>n</em>).
The parameters are:

Thus, the shape and rate parameters are
and
.
Answer:
B. No, this distribution does not appear to be normal
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
To observe what shape the data takes, it is best to make a graph. For me, the best type of graph is a histogram.
The first step to take is to calculate the classmark`for each of the given temperature intervals. Each class mark will be the midpoint of each bar.
As you can see in the graphic (2nd attachment) there are no values of frequency for the interval [40-44] and the rest of the data show asymmetry skewed to the left. Just because one of the intervals doesn't have an observed frequency is enough to say that these values do not meet the requirements to have a normal distribution.
The answer is B.
I hope it helps!
Answer: 3528.25
Step-by-step explanation:Make a sideview sketch
you should have 2 triangles, one right-angled containing the height and a scalene triangle with angles 24° , 153° (the supplement of 27°) and 3°
the side opposite the 3° angle is 1000
by let the side opposite the 24° be x, (also the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle)
x/sin24 = 1000/sin3
x = 1000sin24/sin3
let the height of the mountain be h
sin 27 = h/x
h = x sin27 = (1000sin24/sin3)(sin27)
= 3528.25
