A worker at a landscape design center uses a machine to fill bags with potting soil. Assume that the quantity put in each bag fo

llows the continuous uniform distribution with low and high filling weights of 10 pounds and 12 pounds, respectively. a. Calculate the expected value and the standard deviation of this distribution. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Standard deviation" answer to 4 decimal places.) Expected value Standard deviation b. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected bag is no more than 11 pounds. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Probability c. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected bag is at least 10.5 pounds. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

a) The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\frac{a+b}{2}= \frac{10+12}{2}= 11

The variance is given by:

Var(X) = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}= \frac{(12-10)^2}{12}= 0.3333

And the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance and we got:

Sd(x) = \sqrt{0.3333}= 0.5774

b) P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this function we got:

P(X

c) P(X>10.5)

And using the complement rule and the cumulative distribution function we got:

P(X>10.5)= 1-P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X=quantity put in each bag , and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a= 10, b =12)

Part a

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\frac{a+b}{2}= \frac{10+12}{2}= 11

The variance is given by:

Var(X) = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}= \frac{(12-10)^2}{12}= 0.3333

And the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance and we got:

Sd(x) = \sqrt{0.3333}= 0.5774

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this function we got:

P(X

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X>10.5)

And using the complement rule and the cumulative distribution function we got:

P(X>10.5)= 1-P(X

At the county fair, Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts for $11.33. He can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 ba
Ksenya-84 [330]
Let c represents the cost of a candy apple and b represents the cost of a bag of peanuts.

Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 3c + 4b. Darius can buy 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts in $11.33,so we can write the equation as: 

3c + 4b = 11.33   (1)

Darius can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 9c + 5b. Darius can buy 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts in $23.56,so we can write the equation as: 

9c + 5b = 23.56   (2)

<span>Darius decides to purchase 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts. The total cost in this case will be 2c + 3b. To find this first we need to find the cost of each candy apple and bag of peanuts by solving the above two equations.

Multiplying equation 1 by three and subtracting equation 2 from it, we get:

3(3c + 4b) - (9c + 5b) = 3(11.33) - 23.56

9c + 12b - 9c - 5b = 10.43

7b = 10.43

b = $1.49

Using the value of b in equation 1, we get:

3c + 4(1.49) = 11.33

3c = 5.37

c = $ 1.79

Thus, cost of one candy apple is $1.79 and cost of one bag of peanuts is $1.49.

So, 2c + 3b = 2(1.79) + 3(1.49) = $ 8.05

Therefore, Darius can buy 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts in $8.05</span>

the area of a rectangle is 42.15 square meters. if the length is 21 meters, what is perimeters of the rectangle?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

perimeters of the rectangle=p=46.014 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length (l) = 21 m

Area of rectangle(A) = 42.15 meter-square

Width (w)=?

Required data:

Perimater of Rectangle=p=?

Calculation:

As we know that Area of rectangle=A=l*w

Putting the value we get

42.15 m(square)=(21 m)*w

or w=42.15/21

or w=2.007 m

Now to find perimters of rectangle we know that

p=2(l + w) metres

putting the values

p=2(21+2.007) metres

p=2(23.007) metres

p=46.014 metres

Three times the square of a nonzero number is equal to twelve times the number.
dedylja [7]
Well if you write the statement as an equation then that will get you

3*x^2 = 12x

Now we just solve.  You can divide both sides by 3x and that gives you x = 4
