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

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

8 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be l and s.

We have equations:

l = 5s + 18

3l + 4s = 16

Solve for s by substituting l into the second equation:

3(5s + 18) + 4s = 16

15s + 54 + 4s = 16

19s = 16 - 54

19s = -38

s = -38/19

s = -2

Find the value of l:

l = 5(-2) + 18

l = -10 + 18

l = 8

Answer:

Area of a triangle formula is 1/2 x base x height

Area of the garden = 1/2 x 25 x 10 = 125 square feet.

1 bag covers 10 square feet, divide total area by 10"

125 / 10 = 12.5

She will need to buy 13 bags.
