Two college roommates have each committed to donating to charity each week for the next year. The roommates’ weekly incomes are

independent of each other. Suppose the amount donated in a week by one roommate is approximately normal with mean $30 and standard deviation $10, and the amount donated in a week by the other roommate is approximately normal with mean $60 and standard deviation $20. Which of the following is closest to the expected number of weeks in a 52-week year that their combined donation will exceed $120 ?0; the combined donation never exceeds $120 in a weekA1 weekB3 weeksC5 weeksD8 weeks

Answer:

C. 5 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have a random variable that is equal to the sum of two normal-distributed random variables.

If we have two random variables X and Y, both normally distributed, the sum will have this properties:

S=X+Y\\\\\ \mu_S=\mu_X+\mu_Y=30+60=90\\\\\sigma_S=\sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2}=\sqrt{10^2+20^2}=\sqrt{100+400}=\sqrt{500}=22.36

To calculate the expected weeks that the donation exceeds $120, first we can calculate the probability of S>120:

z=\frac{S-\mu_S}{\sigma_S} =\frac{120-90}{22.36}=\frac{30}{22.36}=1.34\\\\P(S>120)=P(z>1.34)=0.09012

The expected weeks can be calculated as the product of the number of weeks in the year (52) and this probability:

E=\#weeks*P(S>120)=52*0.09012=4.68

The nearest answer is C. 5 weeks.

Find the measure of the central angle of a sector if its area is 5 pi and the radius is 6
lesantik [10]
For this case we use the following formula
 Area of Sector = Area * radians of sector / 2 * pi radians
 Where,
 Area: it is the area of the complete circle.
 We have then:
 Area = pi * r ^ 2
 Area = pi * (6) ^ 2
 Area = 36pi
 Substituting values:
 5pi = 36pi * radians of sector / 2 * pi
 Clearing:
 radians of sector = ((5pi) * (2pi)) / (36pi)
 radians of sector = (10pi ^ 2) / (36pi)
 radians of sector = (10pi) / (36)
 radians of sector = (10/36) pi
 radians of sector = (5/18) pi
 in degrees:
 (5/18) pi * (180 / pi) = 50 degrees
 Answer:
 The measure of the central angle is:
 50 degrees
