Let X1, X2, and X3 represent the times necessary to perform three successive repair tasks at a service facility. Suppose they ar

e normal random variables with means of 50 minutes, 60 minutes, and 40 minutes, respectively. The standard deviations are 15 minutes, 20 minutes, and 10 minutes, respectively. a Suppose X1, X2, and X3 are independent. All three repairs must be completed on a given object. What is the mean and variance of the total repair time for this object.

Answer:

The mean of the total repair time is 150 minutes.

The variance of the total repair time is 725 minutes^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the properties of the mean and the variance. Our random variable is the sum of 3 normal variables.

In the case, for the mean, we have that the mean of the sum of 3 normal variables is equal to the sum of the mean of the 3 variables:

y=x_1+x_2+x_3 \\\\E(y)=E(x_1+x_2+x_3)=E(x_1)+E(x_2)+E(x_3)\\\\E(y)=50+60+40=150

For the variance, we apply the property for the sum of independent variables (the correlation between the variables is 0):

V(y)=V(x_1)+V(x_2)+V(x_3)\\\\V(y)=s_1^2+s_2^2+s_3^2\\\\V(y)=15^2+20^2+10^2\\\\V(y)=225+400+100\\\\V(y)=725

Which statement most reasonably explains the hours when zero calls were received? Medera turned the phone off while playing in a
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Medera turned the phone off while playing in a soccer game.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the possible scenarios provided the one that would indicate this would be when Medera turned the phone off while playing in a soccer game. This is because since her phone was off it was not getting any phone signal which means that no incoming calls would have been received during that time. When Medara lost her phone for two hours, even though she did not have it on her the phone was still on and connected to a network which means that the calls were coming in.

What is the area of the largest rectangle with lower base on the x-axis and upper vertices on the curve y = 12 - x2? (4 points)
wolverine [178]

Answer: 16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

let the vertex in quadrant I be (x,y)  

then the vertex in quadratnt II is (-x,y)  

base of the rectangle = 2x  

height of the rectangle = y  

Area = xy  

= x(12 - x²)  

= -x³ + 12x  

d(area)/dx = 3x² - 12 = 0 for a maximum of area  

3x² = 12  

x² = 4  

x = ±2  

y = 12-4 = 8

So, the largest area = 2 x 8 = 16 square units
