Answer:

P(A ∩ B) = 0.

a) NO

b) YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking about this through Venn diagrams we can sort of understand that:

if P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.2, and P(A∪B) = 0.4.

there's no overlapping between P(A) and P(B).

(If there was overlapping then P(A∪B) < 0.4, since you'd be excluding the overlapped part from getting counted twice.

Think of it in terms of calculating areas circles A and B, if the circles were disjoint, then the sum of the areas A and B would be 0.2+0.2. But if the circles were overlapping then the sum of the areas would be 0.2+0.2-P(A ∩ B), where P(A ∩ B) is the overlapping part)

since there's no overlapping P(A ∩ B) = 0.

a) NO

events A and B are only independent when P(A ∩ B) > 0 (or overlapping)

b) YES

events A and B are mutually exclusive when P(A ∩ B) = 0 (or disjoint)

Add an intersection the red light times normally distributed by the mean of three minutes and a standard deviation of .25 minute
Soloha48 [4]

95% of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In this case,

  • The mean M is 3 and
  • The standard deviation SD is given as 0.25

Assume the bell shaped graph of normal distribution,

The center of the graph is mean which is 3 minutes.

We move one space to the right side of mean ⇒ M + SD

⇒ 3+0.25 = 3.25 minutes.

Again we move one more space to the right of mean ⇒ M + 2SD

⇒ 3 + (0.25×2) = 3.5 minutes.

Similarly,

Move one space to the left side of mean ⇒ M - SD

⇒ 3-0.25 = 2.75 minutes.

Again we move one more space to the left of mean ⇒ M - 2SD

⇒ 3 - (0.25×2) =2.5 minutes.

The questions asks to approximately what percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes.

Notice 2.5 and 3.5 fall within 2 standard deviations, and that 95% of the data is within 2 standard deviations. (Refer to bell-shaped graph)

Therefore, the percent of  red lights that last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes is 95%

The annual 2-mile fun-run is a traditional fund-raising event to support local arts and sciences activities. It is known that th
victus00 [196]

Answer: 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The  mean and the standard deviation of finish times (in minutes) for this event are respectively as :-

\mu=30\\\\\sigma=5.5

If the distribution of finish times is approximately bell-shaped and symmetric, then it must be normally distributed.

Let X be the random variable that represents the finish times for this event.

z score : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\dfrac{19-30}{5.5}=-2

Now, the probability of runners who finish in under 19 minutes by using standard normal distribution table :-

P(X

Hence, the approximate proportion of runners who finish in under 19 minutes = 0.0228

How would you do a,b,c,and d
I am Lyosha [343]

a) You are told the function is quadratic, so you can write cost (c) in terms of speed (s) as

... c = k·s² + m·s + n

Filling in the given values gives three equations in k, m, and n.

28 = k\cdot 10^2+m\cdot 10+n\\21=k\cdot 20^2+m\cdot 20+n\\16=k\cdot 30^2+m\cdot 30+n

Subtracting each equation from the one after gives

-7=300k+10m\\-5=500k+10m

Subtracting the first of these equations from the second gives

2=200k\\\\k=\dfrac{2}{200}=0.01

Using the next previous equation, we can find m.

-5=500\cdot 0.01+10m\\\\m=\dfrac{-10}{10}=-1

Then from the first equation

[tex]28=100\cdot 0.01+10\cdot (-1)+n\\\\n=37[tex]

There are a variety of other ways the equation can be found or the system of equations solved. Any way you do it, you should end with

... c = 0.01s² - s + 37

b) At 150 kph, the cost is predicted to be

... c = 0.01·150² -150 +37 = 112 . . . cents/km

c) The graph shows you need to maintain speed between 40 and 60 kph to keep cost at or below 13 cents/km.

d) The graph has a minimum at 12 cents per km. This model predicts it is not possible to spend only 10 cents per km.
