Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For the person to get to New York city, the person must arrive at a time after the train to Boston has left and before the train to New York leaves. Between 7 and 8 am, there is a total of 60 minutes. For the person end up in New York city he has to arrive at the train station between the following intervals:

7:05 to 7:15 or 7:20 to 7:30 or 7:35 to 7:45 or 7:50 to 8:00

Let X represent the minutes the passenger arrives between 7 am to 8 am, hence:

P(goes to New York) = P(5 < X < 15) + P(20 < X < 30) + P(35 < X < 45) + P(50 < X < 60) = 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 = 40/60 = 2/3

b) As explained in part A, Let X represent the minutes the passenger arrives between 7 am to 8:10 am. But since time uniformly distributed between 7:10 and 8:10 am, this means 10 < X < 70:

For the person end up in New York city he has to arrive at the train station between the following intervals:

7:10 to 7:15 or 7:20 to 7:30 or 7:35 to 7:45 or 7:50 to 8:00 or 8:05 to 8:10

P(goes to New York) = P(10 < X < 15) + P(20 < X < 30) + P(35 < X < 45) + P(50 < X < 60) + P(65< X <70)= 5/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 5/60= 40/60 = 2/3

Ilang metro ang 1300 sentimetro?<br><br>a. 1metro<br>b. 13 metro<br>c. 130 metro​
Pie

Answer:

1300 cm = 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find meters in 1300 cm.

We know that,

1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = (1/100) m

It means,

1300\ cm=\dfrac{1300}{100}\ m\\\\=13\ m

Hence, there are 13 m in 1300 cm.
