Answer:

a) 0.4

b) 0.6            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The time students wait for a bus can be described by a uniform random variable X, where X is between 5 minutes and 75 minutes.

a = 5, b = 75

Then,

f(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{b-a} = \frac{1}{75-5} = \frac{1}{70}

We are given a uniform distribution.

a) P(student will wait between 5 and 33 minutes)

P( 5 < x < 33)

=\displaystyle\int_{33}^{5} f(x) dx\\\\=\displaystyle\int_{33}^{5} \frac{1}{70}dx\\\\=\frac{1}{70}[x]_{33}^{5} = \frac{1}{70}(33-5) = 0.4

b) P(a student will have to wait at least 33 minutes)

P(33 < x < 75)

=\displaystyle\int_{75}^{33} f(x) dx\\\\=\displaystyle\int_{75}^{33} \frac{1}{70}dx\\\\=\frac{1}{70}[x]_{75}^{33} = \frac{1}{70}(75-33) = 0.6

A square and a rectangle have equal area.The rectangle is 64 cm by 81 cm. What is the perimeter of the square?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

2592 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

square area = x²

rectangle area = bh

so

x² = bh

since the areas are equal

b and h are in the problem as 64 and 81

x² = 64x81

x² = 5184

divide by 2

x = 2592 cm

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

95

Step-by-step explanation:

t_n =  {n}^{2}  - 5 \\  \therefore \: t_{10} =  {10}^{2}  - 5 \\ \therefore \: t_{10} = 100  - 5 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: t_{10} = 95 }}\\

10th term of the sequence is 95.

Priya has a recipe for banana bread. She uses 7/1/2 cups of flour to make 3 loaves of banana bread. Andre will follow the same r
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

5b=2f

Step-by-step explanation:

Priya uses 7\dfrac{1}{2} cups of floor to make 3 loaves of banana bread.

Andre will follow the same recipe. He will make b loaves of banana bread using f cups of flour.

To find the relation between b and f, the steps are as follows :

\dfrac{\text{cups of flour}}{\text{loaves of banana bread}}=\dfrac{7 \dfrac{1}{2}}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{15}{2}}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{15}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}

It means,

\dfrac{f}{b}=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\5b=2f

So, the relationship between b and f is "5b=2f".
