Answer:

1 time unit

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 1 in 3 chance that the time until the bulb burns out is zero, and a 2 in 3 chance that the time is the average between 0 and 3 (since it is uniformly distributed). Therefore, the expected value for the time until it burns is:

E(x) = \frac{1}{3}*0+\frac{2}{3} *\frac{0+3}{2}\\ E(X) = 1

The expected value of the time until the lightbulb burns out is 1 time unit.

A boat is 170 inches long. A truck is 80% longer than the truck.How long is the truck?
Julli [10]

Answer:

306 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

80% = 0.8

170 inches × 80% = 170 × 0.8 = 136

The truck is 80% longer than the boat. 80% of the boat is 136.

So, the boat is 170 inches + 136 inches = 306 inches.
