Delta Airlines quotes a flight time of 2 hours for its flights from Cincinnati to Tampa, meaning that an on-time flight would ar

rive in 2 hours. Suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 1 hour 50min minutes and 135 minutes.a. Show the graph of the probability density function for flight time.b. What is the probability that the flight will be no more than 5 minutes late?c. What is the probability that the flight will be more than 10 minutes late?d. What is the expected flight time?

Answer:

a) Attached

b) P=0.60

c) P=0.80

d) The expected flight time is E(t)=122.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution is uniform between 1 hour and 50 minutes (110 min) and 135 min.

The height of the probability function will be:

h=\frac{1}{Max-Min}=\frac{1}{135-110} =\frac{1}{25}

Then the probability distribution can be defined as:

f(t)=\frac{1}{25}=0.04 \,\,\,\,\\\\t\in[110,135]

b) No more than 5 minutes late means the flight time is 125 or less.

The probability of having a flight time of 125 or less is P=0.60:

F(T

c) More than 10 minutes late means 130 minutes or more

The probability of having a flight time of 130 or more is P=0.80:

F(T>t)=1-0.04(t-110)\\\\F(T>130)=1-0.04*(130-110)=1-0.04*20=1-0.8=0.2

d) The expected flight time is E(t)=122.5

E(t)=\frac{1}{2}(max+min)= \frac{1}{2}(135+110)=\frac{1}{2}*245=122.5

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x – 5 and passes through the point (1, -3).
Svetradugi [14.3K]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\qquad \qquad y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-5

well then therefore

\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with slope of -1/3 and that passes through (1, -3 )

(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1})\implies y+3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3}-3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{8}{3}

As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $2 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. What is the minim
mamaluj [8]
This is simple , minus 50 from 100 and that gives you 50 left . then divide that by 2 and that gives you 25 . so the minimum number of sales required is 25 . hope this helps :)<span />
