There are 46 students in an elementary statistics class. On the basis of years of experience, the instructor knows that the time

needed to grade a randomly chosen first examination paper is a random variable with an expected value of 5 min and a standard deviation of 4 min. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)(a) If grading times are independent and the instructor begins grading at 6:50 P.M. and grades continuously, what is the (approximate) probability that he is through grading before the 11:00 P.M. TV news begins?(b) If the sports report begins at 11:10, what is the probability that he misses part of the report if he waits until grading is done before turning on the TV?

Answer:

a) P ( T < 250 mins ) = 0.7695

b) P ( T > 260 mins ) = 0.1344

Step-by-step explanation:

- The RV from a sample has the following parameters that are mean = 5 mins, and standard deviation s = 4 mins.

- The entire population has n = 46 students.

- We will first compute the population mean u and population standard deviation σ as follows:

                            u = n*mean

                            u = 46*5 = 230 mins

                            σ = sqt ( n ) * s

                            σ = sqt ( 46 ) * 4

                            σ = 27.129 mins

- Approximating that the time taken T to grade the population of entire class follows a normal distribution with parameters u and σ as follows:

                            T~ N ( 230 , 27.129 )

Find:

- If grading times are independent and the instructor begins grading at 6:50 P.M. and grades continuously, what is the (approximate) probability that he is through grading before the 11:00 P.M. TV news begins?

- The total time till 6:50 PM to 11:00 PM is ( 4 hr and 10 mins ) = 250 mins.

- We will compute the Z-value as follows:

                        Z = ( 250 - 230 ) / 27.129

                        Z = 0.7372

- Then use the Z-Tables and determine the probability:

                        P ( T < 250 mins ) = P ( Z < 0.7372 )

                        P ( T < 250 mins ) = 0.7695

Find:

-  If the sports report begins at 11:10, what is the probability that he misses part of the report if he waits until grading is done before turning on the TV?

- For the teacher to miss the sports report he must take more time than 6:50 PM to 11:10 P.M.

- The total time till 6:50 PM to 11:10 PM is ( 4 hr and 20 mins ) = 260 mins.

- We will compute the Z-value as follows:

                        Z = ( 260 - 230 ) / 27.129

                        Z = 1.10582

- Then use the Z-Tables and determine the probability:

                        P ( T > 260 mins ) = P ( Z > 1.10582 )

                        P ( T > 260 mins ) = 0.1344

Select the relations that are functions.
liraira [26]

Answer:

option A, C  and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Each relation is a function if each input has only one output

{a, 1), (6, 1), (C, 1)

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

{a, a),(a, b),(a, c)}

This relation is not a function because input 'a' has only three output

{(1, a), (2, a),(3, a)}

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

{a, a), (b, b), (C, c)}

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

6. Blake went to the grocery store at 6:30PM, He returned to his house around 9:14PM after running
zhenek [66]
If you subtract the times periods form each you will be able to get your answer. So, 9:14-6:30 it will be 2 hours and 44 mins because from 6:30 to 7 it 30 mins, and from 7 to 9 it’s 2 hours. So far, add the two and you get 2h and 30mins and from 9 to 9:14 it’s 14 mins. So, 2h 30 mins plus 14 mins is 2h and 44mins.

3x + 7y = 21 –3x – 7y = 42<br> Solve the system of equations?
likoan [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations describe parallel lines. There are no values of x and y that will satisfy both equations.

In standard form, the two equations are ...

  3x +7y = 21

  3x +7y = -42 . . . . . with positive leading coefficient

If (x, y) values satisfy the first equation, they cannot satisfy the second equation, and vice versa.
