The above is an estimation question. Estimation is when you judge the results obtained from a sample and make a rough calculation. The answer obtained might not be exactly right, its based on a judgement.

In this a sample was taken and out of 80 books, 6 of them were history books.
The assumption made then is that for every 80 books taken randomly , 6 of them will be history. Using this assumption ;
21 360 books in the library,
for every 80 books - 6 history books
then for 21 360 books - 6 / 80 * 21360
                                   =  1602 history books

What is an explicit equation?
artcher [175]
An explicit equation is an equation used to find a term in a sequence without using the any previous terms. For example, if I have the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, my explicit equation is F(n)=2(n-1)+1. If I plug 1 in for n, I get F(1)= 2(0)+1, which is 1, my first term.

Hope this made sense.

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 46.0 and 56.
barxatty [35]

Answer: 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Interval for uniform distribution : [46.0 minutes, 56.0 minutes]

The probability density function will be :-

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{56-46}=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1\ \ , 46

The probability that a given class period runs between 50.75 and 51.25 minutes is given by :-

P(50.75

Hence, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.75 and 51.25 minutes = 0.05
