Yes, it certainly could ! When you first noticed that formula in a book, or when it was given to you in class, did you also notice or learn what it means ?

It means
"The sum of all the interior angles in a polygon" = (number of sides - 2) x 180.

Triangle ........ 3 sides ... (3 - 2) = 1 x 180 = 180° degrees ... 60° each if regular
Quadrilateral . 4 sides ... (4 - 2) = 2 x 180 = 360° degrees ... 90° each if regular
Pentagon ...... 5 sides ... (5 - 2) = 3 x 180 = 540° degrees ... 108° each if regular
Hexagon ....... 6 sides ... (6 - 2) = 4 x 180 = 720° degrees ... 120° each if regular
Sevenagon ... 7 sides ... (7 - 2) = 5 x 180 = 900° degrees ... 128 and 4/7 each if regular
Octagon ........ 8 sides ... (8 - 2) = 6 x 180 = 1080° degrees ... 135° each if regular
Nonagon ....... 9 sides ... (9 - 2) = 7 x 180 = 1260° degrees ... 140° each if regular

Suppose X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2]. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

(a) 3.75

(b) 2.00083

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2].

(a)

Compute the mean of X as follows:

$\mu_{X}=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{1.3+6.2}{2}=3.75$

(b)

Compute the variance of X as follows:

$\sigm^{2}_{X}=\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}=\frac{(6.2-1.3)^{2}}{12}=2.00083$

(c)

Compute the value of P(X < 3.7) as follows:

$P(X < 3.7)=\int\limits^{3.7}_{1.3}{\frac{1}{6.2-1.3}}\, dx\\\\=\frac{1}{4.9}\times [x]^{3.7}_{1.3}\\\\=\frac{3.7-1.3}{4.9}\\\\\approx 0.4898$

Thus, the value of P(X < 3.7) is 0.4898.

The number of responses to a survey are shown in the Pareto chart. The survey asked 1052 adults how they would grade the quality

Goryan [66]

Answer: (a) P(no A) = 0.935

(b) P(A and B and C) = 0.0005

(d) P(A or B) = 0.31

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Pareto</u> <u>Chart</u> demonstrates a relationship between two quantities, in a way that a relative change in one results in a change in the other.

The Pareto chart below shows the number of people and which category they qualified each public school.

(a) The probability of a person not giving an A is the difference between total probability (1) and probability of giving an A:

P(no A) = $1-\frac{68}{1052}$
