The following data were collected by counting the number of operating rooms in use atTampa general Hospital over a 20-day period

: On three of the days only one operatingroom was used, on five of the days two were used, on eight of the days three were used,and on four days all four of the hospital’s operating rooms were used.
a. Use the relative frequency approach to construct an empirical discrete probabilitydistribution for the number of operating rooms in use on any given day.b. Draw a graph of the probability distribution.c. Show that your probability distribution satisfies the required conditions for a validdiscrete probability distribution.

Answer:

a)

Operating room x    1         2      3       4

P(x)                          0.15  0.25  0.4   0.2

b)

The graph of probability distribution is in attached image.

c)

All the probabilities lies in the range (0 to 1) and the probabilities add up to 1 so, the computed probability distribution is the valid probability distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of operating rooms   Days

1                                                  3

2                                                 5

3                                                 8

4                                                 4

a)

Sum of frequencies=1+2+3+4=10

Operating rooms x   frequency f  Relative frequency

1                                    3                    3/20=0.15

2                                   5                   5/20=0.25

3                                   8                   8/20=0.4

4                                   4                   4/20=0.2

So, using the relative frequency approach, a discrete probability distribution for number of operating rooms in use on any given day is

Operating room x    1         2      3       4

P(x)                          0.15  0.25  0.4   0.2

b)

The graph of probability distribution is in attached image.

c)

There are two conditions for a probability distribution to be valid

1. All probability must ranges from 0 to 1.

2. All probabilities must add up to 1.

We can see that all the probabilities lies in the range (0 to 1), so, condition 1 is satisfied.

For condition 2,

sum[p(x)]= 0.15+0.25+0.4+0.2=0.4+0.6=1.

As the probabilities add up to 1, so the condition 2 is also satisfied.

Thus, the computed probability distribution is the valid probability distribution.

A rental car company charges $0.50 per mile and a flat rate of $30.00 for any type of sedan. If m represents the number of miles
Umnica [9.8K]
The equation to this would be $0.50m+$30.00=130 because each mile is $0.50 and m would represent as how many miles it well and then adding $30.00 because it’s the flat rate.

Assume a healthy heart beats exactly 70 times per minute. If an individual lives to age 85 years, estimate the number of heartbe
den301095 [7]

Answer:

3.12732 × 10⁹ beats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, in 1 min, the heart of an individual makes 70 beats, the number of beats the heart of the healthy individual makes in 85 years can be calculated as follows:

1 yr = 365 days, therefore,

85yrs = 85*365 = 31,025 days

1 day = 24 hours

31,025 days = 31,025*24 = 744,600 hours.

1 hr = 60 mins

744,600 hours = 744,600*60 = 44,676,000 mins

This means the individual lived for 44,676,000 mins (85yrs)

If 70 beats are made in 1 min, therefore, in 85yrs, the individual will make:

44,676,000*70 = 3,127,320,000 beats = 3.12732 × 10⁹ beats in 85yrs

Help!! please! Will mark Brainliest!
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

A) 264 ft^2, 4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = 12 ft x 18 ft = 216 ft^2

Area of triangle = 1/2 (28- 18)(12) = 1/2(10)(12) = 60 ft^2

Area of window: 3 ft x 4 ft = 12 ft^2

Areas will be painting = (216 + 60) - 12 = 264 ft^2

1 gallon of paint will cover 70 ft^2 so 264 ft^2 / 70 ft^2 = 3.77 gallons

So Mr. Williams will need 4 gallons of paint to cover 264 square feet of his barn

What is the area of the trapezoid?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

the area of a trapezoid is equal to half the product of the height and the sum of the two bases. Area = ½ x (Sum of parallel sides) x (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides).
