Passengers using New York's MetroCard system must swipe the card at a rate between 10 and 40 inches per second, or else the card

must be re-swiped through the card reader. Research shows that actual swipe rates by subway riders are uniformly distributed between 5 and 50 inches per second.

Answer:

E(X) = 27.5 in/s

s.d (X) = 13.28 in/s

1st quartile = 16.25 in/s

3rd quartile = 38.75 in/s

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The Research shows that actual swipe rates by subway riders are uniformly distributed between 5 and 50 inches per second.

- The uniform distribution of the swipe rate can be expressed by the limits of swipe rates as  [ a , b ] as follows:

- The random variable X follows a uniform distribution for the rate of card swiped expressed by parameters [ 5 , 50 ].

                                 X ~ U ( 5 , 50 )

a) The mean value E(X) for the distribution is:

                                 E(X) = ( b - a ) / 2

                                 E(X) = (50-5) / 2

                                E(X) = 27.5 in/s

b) The standard deviation s.d for the distribution is as follows:

                                s.d (X) = sqrt  ( { [ (b-a) + 1 ]^2 -1 } / 12 )

                                s.d (X) = sqrt  ( { [ (5-5) + 1 ]^2 -1 } / 12 )

                                s.d (X) = 13.28 in/s\

c) The first quartile is given by the 25% of the swipe rates lie under:

                               1st quartile = a + 0.25*(b-a)

                               1st quartile = 5 + 0.25*(50 - 5)

                               1st quartile = 5 + 11.25 = 16.25 in/s

d) The third quartile is given by the 75% of the swipe rates lie under:

                               3rd quartile = a + 0.75*(b-a)

                               3rd quartile = 5 + 0.75*(50 - 5)

                               3rd quartile = 5 + 33.75 = 38.75 in/s

e) what percentage of subway riders must re-swipe the card because they were outside the acceptable range?

                               1 - P(10<= x <=40) =

                               1 - (30/45) = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 = 33.33%

Answer:

A) Mean swipe rate=27.5

B) Standard deviation=12.99

C)1st quartile=16.25

D)3rd quartile=38.75

E)Percentage of subway riders must re-swipe the card because they were outside the acceptable range=33.33%

Refer below for explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A)27.5

B)[[(50-5)+1]^2 -1]/12] = squareroot[[46^2-1]/12] = 12.99

C) For 1st quartile:

Base(1/45) = 0.25

= 45*0.25

= 11.25

1st quartile=5+11.25 = 16.25

D)For 3rd quartile

Base(1/45)=0.75

= 45*0.75

= 33.75

3rd quartile=5+33.75 = 38.75

E) What percentage of subway riders must re-swipe the card because they were outside the acceptable range?

1 - Percentage(10<= a <=40) = 1/3 = 33.33%

A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 450 square feet. The fence along three sides is to be made of material t
Mila [183]

Answer:

The short side is _15___ft and the long side is ___30___ ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

As fence is built in a rectangular area, so we can consider

Let

 x be the length of the rectangle  

y be width of the rectangle

Given area of rectangle is = 450 ft²

Formula for area of rectangle = Length x width  

     450 ft² =  xy  

Solve for y

y = 450/x            

now according to given condition  

three sides of the fence costs $5 per foot and for the fourth side costs$15 per foot.

We have two condition either the fourth side be x or y

So condition 1:  Three sides =(x,y,x)       4-th side = y.

So  we can write as 5x,5y,5x  and  15 y  

Cost C = 5x +5y+5x+15y

         = 10x+ 5y+15y

         = 5(2x+y) +15y----------------equation 1

           = 10x +20y

Adding value of y 450/x

        = 10x + 20(450/x)

  = 10x + 9000/x

For minimum cost, we can consider the cost to be 0

 0 = 10x + 9000/x

Dividing and multiplying by -x/x

0 = -10 +9000/x²

10 = 9000/x²

 10x² = 9000/  

 x²= 900

x = 30

so y = 450/x = 450/30= 15 ft  

so adding the values of x and y in equation 1 we will have

cost C= 5(2x+y) +15y----------------equation 1

cost is          = 5(2(30)+15) +15(15)

                      =  $600 is the cost  

X= 30 y =15

So condition 2:  Three sides =(y,x,y)       4-th side = x.

So  we can write as 5y,5x,5y  and  15 x

Cost C = 5y +5x+5y+15x

         = 5x+ 10y+15x

         = 5(x+2y) +15x----------------equation 2

           = 20x +10y

Adding value of y= 450/x

        = 20x + 10(450/x)

  = 20x + 4500/x

For minimum cost, we can consider the cost to be 0

 0 = 20x + 4500/x

Dividing and multiplying by -x/x

0 = -20 +4500/x²

20 = 4500/x²

 20x² = 4500

 x²=  4500/20= 225

x = 15

so y = 450/x = 450/15= 30 ft  

so adding the values of x and y in equation 2 we will have

cost C= = 5(x+2y) +15x----------------equation 2

cost is          = 5(15+2(30) +15(15)

                      =  $600 is the cost  

y= 30 x=15

so from both conditions satisfy the cost and the two sides are known as length and width

so dimension will be 15 ft by 30 ft

fredd [130]

1,000,000 is 1,000 times greater then 1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply 1,000x1,000 you'll get an answer of 1,000,000

Therefore, 1,000,000 is going to be 1,000 times greater
