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%

Mara carried water bottles to the field to share with her team at halftime. The water bottles weighed a total of 60x^2 + 48x + 2
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

b)\: 12(5x^2+4x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression for water bottles is

60x^2+48x+24.


The highest common factor of all the terms of this expression is 12.


We now factor to obtain;

12(5x^2+4x+2)

Hence the the factorization that represents the number of water bottles and the weight of each bottle is the one in option B.

The correct answer is B


We therefore factor to obtain,

What is the solution for 2x -4= -8
scoray [572]

Answer:

  x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

  3x +  9 = 153

 

subtract 9 from both sides               -9       -9

 

                                                     3x = 144

 

divide both sides by 3                    3x/3 = 144/3

2x + (x + 9) = 153

 

2(48) + (48 + 9) = 153

 

96 + 57 = 153

 

153 = 153
