Answer: a) P = 0.5, b) P = 0.07
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
Lets call X₁ the time at which you arrive, and X₂ the time at which Bob arrives. Both are random variables with uniform density in the interval [0, 60] (in minutes). Their joint distribuition is uniform over the square in the image, with value P = 1/(60*60) = 1/3600.
a) For you to get more cake than Bob, you should arrive earlier. This event is A = { X₁ < X₂ }, the shaded triangle in the figure.The area of this event (set) is half the total area of the square, so P(A) = 0.5.
It makes sense, beacuse its equally probable for you or Bob to arrive earlier, as both have uniform density over the time interval.
b) In this case you arrive later than Bob, but less than 5 minutes later. So the event is B = { X₂ < X₁ < (X₂ + 5) } . This is the gray shaded area in b) part of the image. Its area is the difference two triangles (half square - blue triangle), then the probability is:
Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of a data set is synonymous with the average. To find the mean, add up all the values in the data set and then divide by the number of elements.
From the table, there is 12 values. Thus, add up all the 12 values and then divide by 12:
Simplify:
Reduce:
Therefore, the mean of the data set is 3/4.
For the data set, this means that the average person guesses the temperature too high by about 3/4°F.
(Note: the symbol of x with a bar over it denotes the mean of a set)
