Answer:

a) 0.3889

b) 0.5

c) 0.8333

d) The mean is 250 and the standard deviation is 51.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability of finding a value of X higher than x is:

P(X > x) = 1 - \frac{x - a}{b-a}

The probability of finding a value of X between c and d is:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

The mean and the standard deviation are, respectively:

M = \frac{a+b}{2}

S = \sqrt{\frac{b-a}^{2}{12}}

A random variable follows the continuous uniform distribution between 160 and 340.

This means that a = 160, b = 340

a)

P(220 \leq X \leq 290) = \frac{290 - 220}{340 - 160} = 0.3889

b)

P(160 \leq X \leq 250) = \frac{250 - 160}{340 - 160} = 0.5

c)

P(X > 190) = 1 - \frac{190 - 160}{340 - 160} = 0.8333

d)

M = \frac{160 + 340}{2} = 250

S = \sqrt{\frac{340 - 160}^{2}{12}} = 51.96

The mean is 250 and the standard deviation is 51.96.

in the diagram, a building casts a 35-ft shadow and a flagpole casts a 10-ft shadow. if the flagpole is 22tall, how tall is the
8_murik_8 [283]

Let, the height of the building be x ft.

Given the building casts 35ft shadow.

The height of the flagpole given which is 22ft and casts a shadow of 10ft.

Now to find the height of the building we have to equate the ratio of height and shadow of the building and the flagpole.

So we can write,

x/35 = 22/10

To find x, we have to get rid of 35 from the left side and have to move it to right side. As 35 is divided there, we will multiply 35 to both sides.

(x/35)× 35 = (22/10)×35

x = (22×35)/10

x = 770/10

x = 77

So, the height of the building is 77 ft which is the required answer here.
