Answer:

The probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop.

The random variable <em>X</em> is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes.

Then the parameter of the distribution is,\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{7}.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0,\ \lambda>0

Compute the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning as follows:

P(6\leq X\leq 9)=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx

                      =\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\frac{1}{7}\cdot e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{7}\cdot \int\limits^{9}_{6} {e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=[-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}]^{9}_{6}\\\\=e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 6}-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 9}\\\\=0.424373-0.276453\\\\=0.14792\\\\\approx 0.148

Thus, the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

A rectangular park is 150 yards on one side and 125 yards on the other.
Ket [755]
So, there is a rectangular park with longer side (length) 150 yards and shorter side (width) 125 yards.

so walking around the rectangular park once is like covering the Perimeter (p) of the rectangular park.

So, lets find the perimeter of the park.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + w)
                                    = 2 ( 150 + 125 )
                                    = 2 * 275
                                    = 550 yards

Now, walking around the park two times is like doubling the Perimeter of the rectangle. So, when Debbie walks around the park 2 times, he covers the perimeter of the rectangular field twice.

i.e. Debbie walked 2 * Perimeter
                               = 2 * 550
                               = 1100 yards

Now, If Debbie wanted to walk 1,000,000 yards, she has to walk the  rectangular park (1,000,000 / the Perimeter of the park)
         i.e.  1,000,000 / 550
             = 1818.18 times

So, 
(a) she walks 1100 yards
(b) She have to walk 1818.18 times

ABDE is a rectangle on coordinate axes, the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the axes,
Hitman42 [59]

The coordinates of B and D are the location of the vertices B and D in the rectangle

The coordinates of B and D are (55, 30) and (55, 14)

<h3>How to determine the coordinates of B and D?</h3>

From the figure of the rectangle, we have:

A = (25,30)

C = (40, 22)

Point B has the same y-coordinate as point A

So, we have:

B = (x, 30)

The x-coordinate is then calculated as:

Bx = 2Cx - Ax

This gives

Bx = 2*40 - 25

Bx = 55

So, the coordinates of B are:

B = (55, 30)

Point D has the same x-coordinate as point B

So, we have:

D = (55, y)

The y-coordinate is then calculated as:

Dy = Cy - (By - Cy)

This gives

Dy = 22 - (30 - 22)

Dy = 14

So, the coordinates of B are:

D = (55, 14)

Hence, the coordinates of B and D are (55, 30) and (55, 14)
