A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 48.0 and 58.

Yanka [14]

Answer: 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between the interval [48.0 minutes, 58.0 minutes].

The probability density function :-

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{58-48}=\dfrac{1}{10}$

Now, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes is given by :-

$\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ f(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ \dfrac{1}{10}\ dx\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}|x|^{50.5}_{50.25}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}\ [50.5-50.25]=\dfrac{1}{10}\times(0.25)=0.025$

Hence, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes =0.025

Similarly , the probability of selecting a class that runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes = 0.025

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Just estimating, about 15%

% = Land used for food production/ Total Area * 100

% = (570000 / 3.931 * 10^6) * 100%

% = 14.5%
