Answer:

Probability P(completing experiment after 4 tosses)= 0.096

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possibilities:2Heads,2Tails ,3T1H

Given: probability of getting a head =0.6

Probability of getting a tail=1 - 0.6=0.4

2H2T = 2(0.6)×2(0.4)=0.0576

3T1H= 3(0.4)×0.6= 0.0384

Probability (experiment will be completed at the 4th toss)= 0.0576× 0.0384 =0.096

Nady [450]

Answer:

a. 19.68 miles per gallon.

b. 26.32 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean gas mileage (μ) = 23.0 mpg

Standard deviation (σ) = 4.9 mpg

In a normal distribution, for any length X, the z-score is determined by the following expression:

 z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

In a normal distribution, the 25th percentile  (first quartile) of a normal distribution has a corresponding z-score of z = -0.677 and the 75th percentile  has a corresponding z-score of z = 0.677

a. The first quartile of the distribution of gas mileage is

-0.677=\frac{X_{25}-23}{4.9}\\X_{25}=19.68\ mpg

19.68 miles per gallon.

b. The third quartile of the distribution of gas mileage is

0.677=\frac{X_{25}-23}{4.9}\\X_{25}=26.32\ mpg

26.32 miles per gallon.

rosijanka [135]
The answer to this question is that Joanna used 2 kiwis in each fruit cup. We can work this out in the following way:
5 x 5 = 25
8 x 4 = 32
3 x 5 = 15
40 - 32 = 8
15+25 = 40
