Answer:

a) E(x)=3.565

b) c=3.8475 --> P(X < 3.8475) = 0.75

c) The probability that X falls above or below 0.28 min from the mean is P=0.4954.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the cumulative distribution function as information.

a) To calculate the expected value, we can calculate the value of x in which F(x) equals 0.5. This happens for x=3.565.

F(x)=\frac{x-3}{1.13} =0.5\\\\x-3=0.5*1.13=0.565\\\\x=0.565+3=3.565

b) What is the value c such that P(X < c) = 0.75?

In this case, we have to calculate x to have F(x)=0.75

F(x)=\frac{x-3}{1.13} =0.75\\\\x-3=0.75*1.13=0.8475\\\\x=0.8475+3=3.8475

This happens for x=3.8475.

c) We have to calculate the probability that X falls above or below 0.28 min from the mean (x=3.565).

This is the probability that the time is between 3.285 and 3.845

x_1=3.565-0.28=3.285\\\\x_2=3.565+0.28=3.845

We can calculate this as:

P(3.285

The probability that X falls above or below 0.28 min from the mean is P=0.4954.

There are 42 students on a large bus and the rest are on a smaller bus. If 40% of the students are on the smaller bus how many t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

<u>There are 70 students on the two buses, 42 on the large and 28 on the smaller.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of students on the large bus = 42

Number of students on the small bus = 40% of the students

2. How many total students are on the two buses?

For answering the question, we will use the Rule of Three Simple, this way:

42 students are 60% of total students, how much students are the 100%?

Total students = 42 * 100/60

Total students = 4,200/60 = 70

<u>There are 70 students on the two buses, 42 on the large and 28 on the smaller.</u>

Which statement(s) about the graph are correct? Select ALL that apply.
hoa [83]

Answer: B and D are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong because they will eventually intersect (the arrows show that the line continues on).

B is correct; that is where they will intersect.

C is wrong because they only intersect at one point, and that's where the solution is.

D is correct because they intersect once and have only one solution.

You have a box with dimensions 2 ft. x 4 ft. x 3 ft. a. If you want to wrap the box, what is the minimum amount of wrapping pape
shusha [124]

Answer: A) 52 ft  B) $134.68

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the surface area by multiplying the dimensions together.

2 x 4 = 8

2 x 3 = 6

4 x 3 = 12

Then add them up and multiply by two because there are two of each side.

26 x 2 = 52

To find the cost, multiply 52 by $2.59 to get the price.

52 x $2.59 = $34.68

If a is a rational number and b is a rational number, then the product ab must be
alukav5142 [94]
The best way to answer this is to find counterarguments for each answer to eliminate them as a possibility. ab doesn't have to be an integer, 2.5*3=7.5 . That's also not an imaginary number so that's out. And that's also not an irrational number so that's out too. Only choice left is rational number.
