There are 42 students in an elementary statistics class. On the basis of years of experience, the instructor knows that the time

needed to grade a randomly chosen first examination paper is a random variable with an expected value of 5 min and a standard deviation of 6 min. (Give answers accurate to 3 decimal places.)
(a) If grading times are independent and the instructor begins grading at 6:50 P.M. and grades continuously, what is the (approximate) probability that he is through grading before the 11:00 P.M. TV news begins?

(b) If the sports report begins at 11:10, what is the probability that he misses part of the report if he waits until grading is done before turning on the TV?

Answer:

A) 0.99413

B) 0.00022

Step-by-step explanation:

A) First of all let's find the total grading time from 6:50 P.M to 11:00 P.M.:

Total grading time; X = 11:00 - 6:50 = 4hours 10minutes = 250 minutes

Now since we are given an expected value of 5 minutes, the mean grading time for the whole population would be:

μ = n*μ_s ample = 42 × 5 = 210 minutes

While the standard deviation for the population would be:

σ = √nσ_sample = √(42 × 6) = 15.8745 minutes

To find the z-score, we will use the formula;

z = (x - μ)/σ

Thus;

z = (250 - 210)/15.8745

z = 2.52

From the z-distribution table attached, we have;

P(Z < 2.52) ≈ 0.99413

B) solving this is almost the same as in A above, the only difference is an additional 10 minutes to the time.

Thus, total time is now 250 + 10 = 260 minutes

Similar to the z-formula in A above, we have;

z = (260 - 210)/15.8745

z = 3.15

P(Z > 3.15) = 0.00022

Amy's grandmother gave her 3 identical chocolate chip cookies and 4 identical sugar cookies. In how many different orders can Am
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

chocolate chip cookie first: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie last: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie first and last: 5 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 7 cookies.

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total).

So, to find the number of different orders that Amy can eat the remaining cookies, we just need to calculate a combination of 6 choose 2 (that is, the number of ways we can put the 2 chocolate cookies among the 6 cookies) or a combination of 6 choose 4 (same thing, but for the sugar cookies):

C(6,2) = 6! / (2! * 4!) = 6 * 5 / 2 = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie last, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total), so the problem is solved again with a combination of 6 choose 2:

C(6,2) = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first and last, she will have just 1 chocolate cookie left and 4 sugar cookies (5 in total), so the problem is solved with a combination of 5 choose 1 or a combination of 5 choose 4:

C(5,1) = 5! / (1! * 4!) = 5 ways

Can someone help me
barxatty [35]

Answer:

y= (-6/5)x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b , where m is the slope, and b is the y -intercept

the y -intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis so b = -2

the slope m= y(rise) /x(run)  = 6/-5 = -6/5 ( to find the slope you have to know how to get from any point on the line to another point on the same line; start at point (0,-2) go up 6(y-rise) and to the left 5(x-run) at point (-5,4))

y= (-6/5)x -2
