Answer:

a) 0.75

b) 0.5

c) Mean = 60 minutes

Standard Deviation = 5.77 minutes    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The cycle time for trucks hauling concrete to a highway construction site is uniformly distributed over the interval 50 to 70 minutes.

a = 50, b = 70

f(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{b-a} = \frac{1}{70-50} = \frac{1}{20}

We are given a uniform distribution.

a) P(cycle time will be less than 65 minutes)

P( x < 65)

=\displaystyle\int_{65}^{50} f(x) dx\\\\=\displaystyle\int_{65}^{50} \frac{1}{20}dx\\\\=\frac{1}{20}[x]_{65}^{50} = \frac{1}{20}(65-50) = 0.75

b) P(cycle time is less than 65 minutes if it is known that the cycle time exceeds 55 minutes)

P( 55 < x < 65)

=\displaystyle\int_{65}^{55} f(x) dx\\\\=\displaystyle\int_{65}^{55} \frac{1}{20}dx\\\\=\frac{1}{20}[x]_{65}^{55} = \frac{1}{20}(65-55) = 0.5

c) Mean:

\mu = \displaystyle\frac{a+b}{2}\\\\\mu = \frac{50+70}{2} = 60

Standard Deviation:

\sigma = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{(b-a)^2}{12}}\\\\= \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{(70-50)^2}{12}} = \sqrt{33.33} = 5.77

Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 2).
fomenos

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines: Their gradients are reciprocals.

This means:

  • -1 ÷ Gradient 1 = Gradient 2
  • Gradient 1 * Gradient 2 = -1

Gradient of the given equation is 3.

-1 / 3 = -1/3

Gradient of the equation we're finding is -1/3

y = -1/3x + c

Substitute the coordinates in to find the value of c

2 = -1/3(6) + c

2 = -2 + c

2 + 2 = c

4 = c

y = -1/3x + 4

How can you check your work when you are finding arc measures?
Murrr4er [49]

After you measured it you can check if the measurement is correct by knowing radius and arc length using formula,

\alpha=\dfrac{l}{r}.

Hope this helps.
