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

What is the value of the expression ?
Lerok [7]

1st you distribute whats outaide the fractions 2/3*6 and 2/3*5/6 which would be 4 and 5/9 and then subtract those which would be 4/1 - 5/9 To make denomantor the same you would multiply 4/1 by 9 so it would be 36/9- 5-9= 31/9 which converts to 3 4/9. so your answer is 3 4/9
