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

A coin is tossed 4 times. Which of the following represents the probability of the coin landing on heads all 4 times?
galben [10]

Answer:

C.1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

When a coin is tossed 4 times, the number of outcomes are:

2^4 = 16

So,

From the outcomes, only one outcome will be when there will be all heads

So, the probability will be:

One out of the 16 outcomes

Hence, the probability of a coin landing on heads all 4 times is:

C.1/16

In the diagram below, O is circumscribed about quadrilateral DEFG. What is the value of x?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

A. 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadrilateral DEFG is a cyclic quadrilateral.

\angle F+70\degree=180\degree...opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

\implies \angle F=180\degree-70\degree

\implies \angle F=110\degree

The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.

x-10+70+110+120=360

x+290=360

x=360-290

x=70\degree

Triangle WXY has coordinates W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1). Which of the following sets of points represents a dilation of trian
timofeeve [1]
The correct answer for the question shown above is the second option, the option B, which is: B. <span>W'(2, 10), X'(2, 2), Y'(10, 2) 
 The explanation is shown below: As you can see, the original triangle has the following coordinates </span><span> W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1); the triangle must be dilated by a common scale factor, so if you analize the option B, you can notice that the triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 2.</span>
