Carly commutes to work, and her commute time is dependent on the weather. When the weather is good, the distribution of her comm

ute time is approximately normal with mean 20 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes. When the weather is not good, the distribution of her commute times is approximately normal with mean 30 minutes and standard deviation 4 minutes. Suppose the probability that the weather will be good tomorrow is 0.9. What is the probability that Carly's commute time tomorrow will be greater than 25 minutes?

We are given with
x1 = 20 min
s1 = 2 min

x2 = 30 min
s2 = 4 min

p = 0.9
Condition (x > 25)

We need to get the t-value between the two means and comparing it wit the t-value for the time of 25 minutes given that there is a 90% probability that the weather will be good. Simply use the t-test formula and use the t-test table to get the probability.

Answer:

0.950

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good

This is writtesn as P( x > A), where A represents a numerical value or a condition.

Substituting the value of A, we get -

P( x > 25)

Here mean = 20 and standard deviation = 2

Now we will find the z value for give x value -

As we know -

z = (x - u) / sigma

Substituting the available values , we get -

A =  (25-20) / 2 =  2.5 \\\\

Now, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good is equal to probability value as compared to the corresponding z values

Thus, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good = 0.0062

b) Probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is not good

z = (x - u) / sigma

Substituting the available values , we get -

A =  (25-30) / 4 =  -1.25 \\\\

Now, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 30 minute when the weather is good is equal to probability value as compared to the corresponding z values

Thus, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good = 0.0062

P(x > 25) \\= P( z > (25-30) / 4) \\= P(z > -1.25) \\= 0.8944

Final Probability -

P( x > 25) \\= P( x > 25, weather good) + P( x > 25 , weather not good) \\= P( x > 25) \\= (0.0062)(0.9) + (0.8944)(0.10) \\= 0.0950

Match the identities to their values taking these conditions into consideration sinx=sqrt2 /2 cosy=-1/2 angle x is in the first
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

\cos(x+y) goes with -\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}

\sin(x+y) goes with \frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}

\tan(x+y) goes with \sqrt{3}-2

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos(x+y)

\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y) by the addition identity for cosine.

We are given:

\sin(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} which if we look at the unit circle we should see

\cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.

We are also given:

\cos(y)=\frac{-1}{2} which if we look the unit circle we should see

\sin(y)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.

Apply both of these given to:

\cos(x+y)

\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y) by the addition identity for cosine.

\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{4}-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}

\frac{-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{4}

-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}

Apply both of the givens to:

\sin(x+y)

\sin(x)\cos(y)+\sin(y)\cos(x) by addition identity for sine.

\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

\frac{-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}}{4}

\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}

Now I'm going to apply what 2 things we got previously to:

\tan(x+y)

\frac{\sin(x+y)}{\cos(x+y)} by quotient identity for tangent

\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{-(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})}

-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}

Multiply top and bottom by bottom's conjugate.

When you multiply conjugates you just have to multiply first and last.

That is if you have something like (a-b)(a+b) then this is equal to a^2-b^2.

-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}

-\frac{6-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}+2}{6-2}

-\frac{8-2\sqrt{12}}{4}

There is a perfect square in 12, 4.

-\frac{8-2\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}}{4}

-\frac{8-2(2)\sqrt{3}}{4}

-\frac{8-4\sqrt{3}}{4}

Divide top and bottom by 4 to reduce fraction:

-\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{1}

-(2-\sqrt{3})

Distribute:

\sqrt{3}-2
