Answer:

P(X ≥ 5) = 0.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

Waiting for a train that comes once in 0 to 15 minutes is a uniform probability distribution problem.

For a uniform probability distribution, the probability function is given as

P(X) = f(x) = [1/(b-a)] for (a≤x≤b)

where a = lower limit of the uniform distribution sample space = 0 mins

b = upper limit of the uniform distribution sample space = 15 mins

But P(X≥x) = 1/(b-a) ∫ dx (with the Integral evaluated from x to b)

So, the probability that a person would wait at least 5 minutes for a train = P(X ≥ 5)

P(X ≥ 5) = 1/(b-a) ∫¹⁵₅ dx = 1/(15-0) ∫¹⁵₅ dx

P(X ≥ 5) = (1/15) × [x]¹⁵₅ = (1/15) × (15 - 5) = (10/15) = (2/3) = 0.6667

Hope this Helps!!!

Analyze the diagram below and answer the question that follows. If <10 and <15 are congruent, which lines are parallel? A.
yanalaym [24]

If angle 10 and 15 are congruent ( the same) that would mean lines a and b would need to be parallel with each other because that have the same angles.

The answer ic C.

The base of a triangle is 2ft The height of the triangle is 15 in what is the area of the triangle in square inches
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Area of a triangle = A = 180in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:  

height of a triangle = h = 15 in

base of a triangle = b = 2 feet  = 2*12 =24 in

To Find Out:  

Area of a triangle = A = ?  

Formula:  

Area of a triangle = A =  \frac{1}{2} (b*h)

Solution:  

Area of a triangle = A =  \frac{1}{2} (b*h)

Area of a triangle  = A =  \frac{1}{2} (24*15)

Area of a triangle  = A =  \frac{1}{2} (360)

Area of a triangle = A = 180in^{2}

The sum of three numbers is 54. the third number is 2 times the first. the first number is 6 more than the second. what are the
vaieri [72.5K]
Hello!

To solve this, we will use a system of equations. We will have the numbers be represented by x, y, and z, where x will represent the first, y the second, and z the third.

x+y+z=54
z=2x
x=6+y

We know that x is equal to 6+y. We can plug this into the second equation to find z.

z=12+2y

Now we can plug these y values into the first equation to find y.

6+y+y+12+2y=54
18+4y=54
4y=36
y=9

Now we know the value of y. We can plug this into the equations to find the other values.

x=6+9
x=15

z=15(2)
z=30

Just to check, we will add them all up and see if they equal 64.

15+9+30=54

The first number is 15, the second is 9, and the third is 30.

I hope this helps!
