Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we want this probability:

P(X>16)

And we can use the complement rule:

P(X>16) = 1-P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x)= \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a\leq X \leq b

And replacing we got:

P(X>16) =1- \frac{16-7.5}{20-7.5} = 1-0.68 = 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X= depth (in centimeters) of the bioturbation layer in sediment for a certain region, and we know the distribution for X, given by:

X \sim Unif (a=7.5, b=20)

Part a

For this case we can see the figure attached.

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X>16)

And we can use the complement rule:

P(X>16) = 1-P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x)= \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a\leq X \leq b

And replacing we got:

P(X>16) =1- \frac{16-7.5}{20-7.5} = 1-0.68 = 0.32

klio [65]

Answer:

Cost\ of\ gift=\$ 388.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price=\$450

Discount:

Discount=20\%

20\%\ of\ 450=\frac{20}{100}\times 450=90\\\\Discounted\ Price=450-90=\$360

Tax:

Tax=8\%

8\%\ of\ 360=\frac{8}{100}\times 360=28.8\\\\Final\ cost=360+28.8=\$388.8
