The amount of time a passenger waits at an airport check-in counter is random variable with mean 10 minutes and standard deviati

on of 2 minutes. Suppose a random sample of 50 customers is observed. Calculate the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is (a) less than 10 minutes (b) between 5 and 10 minutes

Answer:

(a) less than 10 minutes

= 0.5

(b) between 5 and 10 minutes

= 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using z score formula. We given a random number of samples, z score formula :

z-score is z = (x-μ)/ Standard error where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

Standard error : σ/√n

σ is the population standard deviation

n = number of samples

(a) less than 10 minutes

x = 10 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 10 - 10/2/√50

z = 0 / 0.2828427125

z = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z < 0) = P(x = 10)

= 0.5

Therefore, the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is less than 10 minutes = 0.5

(b) between 5 and 10 minutes

i) For 5 minutes

x = 5 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 5 - 10/2/√50

z = -5 / 0.2828427125

= -17.67767

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<5) = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z = -17.67767) = P(x = 5)

= 0

ii) For 10 minutes

x = 10 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 10 - 10/2/√50

z = 0 / 0.2828427125

z = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z < 0) = P(x = 10)

= 0.5

Hence, the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is between 5 and 10 minutes is

P(x = 10) - P(x = 5)

= 0.5 - 0

= 0.5

3. if kx² + 2x + k = -kx have equal roots, find the values of k.<br>​
crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = - \frac{2}{3} , k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac

The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0

Given

kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )

kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is

kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form

with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus

(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side

4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0

- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for k

3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = - \frac{2}{3}

k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2

Solve for x and why please using these!!!
krok68 [10]

Answer:

x = 40

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 2x+80\\2x = 80\\x = 40

Edit: Solve for Y

A straight line is 180 degrees so one side (the x side) is 160°, The Y side is 20, and  you can work backwards by -

8y - 20 = 20\\8y = 40\\y = 5
