Answer:

  b)  0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The required probability is ...

  (24 -20)/(36 -20) = 4/16 = 1/4 = 0.25

_____

<em>Comment on the attached graph</em>

The red line is the probability distribution function (pdf) for this uniform distribution. The green line is the cumulative distribution function (cdf) for this uniform distribution. It is the integral of the pdf.

The probability of interest is the value of the cdf at x=24. That value is 0.25, meaning the area under the pdf curve to the left of x=24 is 1/4 of the total area under the pdf curve. That proportion is what is calculated above.

Three ounces of cinnamon cost 2.40. If there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, how much does cinnamon cost per pound?
BartSMP [9]
To find how much cinnamon per pound you first divide the $2.40 by the 3 oz to find how much per ounce...so $2.40/3 = 80 cents. Then u multiply that by the 16 oz to get the amount for 1 pound...so .80x16= $12.80 per pound.
Hope it helps!

Given h of x equals 2 times the square root x minus 5 end root, which of the following statements describes h(x)?
zaharov [31]

The option that describes h(x) is B. The function h(x) is increasing on the interval (5, ∞).

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

In mathematics, a function simply means a relation between the inputs and the outputs.

In this case, the information given is that h(x) is 2 times the square root x minus 5. The square root of the negative number cannot be taken, therefore, the domain of the function is restricted.

Since the domain is restricted, the function is increasing. Therefore, the function h(x) is increasing on the interval (5, ∞).
