First we need to have same units before comparing them. That is, either both of them are in cm or both of them are in mm. So if we need to convert 12.5 cm to mm, we know that 1 cm =10 mm. So we have to find out how many mm are in 12.5 cm. And let 12.5 cm =x mm. So to find the value of x , we set a proportion and solve for x. That is
The units cancel out and we do cross multiplication. That is
x=125
So 12.5 cm =125 mm. Therefore the correct proportion is C.
Answer: 0.025
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between the interval [48.0 minutes, 58.0 minutes].
The probability density function :-
Now, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes is given by :-
Hence, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes =0.025
Similarly , the probability of selecting a class that runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes = 0.025
