Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete due to the probability distribution table, investigating you can find it so I will attach it.
Having the table, we need to find the mean of the probability distribution, which is defined as the sum of the product of probability and value of random distribution, that is:
M = Sum (xi) * P (xi)
We replace:
M = 0.5 * 0.07 + 1 * 0.2 + 1.5 * 0.46 + 2 * 0.2 + 2.5 * 0.07
M = 1.5
Therefore, the mean of the given table is 1.5
Set up the equation as follows:
150x represents the dog's speed, 100x represents the squirrel's speed, and 200 represents the distance the squirrel has on the dog. x is the amount of minutes that elapse.
Subtract 100x from both sides.
Divide both sides by 50.
It will take the dog 4 minutes to catch up with the squirrel.
