Let x be the amount of time (in minutes) that a particular San Francisco commuter must wait for a BART train. Suppose that the d

ensity curve is as pictured below (a uniform distribution): A horizontal line segment is graphed on the coordinate plane. The horizontal x axis is labeled "Minutes" and has two tick marks at 0 and 20. The vertical axis is labeled "Density" and has one tick mark at 0.05. The line enters the viewing window at (0, 0.05) and stops at (20, 0.05). (a) What is the probability that x is less than 8 min? more than 14 min? P (x is less than 8 minutes) = P (x is more than 14 minutes) = (b) What is the probability that x is between 7 and 11 min? P (x is between 7 and 11 minutes) = (c) Find the value c for which P(x < c) = .9. c = mins

Answer:

a) P(X

P(X>14) = 1-P(X

b) P(7< X

c) We want to find a value c who satisfy this condition:

P(x

And using the cumulative distribution function we have this:

P(x

And solving for c we got:

c = 20*0.9 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as he amount of time (in minutes) that a particular San Francisco commuter must wait for a BART train, and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a=0, b =20)

Part a

We want this probability:

P(X

And for this case we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a} = \frac{x-0}{20-0}= \frac{x}{20}

And using the cumulative distribution function we got:

P(X

For the probability P(X>14) if we use the cumulative distribution function and the complement rule we got:

P(X>14) = 1-P(X

Part b

We want this probability:

P(7< X

And using the cdf we got:

P(7< X

Part c

We want to find a value c who satisfy this condition:

P(x

And using the cumulative distribution function we have this:

P(x

And solving for c we got:

c = 20*0.9 = 18

The population of a certain type of seahorse grew by 13% from year to year.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:  Exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is the formf(x)=mx+c , where m is the constant rate of change of y with respect to x and c is the y-intercept.

An exponential growth function is in the form f(x)=A(1+r)^x, where r is the rate of growth (generally in percent) and A is initial value.

If the population of a certain type of seahorse grew by 13% from year to year, then the rate of growth is 13% .

Hence it is an exponential equation.

Find the range. 83, 71, 62, 86, 90, 95, 61, 60, 87, 72, 95, 74, 82, 54, 99, 62, 78, 76, 84, 92
galina1969 [7]

Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation: The range is the difference between the greatest number in the data set and the least number in the data set which in this case is 99 - 54 or 45. So the range of this data set is 45.

Answer:

<u>Fred.</u>

Started hang gliding at a height of 700 ft and descends 15 feet every seconds

<u>Gene</u>

Started hang gliding at a height of 575 ft and descends 10 feet every seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models Fred's hang gliding is f(x)=-15x+700

The initial value is 700 feet. This Fred was 700 feet above see level before he starts descending.

The rate of descent is -15 ft/s. This means Fred descends 15 feet in one second.

From the table the initial height is 575 ft. This means Gene was 575 feet above sea-level at the beginning of the hang gliding.

The rate of descent is \frac{565-575}{1-0} =-10 ft/s.

This means that in every seconds, Gene descends 10 feet.

Add 35+ 72.5=107.5 that should give you your answer for c and the answer for d is acute because the triangle would have to be 360 to be Obtused and it's not a right triangle because you don't have a 90 degree angle
