Consider a uniform distribution created by a random number generator. The distribution looks like a square with a length of 1 an

d a height of 1. The random number generator creates any number between 0 and 1. Find the following probabilities:
a) P(0 <= X <= 0.4)
b) P(0.4 <= X <= 1)
c) P(X > 0.6)
d) P(X <= 0.6)
e) P(0.23 <= X <= 0.76)

The rigorous way to do this would be to compute a few integrals, but less work is usually better. Each of these probabilities correspond to the areas of rectangles. Each rectangle will have a height of 1, and the probability of interest will tell you everything you need to know about their lengths.

\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)\implies \text{length}=0.4\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.4\times1=0.4

\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le1)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.6

Alternatively, you can use the fact that \mathbb P(0.4\le X\le 1)=1-\mathbb P(0\le X\le 0.4) to get the same result.

\mathbb P(X>0.6)=\mathbb P(0.60.6)=0.4

\mathbb P(X\le0.6)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(X\le0.6)=0.6

\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)\implies \text{length}=0.76-0.23=0.53\implies\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)=0.53

When you are going from a larger measurement (such as meter) to a smaller measurement (such as centimeter), you will have to multiply by units of ten. Specifically if you are going from m to cm, you will use (n x 10^2) with n being the given number for meters. When you are going from a smaller measurement (such as centimeter) to a larger measurement (such as meter), you will have to divide by units of ten. Specifically if you are going from cm to m, you will use (n / 10^2) with n being the given number for centimeters.

irinina [24]

Answer: Maggi

Step-by-step explanation:

If you turn 17% into a decimal you get 0.17, Maggi uses 0.70 , Heath uses .18. So Maggi uses the most

Grace is looking at a report of her monthly cell-phone usage for the last year to determine if she needs to upgrade her plan. Th
zimovet [89]
<span>In order to find the standard deviation, we first have to calculate the mean (average) of the numbers. To get this we add all the numbers together and then divide by 12 since there are 12 numbers. The mean = 782. Next, we take each number and subtract the mean, taking the result and squaring it. For this we get: 6724, 2209, 10404, 11664, 729, 1764, 12544, 9, 529, 71824, 1444, 1024. Now we sum all of these up and take the average by dividing the sum by 12. Doing this we get 120868/12=10072. The last step is the take the square root of that number to get the standard deviation. The final result is 100.</span>

Sara goes on a slingshot ride in an amusement park. She is strapped into a spherical ball that has a radius of 3·10^2 centimeter
kondaur [170]
To solve for the volume of a spherical ball, we use the formula,

                                               V = (4<span>πr^3)/3

The given radius of 3x10^2 centimeters converts to 3 meters. Solving for the volume,
 
                                                V = (4</span>π)x(3^3)/3 = 36<span>π m^3

</span>Thus, Sara is trapped in a spherical ball with a volume of 36<span>π m^3.
