The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 30 and 60 minutes. One

student is selected at random. Find the probability of the following events.
a. The student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.
b. The student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.
c. The student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

Answer:

a) 0.1667 = 16.67% probability that the student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.

b) 0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.

c) 0% probability that the student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.  

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value above x is:

P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}

Uniformly distributed between 30 and 60 minutes.

This means that a = 30, b = 60

a. The student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.

P(X > 55) = \frac{60 - 55}{60 - 30} = 0.1667

0.1667 = 16.67% probability that the student requires more than 55 minutes to complete the quiz.

b. The student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.

P(30 \leq X \leq 40) = \frac{40 - 30}{60 - 30} = 0.3333

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the student completes the quiz in a time between 30 and 40 minutes.

c. The student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

Probability of an exact value in a continuous distribution, such as the uniform distribution, is 0%, so:

0% probability that the student completes the quiz in exactly 37.23 minutes.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the given line. (y=mx+b) pls help
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

The b is the y-intercept or the point where x is 0. According to the given graph, the y-intercept is (0, 3). So, b would equal 3

b = 3

Slope is simply rise over run, so for a simple line graph like this, we can count how many points the line goes up, or down, and right, or left, to reach the next point. According to the given graph, the slope is -2/4 or -1/2.

m = -1/2

plug these into the slope-intercept equation to find the answer

y = -1/2x + 3

2.5(12.75x + 24.50) = 188.75
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in order to get rid of the parenthesis, you need to multiply 2.5 with whatever is in the parenthesis.

Multiply 2.5 on each side of the equation like this:

(12.75 x 2.5) (24.50 x 2.5) =188.75

Once you're finished, you should get 61.25 and 31.875x =188.75

Now in order to find 'x' you will need to subtract 61.25 to each side of the equation like this:

61.25 - 61.25 = 0

188.75 - 61.25 = 127.5

So now your equation should look like this:

31.875x = 127.5

You have to divide 31.875 by each side now.

Once you divide them, your final answer should be 4.

so x = 4.

I really hope this helps! ^^

Evaluate bd for a = 5, b = -2, c = 4 and d = -6. user: perform the indicated operation. (-50) �� (-2) user: perform the indicate
Stella [2.4K]
Assuming that the missing operations are multiplication as it is with the first question "bd", then the answer would be as follows:

1.)  Simply substitute the values of b and d before multiplying.

bd = (-2)(-6) = 12

2.) (-50)(-2) = 100

3.) (5/8)(7/12)= 35/96
