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.

Step-by-step explanation:

6m^3n,\:8mn^2

Find the GCD of 6,\:8:

6

=2\cdot \:3

8

=2\cdot \:4

=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2

So the prime factor common to 6, 8 is:

2

So the factor common to 6m^3n,\:8mn^2:

Find the value of k. Then find the angle measures of the polygon
pochemuha

Answer:

45° + 2k + k = 180°

=> 45 + 3k = 180

=> 3k = 180 – 45

=> k = 135/3

=> k = 45

other two angles :-

2k = 2×45 = 90°

k = 45°
