Complete question is;

A safety light is designed so that the times between flashes are normally distributed with a mean of 2.50s and a standard deviation of 0.50s.

A. Find the probability that an individual time is greater than 3.00 s.

B. Find the probability that the mean for 70 randomly selected times is greater than 3.00 s.

C. Given that the light is intended to help people see an​ obstruction, which result is more relevant for assessing the safety of the​ light?

Answer:

A) 0.15866

B) 0.00000001

C) Result in part B is more important

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are given;

Mean; μ = 2.5

Standard deviation; σ = 0.5

To find the probability that an individual time is greater than 3 seconds, we will find the z-score and then find the p-value.

z = (x¯ - μ)/σ

z = (3 - 2.5)/0.5

z = 1

From z-distribution table attached, at z = 1, p(z < 1) = 0.84134

But we are looking for P(z > 1), thus;

P(z > 1) = 1 - 0.84134

P(z > 1) = 0.15866

B) now 70 are randomly selected. Thus, the z-score will be gotten from;

z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (3 - 2.5)/(0.5/√70)

z ≈ 8.37

From online calculations, we have;

P(z < 8.37) = 0.99999999

But we need P(z > 8.37).

This is:

P(z > 8.37) = 1 - P(z < 8.37)

P(z > 8.37) = 1 - 0.99999999

P(z > 8.37) = 0.00000001

C) The result in part B is more relevant because it is dealing with a sample size of 70 as against individual one in result A.

Which expressions are equivalent?
storchak [24]
The answer is A.) 3x-7y and -7y+3x
This is due to "3x" implies the value is positive, or "+3x", and -7y remains -7y.
So, we have 3x-7y and -7y+3x.

I hope this helps!

<h3>Answer: Angle Q = 133 degrees</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

Recall that for any triangle, the three angles always add to 180

P+Q+R = 180

(x+13) + (10x+13) + (2x-2) = 180

(x+10x+2x) + (13+13-2) = 180

13x+24 = 180

13x = 180-24

13x = 156

x = 156/13

x = 12

Now that we know x, we can find the angle measures

  • angle P = x+13 = 12+13 = 25 degrees
  • angle Q = 10x+13 = 10*12+13 = 120+13 = 133 degrees
  • angle R = 2x-2 = 2*12-2 = 24-2 = 22 degrees

As a way to check if we have the right answer or not, we see that,

P+Q+R = 25+133+22 = 180

So the answer is confirmed.

The volume of a box V is given by the formula V=lwh, where l is length, w Is width, and h is height.
Nana76 [90]
1)Original Equation: V=lwh
Divide by lw: V/w=lw/lw(h)
Answer: h= V/lw

2)Set up the equation as V=lwh
Substitute the variables for numbers: 50=10(2)h
Multiply 10*2: 50=20h
Divide 50each side by 20 to get rid of 20h: 50/20=20/20
H=2.5
The height of the box is 2.5 meters tall.

the sum of 49,000 naira is to be shared among A, B, and C in the ratio of 1:2:4, respectively. find how much each wilk receive.​
Natalka [10]

Answer:

#7000, #14000 and #28000 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

#49000 to be shared in 1:2:4

49000 ÷ (1 + 2 + 4) = 49000/7 = #7000

A will get (7000×1) = #7000

B will get (7000×2) = #14000

C will get (7000×4) = #28000
