Answer:

P(X>5) = 0.857

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X \sim uniform(3.17)

f(x) = \dfrac{1}{17-3}   ; \ \ \ 3 \le x \le 17

The required probability that it will take Isabella more than 5 minutes to wait for the bus can be computed as:

P(X > 5) =  \int ^{17}_{5} f(x) \ dx

P(X > 5) =  \int ^{17}_{5} \dfrac{1}{17-3} \ dx

P(X > 5) =\dfrac{1}{14}  \Big [x \Big ] ^{17}_{5}

P(X > 5) =\dfrac{1}{14} [17-5]

P(X > 5) =\dfrac{12}{14}

P(X>5) = 0.857

There are 15 copies of a popular cd left to be sold in the store this is between 1% and 1.5% of the original number of copies of
Triss [41]

Answer: The original number of CDs is between 1000 and 1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of copies of a popular CD left to be sold in the store = 15

According to question, this is between 15 and 1.5% of the original number of copies of the CD in the store.

Let the original number of copies of the CD in the store be 'x'.

Now, 15 is equal to 1% of the original number of copies of the CD, it becomes

1\%\ of\ x=15\\\\\frac{1}{100}\times x=15\\\\x=15\times 100\\\\x=1500

Or if 15 is equal to 1.5% of the original number of copies of the CD, it becomes

1.5\%\ of\ x=15\\\\\frac{1.5}{100}\times x=15\\\\\frac{15}{1000}x=15\\\\x=\frac{15\times 1000}{15}\\\\x=1000

Hence, the original number of CDs is between 1000 and 1500.
