Answer: a. P (x<30) = 0.5276

              b. P (30<x<35) = 0.0555

Step-by-step explanation: An <u>exponential</u> <u>distribution</u> is a distribution of time in which events happens at a constant average rate.

The rate is calculated as

\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}

with μ as the mean.

The probability density distribution for this type of distribution is

f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}

And probability is calculated as

P(X

For tuning of an engine, the rate is

\lambda=\frac{1}{40}

λ = 0.025

a. Probability of less than 30 minutes:

P(X

P(X

P (X < 30) = 0.5276

<u>Probability of tuning in 30 minutes or less is </u><u>52.76%</u><u>.</u>

<u />

b. Probability of between 30 and 35 can be described as

P(30

P(X

P(X

P (X < 35) = 0.5831

P (X < 30) = 0.5276

Then:

P(30

P (30 < X < 35) = 0.0555

<u>Probability of tuning an engine between 30 and 35 minutes is </u><u>5.55%.</u>

<u />

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion.

Not directly. But the quadratic formula can do it. But that's not your question.

the factors you get must contain the factors for 1 which are 1 and - 1

These factors must add to - 5. There's no way that will happen with 1 and - 1 and you would be creative math if you tried to say that you could make one of the factors (x -1-1-1-1-1-1). That creates a whole new question.

Miles is planning to spend 2/3 as many hours bicycling this week as he did last week. Is Miles going to spend more hours or fewe
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Fewer hours

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 is a fraction and shows the parts of a whole. This means that 2/3 of last week is fewer than last week. Last week is the whole for example 15 hours. This week will be 2/3 or 2/3*15 = 10 hours. This week will be less than last week.
