A bus comes by every 12 minutes. The times from when a person arrives at the bus stop until the bus arrives follows a uniform di

stribution from 0 to 12 minutes. A person arrives at the bus stop at a randomly selected time. Round to 4 decimal places where possible.
a) What is the mean of this distribution?
b) What is the standard deviation?
c) What is the probability that the person will wait more than 5 minutes?
d) Suppose that the person has already been waiting for 2.8 minutes. Find the probability that the person's total waiting time will be between 3.4 and 5.7 minutes.
e) 10% of all customers wait at least how long for the train?

Answer:

a. The mean of uniform distribution is (a+b)/2, where a and b are limits of the uniform distribution.  So, mean is (0+12)/2 = 6 minutes

b. Standard deviation is (a-b)^2/12 = (0-12)^2/12 = (-12^2)/12 = 144/12 = 12

c. Prob (Wait for more than 5 min) = (12-5)/(12-0) = 7/12 = 0.5833

d. So, given he has waited for 2.8 minutes, what is prob that he will wait between 3.4 and 5.7 minutes

= (5.7 - 3.4) / ((12-2.8) - 0)  

= (5.7 - 3.4) / (9.2 - 0)

= 2.3/9.2

= 0.25

e. 10% of all customers wait at least how long for the train?

10% of all customers wait for?

Since its a uniform distribution, people are uniformly spread. So, the 10% of people will be in the top 10% percentile group of waiting time which essentially means:

0.10 = (12-b)/(12-0)

0.10 = (12-b)/12

1.2 = 12 - b

b = 12 - 1.2

b = 10.8 minutes

So, 10% of all customers wait for at least 10.8 minutes for the train.

What number is in the ten-thousandths spot of pi?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:To figure out the value you have to look at all of the numbers from right to left.  You start with the ones place and get prgressively bigger going up by a multiple of 10 each time.  So you have the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc.  In the number in your example, you have 3 ones, 4 tens (or 40), 1 hundred or (100), 0 thousands, and 5 ten thousands (50, 000).  You can write the number in expanded form to help you figure out the value.  50,000 + 100 + 40 +3.

Show that 3650 is not a perfect square.​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

A number that is a perfect square never ends in 2, 3, 7 or 8. If your number ends in any of those numbers, you can stop here because your number is not a perfect square. Obtain the digital root of the number. The digital root essentially is the sum of all of the digits.

Solve for X<br><br> Thank youuu
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

∠LMP + ∠PMN= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)

-16x +13 -20x +23= 180

bring x term to 1 side, constant to the other:

-36x= 180 -13 -23

Simplify:

-36x= 144

x= 144 ÷ (-36)

x= -4

*The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180°
