Answer:
(a) 0.20
(b) 31%
(c) 2.52 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>Y</em> models the amount of time the subject has to wait for the light to flash.
The density curve represents that of an Uniform distribution with parameters <em>a</em> = 1 and <em>b</em> = 5.
So,
(a)
The area under the density curve is always 1.
The length is 5 units.
Compute the height as follows:
Thus, the height of the density curve is 0.20.
(b)
Compute the value of P (Y > 3.75) as follows:
Thus, the light will flash more than 3.75 seconds after the subject clicks "Start" 31% of the times.
(c)
Compute the 38th percentile as follows:
Thus, the 38th percentile is 2.52 seconds.
So this is trig, and when it comes to right (90°) triangles, it's imperative that you know:
SOH-CAH-TOA
Sine (x) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cosine (x) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent (x) = Opposite/Adjacent
*hypotenuse is always the largest side, and the one opposite the 90° angle in right triangles
therefore we'll use SOH, because the opposite of x (O) and the hypotenuse (H) are given:
Sine (x) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Sine (x) = 32/58 = 16/29 = 0.552
Sine (x) = 0.552
now we use something called arc-sine, or
it's basically a fancy function of most advanced calculators, so we'll plug it in as:
x = 33.49° --> answer B) is correct
