Answer:

0.606531 = 60.6531% probability that it will take between 2 and 132 minutes for the student to arrive at the library parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

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

In which \mu = \frac{1}{m} is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}

Mean of 4 minutes

This means that m = 4, \mu = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25

Find the probability that it will take between 2 and 132 minutes for the student to arrive at the library parking lot:

This is:

P(2 \leq X \leq 132) = P(X \leq 132) - P(X \leq 2)

In which

P(X \leq 132) = 1 - e^{-0.25*132} = 1

P(X \leq 2) = 1 - e^{-0.25*2} = 0.393469

P(2 \leq X \leq 132) = P(X \leq 132) - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.393469 = 0.606531

0.606531 = 60.6531% probability that it will take between 2 and 132 minutes for the student to arrive at the library parking lot.

Calculate the approximate probability that at least 2 children have been diagnosed with ASD among the 200 selected children.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The approximate probability that at least 2 children have been diagnosed with ASD among the 200 selected children is

0.01 or 1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of selected children = 200

The probability of no child been diagnosed with ASD = P(None) = 198/200 = 0.99

Therefore, the probability of at least two children been diagnosed with ASD = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01.

This is the same as:

If 2 children have been diagnosed with ASD,

therefore, the approximate probability that at least 2 children have been diagnosed is:

2/200 = 0.01.  This value is equal to 1%.

The above are summed up in:

The probability of at least one = 1/200 = 0.05

Therefore, the probability of at least two = 0.05 * 2 = 0.01

b) Generally, to find the probability of at least one event happening, we calculate the probability of none and then subtract that result from 1. That is, P(at least one) = 1 – P(none).  For two events happening, the sum of the probability of at least one in two places is deducted from 1 to get the probability of at least two.

Marta walked at 3.3 miles per hour for 0.54 hours. how far did she walk?
Anon25 [30]

This is a proportion, she is walking 3.3 every hour. She walked for 5.4 hours. And we don't know how far she walked so its x/.54. Then you cross multiply which gives you 3.9×.54=x. We multiply those decimals and we get 1.782.
