Answer:

The expected value of lateness \frac{7}{20} hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of lateness is as follows:

  Lateness             P (Lateness)

  On Time                     4/5

1 Hour Late                  1/10

2 Hours Late                1/20

3 Hours Late                1/20​

The formula of expected value of a random variable is:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

Compute the expected value of lateness as follows:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

         =(0\times \frac{4}{5})+(1\times \frac{1}{10})+(2\times \frac{1}{20})+(3\times \frac{1}{20})\\\\=0+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{20}\\\\=\frac{2+2+3}{20}\\\\=\frac{7}{20}

Thus, the expected value of lateness \frac{7}{20} hours.

A storage container in the form of a rectangular prism is measured to be 12 inches by 8 inches
adelina 88 [10]
The measured volume is 12*8*4=382. The actual measurement volume is 11.75*7.75*4=364.25. The relative error is (382-364.25)/364.35=0.049.

On the left, prism A. Prism A is a triangular prism. The base has side lengths of 6 centimeters, 8 centimeters, and 10 centimete
Llana [10]

Answer:

Prism B has a larger base area

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base dimensions:

Prism A:

Lengths: 6cm, 8cm and 10cm

Prism B:

Lengths: 5cm and 5cm

Required [Missing from the question]

Which prism has a larger base area

<u>For prism A</u>

First, we check if the base dimension form a right-angled triangle using Pythagoras theorem.

The longest side is the hypotenuse; So:

10^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

100 = 64 + 36

100 = 100

The above shows that the base dimension forms a right-angled triangle.

The base area is then calculated by;

Area = 0.5 * Products of two sides (other than the hypotenuse)

Area = 0.5 * 8cm * 6cm

Area = 24cm^2

<u>For Prism B</u>

Lengths = 5cm\ and\ 5cm

So, the area is:

Area = 5cm * 5cm

Area = 25cm^2

<em>By comparison, prism B has a larger base area because </em>25cm^2 > 24cm^2<em></em>

Whats the length of the patio?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Length = 20 feet; x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameter = width + length + width + length

64 feet = 12 feet × 2 + (x + 6) feet × 2

64 = 24 + (x + 6) × 2

64 - 24 = (x + 6) × 2

40 = (x + 6) × 2

40 ÷ 2 = x + 6

20 = x + 6

20 = length

20 - 6 = x

14 = x
