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.

Min wants to make 100 name tags with ribbon attached to them. Each name tag requires 5 centimeters of ribbon. She has 3.25 meter
Kisachek [45]
3.25 meters = 325 cm

325cm / 5 cm= 65 name tags with the ribbon she has.

She still needs 35 name tags, so 35 × 5 = 175cm cm.

She still needs 175cm of ribbon to make a total of 100 name tags.
