2. If it costs $0.12 Per Cubic inch

In Grafton, a rural area in Vermont, the distance (in meters) between telephone poles has a uniform distribution between 40 and

Answer:

a) 60% probability that the distance is environment friendly.

b) The mean of the distances between the telephone poles is 52.5 meters.

c) The standard deviation of the distance between the telephone poles is 7.22 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

$P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}$

Uniform distribution between 40 and 65 meters.

This means that $a = 40, b = 65$

a) Any distance between poles greater than 50 meters is considered to be environment friendly. What is the probability that the distance is environment friendly?

This is $P(X > 50)$

We have that

$P(X \leq 50) + P(X > 50) = 1$

So

$P(X > 50) = 1 - P(X \leq 50)$

$P(X \leq 50) = \frac{50 - 40}{65 - 40} = 0.4$

$P(X > 50) = 1 - P(X \leq 50) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6$

60% probability that the distance is environment friendly.

b) Find the mean of the distances between the telephone poles

The mean of the uniform distribution is

$M = \frac{a + b}{2}$

So

$M = \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{40 + 65}{2} = 52.5$

c) Find the standard deviation of the distance between the telephone poles.

The standard deviation of the uniform distribution is:

$S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}}$

So

$S = \sqrt{\frac{(65-40)^{2}}{12}} = 7.22$

(3-5u+3x)(-3) use the distributive property to remove parenthesis. Please hurry

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

(3 - 5u + 3x)(-3) = (3)(-3) + (-5u)(-3) + (3x)(-3) = -9 + 15u - 9x

<h3>Answer: (3 - 5u + 3x)(-3) = -9 + 15u - 9x</h3>

Answer: About 104 jelly beans were added to the jar.

Step by Step Explanation: If you subtract the mass of the jar from the mass before you added jelly beans you will get 127.8. Once you divide that number by 1.23 you will get about 104.
