The mean for the total cost of the two items is 82. The standard deviation of the total cost of the two items is 14.14214. The probability of finding two random items at this auction with a total price of less than $80 is 0.44377.

<h3>What is a random variable?</h3>

A random variable is a variable with an undetermined value that gives values to each of the results of a statistical experiment.

From the parameters given:

  • Let us assume that X represents the random variable that connotes the price of the item during the large auction.

Given that:

  • X is normally distributed with a mean of $41 and
  • A standard deviation of $10

X \sim N(μ, σ²)

X \sim N(41, 10²)

Suppose we made an assumption that Y should denote the total cost of items:

i.e.

Y = X₁ + X₂

Here;

\mathbf{X_i \sim N(41, 10^2)} \\ \\ \mathbf{E(Y) = E(X_1+X_2) } \\ \\ \mathbf{E(Y) = 41 + 41 } \\ \\  \mathbf{E(Y) = 82}

The variance of (Y) is:

\mathbf{Var (Y) = Var(X_1+X_2) = Var (X_1) + Var(X_2) } \\ \\\mathbf{= 10^2+ 10^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{=200}

\mathbf{Standard \ deviation \ SD (Y) = \sqrt{200} }

= 14.14214

The probability of finding the two random items at the auction with a total price of less than $80 can be computed as:

P(Y < 80)  

Since the data is normally distributed,

\mathbf{=P\Big(Z < \dfrac{x -\mu}{\sigma}\Big)}

\mathbf{=P\Big(Z < \dfrac{80 -82}{14.14214}\Big)}

\mathbf{=P\Big(Z < -0.1414213\Big)}

Recall that:

P(Z < -z) = P(Z > z)

Hence;

= P (Z  > 0.1414213)

= 1 - P(Z ≤  0.1414213)

From the Z tables, the value of Z at 0.1414213 is 0.55623;

=  1 -  0.55623

= 0.44377

Therefore, we can conclude that the probability of finding two random items at this auction with a total price of less than $80 is 0.44377.

In a secret code language Denver is written ‘NRNRNR’ – how would you write Baltimore?
yarga [219]

Answer:

LMELMELME

Explanation:

The letters 'N' and 'R' are the third and sixth letters of the word 'Denver'.

*Think, every third letter of the word.

The word 'Baltimore' has a number of letters also divisible by 3 ('Baltimore' contains 9, 'Denver' contains 6), so the rule established above will also work here.

Underlining every third letter in 'Ba<u>l</u>ti<u>m</u>or<u>e</u>', we get the first part of the pattern, '<u>LME</u>'.

In the secret code language, 'NR' is repeated 3 times (including the first) to write 'NRNRNR', so by repeating every third letter of the word 'Baltimore' ('LME') three times, we get 'LMELMELME'.

1. Carol owns Virgil’s Electrical Corporation. She needs an electrician and is placing a nine line classified ad. The cost of an
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The cost of 9 line ad is #52

Explanation:

Given

f(x) = 28 --- x \le 3

f(x) = 28 + 4(x - 3) --- x > 3

Required

The cost of a 9 line ad

This means that:

x = 9

To calculate the cost, we make use of:

f(x) = 28 + 4(x - 3) --- x > 3

Because 9 > 3

So, we have:

f(x) = 28 + 4(x - 3)

f(9) = 28 + 4  * (9 - 3)

f(9) = 28 + 4 * 6

f(9) = 28 + 24

f(9) = 52
