Answer:

(A) 0.15625

(B) 0.1875

(C) Cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes for a student to finish a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 32 and 64 minutes.

Let's denote X as the duration needed for the student to complete the statistics quiz

Thus, X ~ U(32, 64)

The probability density function (PDF) for a uniform distribution is expressed as;

f(X) = \frac{1}{b-a},  a < X < b      where a = 32 and b = 64

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) is given by P(X <= x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}

(A) The probability of a student taking longer than 59 minutes to complete the quiz = P(X > 59)

   P(X > 59) = 1 - P(X <= 59) = 1 - \frac{x-a}{b-a} = 1 - \frac{59-32}{64-32} = 1-\frac{27}{32} = 0.15625

(B) The probability that a student completes the quiz between 37 and 43 minutes = P(37 <= X <= 43)  = P(X <= 43) - P(X < 37)

    P(X <= 43) = \frac{43-32}{64-32} = \frac{11}{32} = 0.34375

    P(X < 37) = \frac{37-32}{64-32} = \frac{5}{32} = 0.15625

    P(37 <= X <= 43) = 0.34375 - 0.15625 = 0.1875

(C) The probability that a student takes exactly 44.74 minutes to complete the quiz

     = P(X = 44.74)

This probability cannot be calculated as it is a continuous distribution, which doesn't provide probabilities for specific points.

One of your peers claims that boys do better in math classes than girls. Together you run two independent simple random samples
babunello [8412]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To determine whether boys excel in math classes compared to girls, two random samples were collected:

Sample 1

X₁: score achieved by a boy in calculus

n₁= 15

X[bar]₁= 82.3%

S₁= 5.6%

Sample 2

X₂: score obtained by a girl in calculus

n₂= 12

X[bar]₂= 81.2%

S₂= 6.7%

To estimate a confidence interval for the difference between the average percentages of boys and girls in calculus, it's essential that both variables come from normally distributed populations.

For utilizing a pooled variance t-test, it is also required that the population variances, though unknown, are assumed to be equal.

The confidence interval can then be calculated with:

[(X[bar]_1 - X[bar]₂) ± t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2} * Sa*\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} }]

Sa= \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1+(n_2-1)S^2_2}{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{14*(5.6^2)+11*(6.7^2)}{15+12-2} }= 6.108= 6.11

t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{15+12-2;1-0.05}= t_{25;0.95}= 1.708

[(82.3 - 81.2) ± 1.708 * (6.11 * \sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{12} }]

[-2.94; 5.14]

Using a 90% confidence level, the interval [-2.94; 5.14] is expected to encompass the true difference between the average percentages achieved by boys and girls in calculus.

I hope this is of assistance!

Circle F is congruent to circle J, and ∠EFD ≅ ∠GJH. Circles F and J are congruent. Line segments F E and F D are radii. A line c
Zina [9171]

Answer:

The measure of arc GH is 80 degrees.mGH=80^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Circles F and J are congruent.

\angle DFE \cong \angle GJH

Given that: m∠DFE = 80°

Angle DFE serves as the central angle of circle F.

Arc GH's measurement corresponds with the central angle from Circle J.

Since the two circles are congruent

mGH=\angle DFE = 80^\circ

The measure of arc GH, therefore, is 80 degrees.

Hank and Debra each own two milking cows. One day, they milked their cows and compared the amount of milk the cows produced in t
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

The result to your inquiry is 2 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Hank's cows yield = 4 3/4 and 4 1/8

Debra's cows yield = 5 1/2 and 5 2/3

Process:

1.- Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

For Hank: (16 + 3)/4 = 19/4 and (32 + 1)/8 = 33/8.

For Debra: (10 + 1)/2 = 11/2 and (15 + 2)/3 = 17/3.

2.- Add Hank's and Debra's milk quantities:

Hank: 19/4 + 33/8 = 38/8 + 33/8 = 71/8.

Debra: 11/2 + 17/3 = 33/6 + 34/6 = 67/6.

3.- Subtract Hank's total from Debra's total:

67/6 - 71/8 = (268 - 213)/24.

Thus, it simplifies to 55/24.

- Convert back to a mixed number:

2

24 55

7

Where 55/24 equals 2 7/24.

4.- Conclusion:

Debra produced 2 7/24 more milk than Hank.
