No, Mike presented the ratio based on the change compared to the new amount. He ought to have utilized the ratio of the change against the original amount, which is represented as 55/275, or 20%.
Let the three consecutive even integers representing the sides of triangle PQR be defined as x, (x + 2), and (x + 4). Given that the perimeter of triangle PQR equals 42 cm.
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) =
, a < X < b where a = 32 and b = 64
The cumulative distribution function (CDF) is given by P(X <= x) =
(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 -
= 1 -
=
= 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) =
=
= 0.34375
P(X < 37) =
=
= 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.
