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.
Her phrasing suggests that she would sell numerous water bottles and just a single iced tea. The accurate equation should be 1.25x + 1.49y = 100, as she may offer varying quantities of both.
A.) P(t) = P0e^(kt)
P(20/60) = 40 e^(20k/60)
80 = 40 e^(k/3)
e^(k/3) = 80/40 = 2
k/3 = ln(2)
k = 3ln(2)
b.) P(8) = 40(2)^24 = 40(16777216) = 671088640 cells
d.) Rate of change = e^(8k) = e^(8(3ln(2))) = e^(24ln(2)) = e^(16.6355) = 16777216 cells/hour
e.) P(t) = 40(2)^(3t); t in hours
1,000,000 = 40(8)^t
25,000 = 8^t
ln(25,000) = t ln(8)
t = ln(25,000)/ln(8) = 4.87 hours
