Answer:

Who is at the trail start at 9:00 am? - Andy

Who runs fastest? - Caedin

When do Andy and Berta cross paths? - 9:08 am

Who is the closest to the 1.5 mile mark after 6 minutes? - Berta

Step-by-step explanation:

Andy starts at 0,0

Caedin runs the fastest

Andy and Berta cross paths at 8 minutes after the start time of 9:00 am, which is 9:08 am

At 6-minute, Berta is closest to the 1.5 mile mark because she is above Andy and Caedin.

The graph is attached below. With this information we have to answer the questions:

1) Who is at the trail start at 9:00 a.m.?

Andy

According to the graph, at 9:00 a.m. Andy is at the point (0,0), which is the begining of the trail. Hence, he is at the trail start.

2) Who runs fastest?

Bertha

If we observe the slopes of each line; Bertha's slope has the least steep. This means she is displacing more in less time, than the other two runners.

3) When do Andy and Berta cross paths?

After 8 minutes, on mile 1.

According to the graph, exactly at the point (8,1), which is at 9:08 a.m. and in mile 1; is when the paths of both runners intercept each other.

4) Who is closest to the 1.5 mile mark after 6 minutes?

Bertha

As we see in the graph, at 9:06 a.m Bertha is closest to the 1.5 mile mark, since her line is closest to this point at that time.

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed (or, given by a random variable

topjm [15]

Answer:

(A) 0.15625

(B) 0.1875

(C) Can't be computed

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 32 and 64 minutes.

Let X = Amount of time taken by student to complete a statistics quiz

So, X ~ U(32 , 64)

The PDF of uniform distribution is given by;

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

The CDF of Uniform distribution is P(X <= x) = $\frac{x-a}{b-a}$

(A) Probability that student requires more 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) Probability that student completes the quiz in a time 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

= P(X = 44.74)

The above probability can't be computed because this is a continuous distribution and it can't give point wise probability.

ABC and AED are straight lines.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

CD = 5.7 cm
ED = 3.05 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) ΔACD ~ ΔABE so the ratios of corresponding sides are the same. That is ...

CD/BE = CA/BA

CD/3.8 = 12.3/8.2

CD = 3.8×12.3/8.2 = 5.7 . . . . cm

b) As above, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same.

ED/AD = BC/AC

ED/9.15 = (12.3-8.2)/12.3 . . . . BC = AC - AB

ED = 9.15×4.1/12.3 = 3.05 . . . . cm
