Answer:

a) The probability that a random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours = 0.2586.

b) The probability that a random movie is longer than 2.3 hours is 0.0918.

c) The length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies is 1.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we would solve it using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation

a) A random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours

z = (x-μ)/σ,

x1 = 1.8,

x2 = 2.0

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

z1 = (1.8 - 1.9)/0.3

z1 = -1/0.3

z1 = -0.33333

Using the z score table

P(z1 = -0.33) = 0.3707

z2 = (2.0 - 1.9)/0.3

z1 = 1/0.3

z1 = 0.33333

p(z2 = 0.33) = 0.6293

= P(- 0.33 ≤ z ≤ 0.33)

= 0.6293 - 0.3707

= 0.2586

The probability that a random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours = 0.2586

b) A movie is longer than 2.3 hours

z = (x-μ)/σ,

x1 = 2.3

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

z = (2.3 - 1.9)/0.3

z = 4/0.3

z = 1.33333

P(z = 1.33) = 0.90824

P(x>2.3) = = 1 - 0.90824

= 0.091759

≈ 0.0918

The probability that a random movie is longer than 2.3 hours is 0.0918.

3) The length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies.

z = (x-μ)/σ

Probability (z ) = 94% = 0.94

Movie that is shorter than 0.94

= P(1 - 0.94) = P(0.06)

Finding the P (x< 0.06) = -1.555

≈ -1.56

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

-1.56 = (x - 1.9)/ 0.3

Cross multiply

-1.56 × 0.3 = x - 1.9

- 0.468 + 1.9 = x

= 1.432 hours

≈ 1.4 hours

Therefore, the length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies is 1.4 hours

What type of triangle has side lengths of 4√5, √145 and 19?

Masja [62]

a, b, c - side lengths (a ≤ b ≤ c)

If $a^2+b^2 < c^2$ , then is Obtuse triangle.

If $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , then is Right triangle.

If $a^2+b^2 > c^2$ , then Acute triangle.

$a=4\sqrt5,\ b=\sqrt{145},\ c=19\to a < b < c$

Check to see if the sum of the first two sides is greater than the third.

$a+b=4\sqrt5+\sqrt{145}\approx9+12=21 > 19=c\\\\CORRECT$

$a\neq b\neq c\neq a$ , therefore is Scalene triangle.

$a^2=(4\sqrt5)^2=4^2(\sqrt5)^2=16(5)=80\\\\b^2=(\sqrt{145})^2=145\\\\c^2=19^2=361\\\\a^2+b^2=80+145=225 < 361=c^2\\\\a^2+b^2 < c^2$

It's Obtuse triangle.

Susan's property is assessed at $97,500. The property tax rate in her city is 3.05%.

Hoochie [10]

In this item, I think we are asked to determine the amount that Susan should pay for the tax of her assets. To answer this item, we simply have to multiply the given property value with the decimal equivalent of the percentage given.
property tax = ($97,500) x (0.0305)
property tax = $2973.75

A collection of 77 quarters and dimes is worth $12.50. How many quarters and dimes are there? Set it up plz

mihalych1998 [28]

So let's say quarters = x and dimes = y. You'd then put x + y = 77 (for a total of 77 coins). And your second equation would be .25x + .10y = 12.50 (.25 for the total value a quarter holds and .10 for a total value a dime holds). Then you'd do matrices on a calculator.

Determine if this conjecture is true. If not, give a counterexample. The difference of two negative numbers is a negative number

That would be a false statement

A bank gets an average of 12 customers per hour. Assume the variable follows a Poisson distribution. Find the probability that t

Alina [70]

Answer:

75.76% probability that there will be 10 or more customers at this bank in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

A bank gets an average of 12 customers per hour.

This means that $\mu = 12$

Find the probability that there will be 10 or more customers at this bank in one hour.

Either there are less than 10 customers, or there are 10 or more. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. Then

$P(X < 10) + P(X \geq 10) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 10)$

Then

$P(X \geq 10) = 1 - P(X < 10)$

In which

$P(X < 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9)$

So

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{0}}{(0)!} \approx 0$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0004$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0018$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0053$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0127$

$P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0255$

$P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0437$

$P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.0655$

$P(X = 9) = \frac{e^{-12}*12^{9}}{(9)!} = 0.0874$

$P(X < 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) = 0 + 0.0001 + 0.0004 + 0.0018 + 0.0053 + 0.0127 + 0.0255 + 0.0437 + 0.0655 + 0.0874 = 0.2424$

Then

$P(X \geq 10) = 1 - P(X < 10) = 1 - 0.2424 = 0.7576$

75.76% probability that there will be 10 or more customers at this bank in one hour.
