Metro buses are scheduled to arrive at each stop every 30 minutes. If the time a person waits at a bus stop is uniformly distrib

uted and the maximum possible wait time for a bus is 30 minutes, what is the probability that you will wait more than 25 minutes for a bus

Answer:

The probability is $P(X > 25 ) = 1.667$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The maximum wait is $b = 30 \ minutes$

The minimum wait would be $a = 0\ minutes$

Generally the probability that you will wait more than 25 minutes for a bus is mathematically represented as

$P(X > 25 )$

Now given that the time a person waits is uniformly distributed and that the maximum is 30 then we can evaluate the above probability as

$P(X > 25 ) = P(25 < X < 30 ) = \frac{30 - 25}{30 - 0}$

$P(X > 25 ) = 1.667$

Find b, given that a = 20, angle A = 30°, and angle B = 45° in triangle ABC

Kamila [148]

<span>The side b is opposite to the angle B, applying the law of the sines, we have:

</span> $\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB}$
$\frac{20}{sin30^0} = \frac{b}{sin45^0}$
$\frac{20}{ \frac{1}{2} } = \frac{b}{ \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} }$
$20* \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} = b* \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{20 \sqrt{2} }{2} = \frac{b}{2}$
$2*b =2*20 \sqrt{2}$
$2b = 40 \sqrt{2}$
$b = \frac{40 \sqrt{2} }{2}$
$\boxed{b = 20 \sqrt{2} }$

Un globo busca aterrizar en medio de dos ciudades A y B, cuya distancia entre si es de 200 km. Si se mide el ángulo de elevación

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

$h \approx 59.898\,km$

Step-by-step explanation:

El diagrama trigonométrico que representa el enunciado es incluido abajo como adjunto. Las siguientes relaciones trigonométricas describen la localización del globo. (The trigonometric diagram representing the statement is included below as attachment. The following trigonometric relations describes the location of the balloon):

$\tan 27^{\circ} = \frac{h}{x}$

$\tan 36^{\circ} = \frac{h}{200-x}$

A continuación, se obtiene la distancia horizontal: (The horizontal distance is obtained hereafter):

$x \cdot \tan 27^{\circ} = (200-x)\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}$

$x \cdot (\tan 27^{\circ} + \tan 36^{\circ})= 200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}$

$x = \frac{200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}}{\tan 27^{\circ}+ \tan 36^{\circ}}$

$x \approx 117.557\,km$

La altura aproximada del globo es (The approximated height of the globe is):

$h = x\cdot \tan 27^{\circ}$

$h \approx 59.898\,km$

There are three choices of jellybeans - grape ,cherry and orange. if the probability of getting a grape is 3/10 and the probabil

muminat

When looking at probabilities, two ideas are always true.

1) Any probability is more than 0.

2) The sum of all the probabilites is 1.

Idea #2 works here. (For example, think of how a die has six things and the probability of each is 1/6. So 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1.) Let G = the probability of grape, C = probability of cherry and O = the probability of orange. From Idea #2, G + C + O = 1. Since we know G and C, then

3/10 + 1/5 + O = 1.

3/10 + 2/10 + O = 1

5/10 + O = 1

O = 5/10

Thus, the probability of an orange jelly bean is 5/10 = 1/2.

Lindsey bought a picnic basket originally priced at $40 but on sale for 50% off. After 10% sales tax, what was the total cost?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Origianal price= $40

discount= 50%

Tax= 10%

Let us find the amount of the discount and tax

Discount

=50/100*40

=0.5*40

=$20

Tax

=10/100*40

=0.1*40

=$4

Hence the total cost is

=40-20+10

=$30

You roll a colored cube with one white side, two red sides, and three blue sides. What is the expected number of red sides you w

miskamm [114]

Hello!

This is an example of theoretical probability. If you rolled the die 1,000 times, you would probably roll red about 333 times. On average, this is 1/3, and with a die it is 2/6. As you can see, it will be rolled 2/6 of the time on average, so our answer is A) 2.

I hope this helps!
