Because the random variable x follows a continuous uniform distribution from x=1 to x=5, therefore
p(x) = 1/4, x=[1, 5]
The value of p(x) ensures that the total area under the curve = 1.

The conditional probability p(x > 2.5 | x ≤ 4) is the shaded portion of the curve. Its value is
p(x > 2.5 | x ≤4) = (1/4)*(4 - 2.5) = 0.375

Answer: 0.375

An orange is shot up into the air with a catapult. The function h given by h(t)=15+60t-16t^2 models the orange’s height, in feet

Studentka2010 [4]

Complete question is:An orange is shot up into the air with a catapult. The function h given by h(t) = 15 + 60t - 16t² models the orange’s height, in feet, t seconds after it was launched.

Select all the true statements about the situation.

Options:

1. The domain of function h only contains values greater than or equal to 0.

2. The orange is at the same height 1 second after launch and 2 seconds after launch.

3. After 3 seconds, the orange has hit the ground.

4. The orange is 15 feet above the ground when it is launched.

5. The value t = 10 does not belong to the domain of h.

Answer:

Option 1 - True

Option 2 - False

Option 3 - False

Option 4 - True

Option 5 - True

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the options,

-The domain is the x or t value and it is time. Now, time can only be positive or greater than or equal to zero i.e. t ≥ 0. Thus, option 1 is true.

- At t = 1 second;

h = 15 + 60(1) - 16(1)²

h = 15 + 60 - 16 = 59 ft

Also, at t = 2 seconds;

h = 15 + 60(2) - 16(2)²

h = 15 + 120 - 64 = 71 ft

So,value of h is not the same at t = 1 and t = 2. Thus, option 2 is not true.

- The orange will hit the ground when h(t) = 0.

However, at t = 3;

h(t) = 15 + 60(3) - 16(3)²

h(t) = 51 ft

h(t) is not equal to zero at t = 3, so option 3 is false

- when the orange is launched it is at time t = 0.

Thus,

h(0) = 15 + 60(0) - 16(0)²

h(0) = 15 ft

So option 4 is true.

- At t=10, h(t) = 15 + 60(10) - 16(10)²

h(10) = -985

This means the orange would be below ground level and thus doesn't belong to the domain of h, so option 5 is true.

A machine is set to fill the small-size packages of m&m candies with 56 candies per bag. a sample revealed: three bags of 56

luda_lava [24]

In statistics, the amount of degrees of freedom is the quantity of values in the final computation of a statistic that are free to differ. In this case, you can get the answer by adding the number of bags and subtracting 1.

So in computation, this would look like: 3 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 7

Therefore, 7 is the degrees of freedom.

You are testing a claim that the standard deviation of time all women spend washing their hair in the morning is 15 seconds. You

dedylja [7]

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation of time all women spend washing their hair in the morning is 15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall need to formulate the hypotheses but first we need to understand the claim in context of this question. The claim is that the standard deviation of time all women spend washing their hair in the morning is 15 seconds. In mathematical notation, this claim can be written as follows;

σ = 15

Clearly the claim contains an equality sign and thus it qualifies to be our null hypothesis;

H0: σ = 15

The complement of the above hypothesis will be our alternative hypothesis;

Ha: σ ≠ 15

We are then informed that the initial conclusion of the test fails to reject the null hypothesis. In short this implies that we fail to reject the claim that the standard deviation of time all women spend washing their hair in the morning is 15 seconds since this claim is our null hypothesis. If we fail to reject a claim in hypothesis testing, this implies that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation of time all women spend washing their hair in the morning is 15 seconds
