The length of time it takes to get through the security checks at a very large urban airport is a random variable with mean μ =

20.6 minutes and standard deviation σ = 8.4 minutes. a simple random sample of 36 airline passengers is to be observed going through security. for the passengers in the srs, what is the approximate probability that the mean length of time for them to get through security will be less than 18 minutes?

A) The population and sample mean are always the same ... in this case, it is 20.6 minutes. 

<span>b) First convert the data to z-values: </span>

<span>P(X<18) = P(z < (18-20.6)/8.4) = P(z< -0.3095) </span>

<span>Now, using a Standard Normal table, look up z= -0.3095 </span>

<span>P(X<18) = 0.3785 </span>

<span>Hope that helps</span>

A committee of 15 members is voting on a proposal. Each member casts a yea or nay vote. On a random voting basis, what is the pr
Igoryamba

Answer:

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they vote yes, or they vote no. The probability of a person voting yes or no is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Random voting:

So 50% of voting yes, 50% no, so p = 0.5

15 members:

This means that n = 15

What is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?

Either all vote no(P(X = 0)) or all vote yes(P(X = 15)). So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00003

P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.00003

So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15) = 0.00003 + 0.00003 = 0.00006

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

<u>A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

<u>B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

<u>When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.

Greenfields is a mail order seed and plant business. The size of orders is uniformly distributed over the interval from $25 to $
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a) 47.55

b) 58

c) 47.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the size of the orders is uniformly distributed over the interval

$25 ( a ) to $80 ( b )

<u>a) Determine the value for the first order size generated based on 0.41</u>

parameter for normal distribution is given as ;  a = 25,  b = 80

size/value of order  = a + random number ( b - a )

                                = 25 + 0.41 ( 80 - 25 )

                                =  47.55

<u>b) Value of the last order generated based on random number (0.6)</u>

= a + random number ( b - a )

= 25 + 0.6 ( 80 - 25 )

= 25 + 33 = 58

<u>c) Average order size </u>

= ∑ order 1 + order 2 + ----- + order 10  ) / 10

= (47.55 + ...... + 58 ) / 10

= 478.8 / 10 = 47.88

Max finds the product 3/7 x 6. Which statement is true?
Mariulka [41]
The correct answer is choice B. When you are multiplying anything by a value greater than one, the answer you get will always be bigger than what you started with.

The reason lies with in the concept of multiplication.

If you have more than one group of something, you will have more than what you started with.
