The standard deviation for the combined assignment is 5 minutes.

To combine the standard deviations, we use:

\sigma_z=\sqrt{(\sigma_x)^2+(\sigma_y)^2}

With our information, we have:
\sigma_z=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}

Answer:

5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

The combine standard deviation, SDf, of two independent variables having standard deviation, SD1 and SD2, is given by:

SDf² = SD1² + SD2²

SDf²= 3² + 4²

SDf= 5

A rectangular portrait measures 50cm by 70cm. It is surrounded by a rectangular frame of uniform width. If the area of the frame
snow_tiger [21]

Let us assume uniform width = x cm wide.

Length of rectangular portrait = 50cm and width of rectangular portrait = 70cm.

Therefore,  length of rectangle made by frame = 50 + x+x = (2x+50) cm.

And width of rectangle made by frame = 70+x+x = (2x+70) cm.

We know, the area of rectangular portrait = 50 × 70 = 3500 cm^2.

Total area of the rectangle made by frame would be =  (2x+50) * (2x+70)

We know,

Actual area of frame = Area of rectangle made by frame -  area of rectangular portrait.

We also given "the area of the frame is the same as the area of the portrait."

We can setup an equation now,

 3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500.

Subtracting 3500 from both sides, we get

3500-3500 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) - 3500-3500.

0 = (2x+50) * (2x+70) -7000.

FOIL (2x+50) * (2x+70), we get

0 = 2x*2x +2x*70 + 50*2x +50*70 - 7000.

0 = 4x^2 +140x +100x +3500 -7000.

4x^2 +240x -3500 = 0.

Dividing whole equation by 4, we get

x^2 +60x - 875 =0

Applying quadratic formula =\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, we get

=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

x=\frac{-60+\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)

x=\frac{-60-\sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-875\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}:\quad -5\left(6+\sqrt{71}\right)

We cant take negative value.

So, x=5\left(\sqrt{71}-6\right)=12.13

We could take approximately 12 cm.

The total length of two ribbons is 13 meters. If one ribbion is 7 5/8 meters long what is the length of the other ribbon
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Perhaps the easiest way to solve this problem is to convert 13 into a fraction that has the same denominator as 7 5/8.
Convert both to improper fractions:
7 5/8 turns into 61/8, and
13 turns into 104/8.

Then, subtract 61/8 from 104/8:
104/8-61/8=43/8.
Simplify (mixed fraction):
5 3/8.

The second ribbon has a length of 5 3/8 meters.

Market-share-analysis company Net Applications monitors and reports on Internet browser usage. According to Net Applications, in
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a) There is a 2.43% probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

b) There is an 80.50% probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browsers users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

c) The expected number of Chrome users is 4.074.

d) The variance for the number of Chrome users is 3.2441.

The standard deviation for the number of Chrome users is 1.8011.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each Internet browser user, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they use Chrome, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

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 combinatios 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.

In this problem we have that:

Google Chrome has a 20.37% share of the browser market. This means that p = 0.2037

20 Internet users are sampled, so n = 20.

a.Compute the probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

This is P(X = 8).

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

P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.2037)^{8}.(0.7963)^{12} = 0.0243

There is a 2.43% probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

b.Compute the probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browsers users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

Either there are less than 3 Chrome users, or there are three or more. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

P(X < 3) + P(X \geq 3) = 1

P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)

In which

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2037)^{0}.(0.7963)^{20} = 0.0105

P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2037)^{1}.(0.7963)^{19} = 0.0538

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2037)^{2}.(0.7963)^{18} = 0.1307

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0105 + 0.0538 + 0.1307 = 0.1950

P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.1950 = 0.8050

There is an 80.50% probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browsers users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

c.For the sample of 20 Internet browser users, compute the expected number of Chrome users

We have that, for a binomial experiment:

E(X) = np

So

E(X) = 20*0.2037 = 4.074

The expected number of Chrome users is 4.074.

d.For the sample of 20 Internet browser users, compute the variance and standard deviation for the number of Chrome users.

We have that, for a binomial experiment, the variance is

Var(X) = np(1-p)

So

Var(X) = 20*0.2037*(0.7963) = 3.2441

The variance for the number of Chrome users is 3.2441.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So

\sqrt{Var(X)} = \sqrt{3.2441} = 1.8011

The standard deviation for the number of Chrome users is 1.8011.
