Assume the length of the ribbon was X
after tieing the parcel , the reminder is X - 3/8 = 5/8 X
Rebecca used 1/5 of the reminder, so the remainder of the remainder is 4/5 of the remainder = (4/5) * (5/8X) = 24 cm
                  20/40X = 24
So X = 48 cm

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>

Ruby has a bird feeder which is visited by an average of 13 birds every 2 hours during daylight hours. What is the probability t
zalisa [80]

Answer:

62.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve it by a Poisson distribution, where:

p (x = n) = e ^ (- l) * l ^ (x) / x!

Where he would come being the number of birds that there would be in 40 minutes, we know that in 2 hours, that is 120 minutes there are 13, therefore in 40 there would be:

l = 13 * 40/120

l = 4,333

Now, we have p (x> 3) and that is equal to:

p (x> 3) = 1 - p (x <= 3)

So, we calculate the probability from 0 to 3:

 p (x = 0) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (0) / 0! = 0.01313

p (x = 1) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (1) / 1! = 0.0568

p (x = 2) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (2) / 2! = 0.12310

p (x = 3) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (3) / 3! = 0.17767

If we add each one:

0.01313 + 0.0568 + 0.12310 + 0.17767 = 0.3707

replacing:

p (x> 3) = 1 - 0.3707

p (x> 3) = 0.6293

Which means that the probability is 62.93%

Two angles are complementary. the measure of ∠abc is x° and the measure of ∠dbc is (3x + 10)°. what is the value of x? enter you
Marta_Voda [28]
This problem can be expressed through the equation:
x+3x+10= 90

To solve it we subtract 10 on both sides
→x+3x=80
Add x and 3x
→4x=80
And divide each side by 4
→x=80/4
→x=20
