Answer:

There are total 5 layers.

Step-by-step explanation:

A multi-layer cake is in the shape of a right cylinder.

Height of the cake is = 20 cm

Radius is = 10 cm

Each of the cake layers has a volume of approximately 1,250 cm³.

Means, the volume of 1 cylindrical layer is 1250 cubic cm with radius as 10 cm and we have to find the height.

Volume of the cylinder is given as:

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

$1250=3.14\times(10)^{2}\times h$

$1250=314 h$

$h=\frac{1250}{314}$

h = 3.98 or approximately height of 1 layer is 4 cm.

As the cake's height is 20 cm so, there are $\frac{20}{4}=5$ layers in the cake.

Answer: There are 5 layers in the cake.

The time it takes a printer to print a job is an Exponential random variable with the expectation of 12 seconds. You send a job

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

0.8753

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the probability that your job will be ready before 10.01 am

Here, the parameter of an Exponential is E(X)=12

Now, to calculate the third job probability, it follows Poisson Distribution with parameter 1/λ

Therefore, E(Y) =1/12

Here, The third job will be ready for 10:01 AM, then E(Y)=61/12

Therefore, the required probability is

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

=1- POISSON(3,5,true)

=1-0.1246

=0.8753

Luke has 1/5 of a package of dried apricots. He divides the dried apricots equally into 4 small bags. Luke gives one of the bags

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

3/80

Step-by-step explanation:

If one fifth of apricots are split into 4 parts, each bag has 1/5 * 1/4 of the original apricots

1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20

Luke keeps 3/4 of those so that's

3/4 * 1/20 = 3/80

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.
