The amount of time, in minutes that a person must wait for a bus is uniformly distributed between 4 and 16.5 minutes, X~U(4, 16.5). a.) Find the mean of this uniform distribution. b.) Find the standard deviation of this uniform distribution. c.) If there are 16 people waiting for the bus and using the central limit theorem, what is the probability that the average of 16 people waiting for the bus is less than 8 minutes

16

step-by-step explanation:

2 x 40 = 80

80/5

= 16

the answer is c 150

step-by-step explanation:

it should be a.

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
