Wait time for 911 calls. The wait time before a 911 call is answered in the state of California has a probability density function
a. The state standard is that 90% of 911 calls are to be answered within 10 sec. Verify that this standard is met using the probability density function f.
b. What is the probability that a 911 call is answered within 15 to 25 sec after being made?

- A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardUse the table of values you made in part 4 of the example to find the limiting value of the average rate of change in velocity.arrow_forwardFind the values of x in each proportion: a x6=3x c 6x+4=2x+2 b x53=2x37 d x+35=x+57 e x2x5=2x+1x1 g x1x+2=103x2 f x(x+5)4x+4=95 h x+72=x+2x2arrow_forward

The total area under f(x) is equal to 1. f(x) is non-decreasing f(x) is a probability f(x) is non-negative x is non-negativearrow_forwardStast 2.arrow_forwardLet X be the number of minutes that it takes a random selected student to solve a mathematical problem. The probability density function of X is: 1)Find the mean of X. 2) Find the standard deviation of X.arrow_forward
- Use R to complete the following. R code and R output are requested for solution. Please keep your solution clear and easy to read. Unclear solution will not be grade. O for manual solution. Carry out a simulation experiment to illustrate the central limit theorem when the population distribution is arcsine with probability density function f(x) = 1 T√x(1-x) x = (0, 1). Consider the four sample sizes n = 1, n = 3, n = 5, n = 10, and in each case use 10,000 replications. Note: To simulate a random sample of size n from the arcsine distribution in R, use the command rbeta(n,1/2,1/2).arrow_forwardONLY NEED PART Earrow_forwardThe table below shows the probability mass function of the amount of memory X (GB) in different flash drives available in a certain store. 1 .25 y p(y) What is the V(Y) a. 0.25 Ob.
