Algebra.Com's Answer #734652 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! i think the answer will be as follows:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if it takes between 11 and 21 minutes, then the possible number of minutes that it could take would be 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's a total of 11 separate and discrete minutes in that interval.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if it takes between 13 and 19 minutes, then the possible minutes that it could take would be 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's a total of 7 separate and discrete minutes in that interval.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the probability of it taking between 13 and 19 minutes is therefore 7/11 = .6363 rounding to 4 decimal places which is equal to 63.63% rounding to 2 decimal places.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
