Joint Distributions (normal distributions)
Tim has two more problems to solve on his test, but he doesn't know how long it will take to finish them. He assigns mutually irrelevant normal distributions to the times, assigning a mean of 35 minutes to the first problem and 30 minutes to the second problem. He assigns a 95% chance that the first problem will take 35+-15 minutes(i.e. between 20 and 50 minutes), and a 95% chance that the second problem will take 30+-20 minutes.
Which interval below contains 95% of the probability of the time it will take Tim to finish both problems?
a) 65 +- 17.5 minutes
b) 65 +- 25 minutes
c) 65 +- 30 minutes
d) 65 +- 35 minutes

- Probability - The events X and Y are mutually exclusive. Suppose P(X) = .05 and P(Y) =.02. What is the probability of either X or Y occurring? What is the probability that neither X nor Y will happen?
- statistics - Amy and Bubba are studying for an exam. The probability that Amy will pass is .9, the probability that either of the two will pass is .98, and the two events are independent. Find the following. ...
- In this problem the probabilities of two events, A and B, are given. From this information, we find the probability of the union of the two events if: 1. The events are mutually exclusive. 2. The events are independent. - Let A and B be two events such that P(A) = 0.32 and P(B) = 0.41. a. Determine the probability of the union of A and B given that A and B are mutually exclusive. b. Determine the probability o ...
