Atraffic light near a museum is green for 30 seconds, yellow for 5 seconds, and red for 15 seconds. if 8 vehicles approach the signal, the probability that 3 of them are stopped by the red light is .

  about 0.254

Step-by-step explanation:

The light is red for 0.3 of the period, so that is the probability one car is stopped. Probability 3 cars are stopped and 5 are not is 0.3^3·0.7^5, about 0.004538. In the group of 8 cars, there are 56 different ways 3 of the cars can be stopped, so your overall probability could be 56·0.004538 ≈ 0.254.

Comment on the question

Many factors go into a driver's decision to stop at a light. Many factors go into the distribution of arrival times at a light. Here, the problem is only tractable if we assume that cars arrive at the light individually and at random times with respect to the light's fixed 50-second cycle. (This is possibly the case only early in the morning hours when traffic is at its lightest (not associated with bar closings or night shift changes).)

The above answer is correct: 0.254

Step-by-step explanation: I got this right on Edmentum

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
