Answer:

a) 0.1353

b) 0.3679

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining the random variable T.

T : ''The time (in hours) required to repair a machine''

T ~ exp (λ)

T ~ exp (1)

The probability density function for the exponential distribution is

(In the equation I replaced λ = L)

f(x)=Le^{-Lx}

With L > 0 and x ≥ 0

In this exercise λ = 1 ⇒

f(x)=e^{-x}

For a)

P(T>2)

P(T>2)=1-P(T\leq 2)

P(T>2)=1-\int\limits^2_0 {e^{-x} } \, dx

P(T>2)=1-(-e^{-2}+1)

P(T>2)=e^{-2}=0.1353

For b)

P(T\geq 10/T>9)

The event (T ≥ 10 / T > 9) is equivalent to the event T ≥ 1 so they have the same probability of occur

P(T\geq 10/T>9)=P(T\geq 1)

P(T\geq 1)=1-P(T

P(T\geq 1)=1-(-e^{-1}+1)=e^{-1}=0.3679

A border to surround a picture is to be cut from a 10 1/2 in by 10 1/2 in mat board. If picture is 8 3/4 in by 8 3/4 in what is
Lilit [14]
Since the dimensions of the length and width are equal, then the board and the picture are squares. The width of the board is the margin surrounding the picture. Let's denote the width to be x. The length of the picture plus the length of the width at both ends should equal the length of the board. So, the equation should be:

10 1/2 in = 8 3/4 + 2x
Solving for x
x = 7/8 inches

Find the lengths and determine the measure of the missing angel (x)
inysia [295]
B= 60 
To find b you must do the pythagorean theorem because it is a right triangle
65^2 - 25^2=b^2
3600=b^2
60=b

x= 18 
To find x you must know that a triangle is made up of 180 degrees.
x= 180-(72+90)
x=180-162
x=18

hope this helped :)

Montano1993 [528]
Multiply the constants. Multiply the variables according to the rules of exponents.
(-2q^{4})(-8q^{3}b^{6}) = ((-2)(-8))q^{(4+3)}b^{6}\\\\=16q^{7}b^6}
