The probability that the reaction time for this density function is at most 2.5 seconds is equal to 0.9.

<h3>What is a density function?</h3>

A density function can be defined as a type of function which is used to represent the density of a continuous random variable that lies within a specific range.

<h3>How to calculate the probability that reaction time is at most 2.5 seconds?</h3>

P(X ≤ 2.5) = Fx(2.5)

Fx(2.5) = 3/2 - 3/2(2.5)

Fx(2.5) = 3/2 - 3/5

Fx(2.5) = 0.9.

Answer:

Inscribed angle is half of the intercepted arc.
Central angle is the same size as the intercepted arc.

<u>As per above two statements we have:</u>

y = 2*58° = 116°

and

z = 90°/2 = 45°

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

Find the volume of the solid. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Vikki [24]

$V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} or V=4.1888 r^{3}$

r=4 $r^{3}$ =64*4.1888=268.083

V = 268.083 $mm^{3}$ so go with A.
