Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
Could you make the picture clear and back it up a little then i will see it better
Answer:
y = −32
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
I'm assuming
is the shape parameter and
is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is

a. The expectation is
![E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^2e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint_%7B-%5Cinfty%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20xf_X%28x%29%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx%3D%5Cfrac29%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20x%5E2e%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx)
To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,

For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking


![E[X]=\displaystyle-xe^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle-xe%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5Cbigg%7C_0%5E%5Cinfty%2B%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20e%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20x)
![E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20e%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx)
Substitute
, so that
:
![E[X]=\displaystyle\frac32\int_0^\infty y^{-1/2}e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cfrac32%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20y%5E%7B-1%2F2%7De%5E%7B-y%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dy)
![\boxed{E[X]=\dfrac32\Gamma\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{3\sqrt\pi}2\approx2.659}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%7BE%5BX%5D%3D%5Cdfrac32%5CGamma%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac12%5Cright%29%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Csqrt%5Cpi%7D2%5Capprox2.659%7D)
The variance is
![\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2-2XE[X]+E[X]^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BX%5D%3DE%5B%28X-E%5BX%5D%29%5E2%5D%3DE%5BX%5E2-2XE%5BX%5D%2BE%5BX%5D%5E2%5D%3DE%5BX%5E2%5D-E%5BX%5D%5E2)
The second moment is
![E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^3e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint_%7B-%5Cinfty%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20x%5E2f_X%28x%29%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx%3D%5Cfrac29%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20x%5E3e%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx)
Integrate by parts, taking


![E[X^2]=\displaystyle-x^2e^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle-x%5E2e%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5Cbigg%7C_0%5E%5Cinfty%2B2%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20xe%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx)
![E[X^2]=\displaystyle2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle2%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20xe%5E%7B-x%5E2%2F9%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx)
Substitute
again to get
![E[X^2]=\displaystyle9\int_0^\infty e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy=9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BX%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle9%5Cint_0%5E%5Cinfty%20e%5E%7B-y%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dy%3D9)
Then the variance is
![\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-E[X]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BX%5D%3D9-E%5BX%5D%5E2)
![\boxed{\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-\dfrac94\pi\approx1.931}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%7B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BX%5D%3D9-%5Cdfrac94%5Cpi%5Capprox1.931%7D)
b. The probability that
is

which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get

c. Same procedure as in (b). We have

and

Then
