1220/1.65 = 739.39 pounds of potatoes were sold

1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms

739.39 x 0.453592 = 335.38 kilograms

An exponential random variable has a standard deviation of 16. Calculate The probability that it takes on a value < 11. Use 3

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

$P(X$

And using the cdf we got:

$P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

$P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0$

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent the random variable of interest and we know that the distribution is given by:

$X \sim Exp(\lambda)$

We know the variance on this case given by :

$Var(X) = \frac{1}{\lambda^2}$

So then the deviation is given by:

$Sd(X) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}}$

And if we solve for $\lambda$ we got:

$\lambda = (\frac{1}{16})^2 = \frac{1}{256}$

The cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution is given by:

$F(x) = 1- e^{-\lambda x}$

Solution to the problem

And for this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X$

And using the cdf we got:

$P(X$

The graph of the function f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2) is shown below.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

a. The function is increasing for all real values of x where x < –4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me help you, I have answered this question once in Brainly as well

Given the factored form of the function:

f(x) = -(x + 6)(x+2)

<=> f(x) = $-x^{2} - 8x -12$

We will convert to vertex form

$f(x) = -(x+4)^{2} + 4$

Let analyse other possible answers:

<u>a. The function is increasing for all real values of x where x < –4.</u>

True, because the parameter a = - 1 so the graph open down all over its domain

<u>b. The function is increasing for all real values of x where –6 < x < –2.</u>

Wrong, the function decrease in the interval from –4.< x < -2

<u>c. The function is decreasing for all real values of x where x < –6 and where x > –2.</u>

Wrong, the function increase in the interval from -6 < x < -4

<u>d. The function is decreasing for all real values of x where x < –4.</u>

Wrong, The function is increasing for all real values of x where x < –4.
