x = long piece

y = short piece

x = 2y+1

2y +1 +y =16

3y +1 = 16

3y =15

y = 15/3 =5

y = 5

x = 2(5) +1 = 11

short piece is 5 feet

long piece is 11 feet

Suppose that, after measuring the duration of many telephone calls, a telephone company found their data was well-approximated b

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

a) 7.79%

b) 67.03%

c) Cumulative Distribution Function

$P(t) = \displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{-\infty} 0.1e^{-0.1t}~dt\\\\= \displaystyle\int^{b}_{a} 0.1e^{-0.1t}~dt, ~~a\leq t \leq b$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$p(x) = 0.1 e^{-0.1x}$

where x is the duration of a call, in minutes.

a) P( calls last between 2 and 3 minutes)

$=\displaystyle\int^3_2 p(x)~ dx\\\\= \displaystyle\int^3_20.1e^{-0.1x}~dx\\\\=\Big[-e^{-0.1x}\Big]^3_2\\\\=-\Big[e^{-0.3}-e^{-0.2}\Big]\\\\= 0.0779\\=7.79\%$

b) P(calls last 4 minutes or more)

$=\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_4 p(x)~ dx\\\\= \displaystyle\int^{\infty}_40.1e^{-0.1x}~dx\\\\=\Big[-e^{-0.1x}\Big]^{\infty}_4\\\\=-\Big[e^{\infty}-e^{-0.4}\Big]\\\\=-(0- 0.6703)\\= 0.6703\\=67.03\%$

c) cumulative distribution function

$P(t) = \displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{-\infty} 0.1e^{-0.1t}~dt\\\\= \displaystyle\int^{b}_{a} 0.1e^{-0.1t}~dt, ~~a\leq t \leq b$

the diagonals of parallelogram ABCD intersect at point O. If segment AC is a diagonal and AO = 5, then what is AC

gavmur [86]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. That is, point O is the midpoint of AC. If AO = 5, then OC = 5 and AC = 5+5 = 10.
