Answer:

a) 0.0821

b) 0.0111

c) 0.0041

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}

In which \lambda is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}

Either it lasts more 5 years or less, or it survives more than 5 years. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X \leq 5) + P(X > 5) = 1

In all 3 cases, we want P(X > 5). So

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5)

In which

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5\lambda}

(a) lambda=.5

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5*0.5} = 0.9179

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9179 = 0.0821

(b) lambda=0.9

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5*0.9} = 0.9889

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9889 = 0.0111

(c) lambda=1.1

P(X \leq 5) = 1 - e^{-5*1.1} = 0.9959

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9959 = 0.0041

Translate then Solve for the variable:
Sergeu [11.5K]

The linear equation will be 2x + 10 = 5(x - 6). Then the value of the variable x will be 23.33.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Translate then Solve for the variable:

The sum of two times a number and 10 is five times the difference between a number and six.

Let the number be x.

Then the equation will be

2x + 10 = 5(x - 6)

Then the value of x will be

2x + 10 = 5x - 60

5x - 2x = 60 + 10

      3x = 70

        x = 23.33

How to find MP when discount percent and SP are given​
nadezda [96]

Given:

Consider the discount percent and SP are given​.

To find:

The MP.

Solution:

Let x% be the discount percent Then

SP=MP-x\%\text{ of }MP

SP=MP-\dfrac{x}{100}MP

SP=\left(1-\dfrac{x}{100}\right)MP

SP=\left(\dfrac{100-x}{100}\right)MP

Multiply both sides by 100.

100SP=(100-x)MP

Divide both sides by (100-x).

\dfrac{100}{100-x}SP=MP

Therefore, the formula for MP is MP=\dfrac{100}{100-x}SP, where x is the discount percentage.
