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

Which congruency theorem can be used to prove<br> that ABD =DCA?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The answer is "SAS".

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we assume two angle is given that are:

\ Two \ triangles \angle ABD \ and \angleDCA \\\\\ In \ this \ on \ angle \ is \ common \ that \ is, \\\\  AD=AD \\\\AB= CD \\\\\angle A \ is \ equal \ =  \angle A \ (\ which \ is \ given)\\\\

That's why SAS rule is correct.
