This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Let X denote the time in minutes (rounded to the nearest half minute) for a blood sample to be taken. The probability mass function for X is:
x 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5
f(x) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.1
determine;
a) P( X < 2.5 )
B) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 )
Answer:
a) P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.9
b) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
The probability mass function for X is:
x 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5
f(x) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.1
a) P( X < 2.5 )
P( X < 2.5 ) = p[ x = 0 ] + p[ x = 0.5 ] + p[ x = 1 ] + p[ x = 1.5 ] + p[ x = 2 ]
so
P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.1
P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.9
b) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 )
P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = p[ x = 1 ] + p[ x = 1.5 ]
so
P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.3 + 0.2
P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.5
Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
.80x + 30 = 1.20x + 14
<u>-.80x = -.80x </u>
30 = .4x + 14
<u> -14 = -14</u>
16 = .4x
16/.4 = .4/.4x
40 = x
It's evident that the first four terms are 4, 4/3, 4/9, and 4/27. So the fourth partial sum of the series is
It's as easy as adding up the fractions, but I bet this is supposed to be an exercise in taking advantage of the fact that the series is geometric and use the well-known formula for computing such a sum.
Multiply the sum by 1/3 and you have
Now subtracting this from
gives
That is, all the matching terms will cancel. Now solving for
, you
have
Answer:
x=38
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x+5)=(3x-33)
2x-3x=-33-5
-x=-38
x=38
Answer:
true they walk the same distance
Step-by-step explanation:
8/10 is equal to 0.8
also 12/15 is also 0.8
therefore walking the same distance
