Suppose that Y has density function

zvonat [6]

I'm assuming

$f(y)=\begin{cases}ky(1-y)&\text{for }0\le y\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

(a) f(x) is a valid probability density function if its integral over the support is 1:

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=k\int_0^1 y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=k\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=1$

Compute the integral:

$\displaystyle\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=\left(\frac{y^2}2-\frac{y^3}3\right)\bigg|_0^1=\frac12-\frac13=\frac16$

So we have

k / 6 = 1 → k = 6

(b) By definition of conditional probability,

P(Y ≤ 0.4 | Y ≤ 0.8) = P(Y ≤ 0.4 and Y ≤ 0.8) / P(Y ≤ 0.8)

P(Y ≤ 0.4 | Y ≤ 0.8) = P(Y ≤ 0.4) / P(Y ≤ 0.8)

It makes sense to derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the rest of the problem, since F(y) = P(Y ≤ y).

We have

$\displaystyle F(y)=\int_{-\infty}^y f(t)\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^y6t(1-t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }y$

Then

P(Y ≤ 0.4) = F (0.4) = 0.352

P(Y ≤ 0.8) = F (0.8) = 0.896

and so

P(Y ≤ 0.4 | Y ≤ 0.8) = 0.352 / 0.896 ≈ 0.393

(c) The 0.95 quantile is the value φ such that

P(Y ≤ φ) = 0.95

In terms of the integral definition of the CDF, we have solve for φ such that

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=0.95$

We have

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^\varphi 6y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=(3y^2-2y^3)\bigg|_0^\varphi = 0.95$

which reduces to the cubic

3φ² - 2φ³ = 0.95

Use a calculator to solve this and find that φ ≈ 0.865.

What is the surface area of the cylinder with height 7 ft and radius 3 ft? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Vlada [557]

Area = 2 π r 2 + 2 π r h
where:
π is Pi, approximately 3.142
r is the radius of the cylinder
h height of the cylinder

Plz help me .. I am really stumped!!!!!!! part of the set for a play is a big triangular piece of plywood. the area of the trian

saul85 [17]

The way to find the area of a triangle is A= $\frac{B*H}{2}$
if the base is 3 feet longer then the height we can write it like this B=H+3

now we can add it to our area equation
20= $\frac{H(H+3)}{2}$
20= $\frac{ h^{2} +3h}{2}$
40= $H^{2}$ +3H
10 $\frac{1}{3}$ = $H^{2}$
h=3.2ft
