Answer:

The number is 4.

The step describe to solve the problem is: add five and then multiply by $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

As per the given condition as:

The difference of twice a number and five is three.

"Twice a number" means $2x$

"difference of twice a number and five" means $2x -5$

therefore, the translation of the given word problem to an equation is:

$2x-5 =3$

Now, solve the equation : $2x-5 =3$

Addition Property of equality states that you add the same number to both sides of an equation.

Add 5 to both sides of an equation we get;

2x-5+5=3+5

Simplify:

2x = 8

Multiplication property of equality states that you multiply the same number to both sides of an equation.

Multiply by $\frac{1}{2}$ both sides we get;

$2x \times \frac{1}{2} = 8 \times \frac{1}{2}$

Simplify:

x = 4

The steps which describe to solve the problem is: add five and then multiply by $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the number x = 4

LEt the number be x.
2x - 5 = 3
2x = 3 + 5 = 8
x = 8/2 = 4

To solve the equation: add 5 to both sides and then multiply by 1/2.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1) K = 7.895 × 10⁻⁶

2) 0.3024

3) 3.6775 × 10⁻²

4) $f(x)= \frac{1}{20} +\frac{3x^{2} }{38000}$

5) X and Y are not independent variables

6)

$h(x\mid y) = \frac{38000x^2+38000y^2}{3y^2+19000}$

7) 0.54967

8) 25.33 psi

σ = 2.875

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Here we have

$f(x, y) =\begin{cases} & \text (x^{2}+y^{2}) \right. 20\leq x\leq 30 & \ 0 \, Otherwise\end{cases}$

$\int_{x}\int_{y} f(x, y)dydx = 1$

$\int_{x}( \right )\int_{y} f(x, y)dy)dx = 1$

$K\int_{x}( \right )\int_{y}(x^{2} +y^{2})dy)dx = 1$

$K\int_{x}( (x^{2}y +\frac{y^{3}}{3})_{20}^{30})dx = 1$

$K\int_{x}( (x^{2}(30-20)) +\frac{30^{3}-20^{3}}{3})_{20}^{30})dx = 1$

$K\int_{x}( (10x^{2})+\frac{19000}{3})_{20}^{30})dx = 1$

$K( (10\frac{x^{3}}{3})+\frac{19000}{3}x)_{20}^{30})= 1$

$K( (10\frac{30^{3}-20^{3}}{3})+\frac{19000}{3}(30-20)))_{20}^{30}) = 1$

$K =\frac{3}{380000}$

2) The probability that both tires are underfilled

P(X≤26,Y≤26) =

$\int_{20}^{26} \int_{20}^{26}K(x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$

$=K\int_{x}( \right )\int_{y}(x^{2} +y^{2})dy)dx$

$= K\int_{x}( (x^{2}y +\frac{y^{3}}{3})_{20}^{26})dx$

$K\int_{x}( (x^{2}(26-20)) +\frac{26^{3}-20^{3}}{3})_{20}^{26})dx$

$K\int_{x}( (6x^{2})+\frac{9576}{3})_{20}^{26})dx$

$K( (6\frac{x^{3}}{3})+\frac{9576}{3}x)_{20}^{26})$

$K( (6\frac{26^{3}-20^{3}}{3})+\frac{9576}{3}(26-20)))_{20}^{26})$

$38304\times K =\frac{3\times38304}{380000}$

= 0.3024

That is P(X≤26,Y≤26) = 0.3024

3) The probability that the difference in air pressure between the two tires is at most 2 psi is given by

{20 ≤ x ≤ 30, 20 ≤ y ≤ 30, $| x-y |$ ≤ 2}

{20 ≤ x ≤ 30, 20 ≤ y ≤ 30, $\sqrt{(x-y)^2}$ ≤ 2}

{20 ≤ x ≤ 30, 20 ≤ y ≤ 30, y ≤ x - 2}

Which gives

20 ≤ x ≤ 22 :: 20 ≤ y ≤ x + 2

22 ≤ x ≤ 28 :: x - 2 ≤ y ≤ x + 2

28 ≤ x ≤ 30 :: x - 2 ≤ y ≤ 30

From which we derive probability as

P( $| x-y |$ ≤2) = $\int_{28}^{30} \int_{x-2}^{30}K(x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$ + $\int_{20}^{22} \int_{20}^{x+2}K(x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$ + $\int_{22}^{28} \int_{x-2}^{x+2}K(x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$

= K ( $\int_{28}^{30} \int_{x-2}^{30}K(x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$ + $\int_{20}^{22} \int_{20}^{x+2}K(x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$ + $\int_{22}^{28} \int_{x-2}^{x+2}K(x^{2}+y^{2})dydx$ )

= $K\left [ \left (\frac{14804}{15} \right )+\left (\frac{8204}{15} \right ) +\left (\frac{46864}{15} \right )\right ] = \frac{3}{380000}\times \frac{69872}{15} =\frac{4367}{118750}$ = 3.6775 × 10⁻²

4) The marginal pressure distribution in the right tire is

$f_{x}\left ( x \right )=\int_{y} f(x ,y)dy$

$=K( \right )\int_{y}(x^{2} +y^{2})dy)$

$= K( (x^{2}y +\frac{y^{3}}{3})_{20}^{30})$

$K( (x^{2}(30-20)) +\frac{30^{3}-20^{3}}{3})_{20}^{30})$

$K(10x^{2}+\frac{19000}{3})}$

$\frac{3}{38000} (10x^{2}+\frac{19000}{3})}$

$= \frac{1}{20} +\frac{3x^{2} }{38000}$

$f(x)= \frac{1}{20} +\frac{3x^{2} }{38000}$

5) Here we have

The product of marginal distribution given by

$f_x(x) f_y(y) = ( \frac{1}{20} +\frac{3x^{2} }{38000})( \frac{1}{20} +\frac{3y^{2} }{38000})$ = $\frac{(3x^2+1900)(3y^2+1900)}{1444000000}$

≠ f(x,y)

X and Y are not independent variables since the product of the marginal distribution is not joint probability distribution function.

6) Here we have the conditional probability of Y given X = x and the conditional probability of X given that Y = y is given by

$h(y\mid x) =\frac{f(x,y))}{f_{X}\left (x \right )}$ = Here we have

$h(y\mid x) =\frac{x^2+y^2}{\frac{1}{20} +\frac{3x^2}{38000} } = \frac{38000x^2+38000y^2}{3x^2+19000}$

Similarly, the the conditional probability of X given that Y = y is given by

$h(x\mid y) =\frac{x^2+y^2}{\frac{1}{20} +\frac{3y^2}{38000} } = \frac{38000x^2+38000y^2}{3y^2+19000}$

7) Here we have

When the pressure in the left tire is at least 25 psi gives

$K\int\limits^{25}_{20} \frac{38000x^2+38000y^2}{3x^2+19000} {} \, dx$

Since x = 22 psi, we have

$K\int\limits^{25}_{20} \frac{38000\cdot 25^2+38000y^2}{3\cdot 25^2+19000} {} \, dx = K \int\limits^{25}_{20} 10.066y^2+6291.39, dx = 57041.942\times \frac{3}{380000}$ = 0.45033

For P(Y≥25) we have

$K \int\limits^{30}_{25} 10.066y^2+6291.39, dx = 69624.72\times \frac{3}{380000}$ = 0.54967

8) The expected pressure is the conditional mean given by

$E(Y\mid x) = K\int\limits^{30}_{20} yh(y \mid x)\, dy$

$E(Y\mid x) = K\int\limits^{30}_{20} 10.066y^3+6291.39y\, dy = \frac{3}{380000} \times 3208609.27153$

= 25.33 psi

The standard deviation is given by

$Standard \, deviation =\sqrt{Variance}$

Variance = $K\int\limits^{30}_{20} [y-E(Y\mid x) ]^2h(y \mid x)\, dy$

$=K\int\limits^{30}_{20} [y-25.33]^2(10.066y^2+6291.39)\, dy$

= $\frac{3}{380000} \times 1047259.78$ = 8.268

The standard deviation = √8.268 = 2.875.

A car took 6 minutes to travel between two stations that are 3 miles apart find the average speed of the car in mph

Vesna [10]

Answer: 30 mph is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 3 miles

t = 6 minutes

so,

60 minute = 1 hour

1 minute = 1/60 hour

6 minutes = 1/60 * 6 = 0.1 hour

so

average speed = s/t

= 3/0.1 = 30 mph

Vadim26 [7]

Answer

QR= PQ= PR

18x+1= 24x-17

18x-24x= -17-1

-6x= -18

x= 3

QR= 24(3)-17= 55

PQ= 18(3)+1= 55

PR= 15(3)+10=55
