Answer:

a)  P(x) = {0.1667 for x in (3,9) ,   0 otherwise}

b) P(x≤6) = 0.5

c) P(4 < x ≤ 6) = 0.3333

d) P(X > 4 | X ≤ 6) = 0.3333 or 1 <em>*see below*</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Since it is a uniform distribution you can imagine it as a rectangle which extends from a = 3 to b = 9 and whose total area is 1.

Therefore the height must be equal to the inverse of the side:

P(X) = 1/(b-a) = 1/(9-3)= 1/6       for every x in (3,9)  and 0 otherwise

P(X) = 0.1667

b)

To find this probability we must find the area of the rectangle which extends from 3 to 6 and whose height is equal to P(x)

That is:

P(X ≤ 6) = (6-3)/(9-3) = 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

That make sense since 6 is half way between 3 and 9

c)

Similar to b) but now we consider tha base of the rectangle from 4 to 6:

P(4 < X ≤ 6) = (6-4)/(9-3) = 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.3333

d)

If  '' | '' means " or ", the probability is one, since every number in the range (3,9) is either higher than 4 or less than 6.

If " | " means " and " the answer is the same as in c , that is because 4<x≤6 is the set of numbers which are higher than 4 and at most 6 which can be expressed as x>4 and x≤6

Which of the following is equivalent to | − 12 + 3 | ?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to | − 12 + 3 | is 9 because if you add -12 + 3, you get -9. However, since it is the <em>absolute value</em>, we would make it the same number but positive.

Hope this helped! :)

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities?<br> y&gt;2/3x+3
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Graph attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

y > \frac{2}{3}x + 3

When x = 0 , y = 3

When y = 0 , x = -4.5

Graphing the two points (0, 3) and (-4.5, 0) gives the graph attached below:

The shaded part is the wanted region.

Nate rented a power washer and a generator. On his first job, he used each piece of equipment for 6 hours which cost $90. On his
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p = power washer and g = generator

6p + 6g = 90 .....multiply by 4

4p + 8g = 100 ....multiply by -6

---------------------

24p + 24g = 360 (result of multiplying by 4)

-24p - 48g = -600 (result of multiplying by -6)

---------------------add

-24g = - 240

g = -240 / -24

g = 10 <=== the generator cost $ 10 per hr

6p + 6g = 90

6p + 6(10) = 90

6p + 60 = 90

6p = 90 - 60

6p = 30

p = 30/6

p = 5 <==== the power washer costs $ 5 per hr

check...

4p + 8g = 100

4(5) + 8(10) = 100

20 + 80 = 100

100 = 100 (correct)
