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

netineya [11]

Answer: Your average monthly interest rate is0.18/12 = 0.015. So your average monthly interest is0.015×$850 = $12.75. Then the annual interest payments would be 12×$12.75 = $153

Bill wants to make 10Lcof a 30% saline solution by mixing together a 60% saline solution and a 10% saline solution. How much of
erastovalidia [21]

10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of  10 % saline solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of liters of 60% saline solution

Now we require 10 L of 30% saline solution.

Liter soln %  liters  saline %  

30 %                 10        0.3  

60 %                   x        0.6

10 %                  10-x      0.1

Now forming the algebraic equation,

0.6x + 0.1 (10-x) = 10 (0.3)

0.6x + 1 - 0.1 x  = 3

0.5 x = 2

x = 4 ( 4 l of 60 % solution is required. So 10 % saline solution required is 10 - 4 = 6 L).

Hence, 10 L of 30 % saline solution can be formed by mixing 4 L of 60 % saline solution and 6 L of  10 % saline solution.

Eunique scores 20 points during the game. This is eleven more than three-fifths of the points she scored in previous game. How m
Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the points she scored in the last game x, we can actually write out an equation to describe what is being said.  20=11+(3/5)x.  Hopefully that makes sense.  3/5 of the previous score plus 11 is 20.  Anyway, you can just solve this algebraic expression for x.

20=11+(3/5)x subtract 11 from both sides

9 = 3/5 x Multiply both sides by 5

45 = 3x then divide both sides by 3

15 = x And there you go.

How do you divide a whole number by a fraction​
lord [1]

Answer:Multiply the denominator on the bottom of the fraction by the whole number you are dividing by.

To divide a fraction by a whole number, multiply the bottom of the fraction by this whole number.

The denominator on the bottom of the fraction is 7.

We will multiply 7 by 2.

7 × 2 = 14 and so, 6 / 7 ÷ 2 = 6 / 14 .
