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

On a 28-question test, there are 2-point questions, 4-point questions, and 5-point questions. The test is worth a total of 100 p
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The test has 8 questions of 2 points, as well as 16 of 4 points and 4 of 5 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, on a 28-question test, there are 2-point questions, 4-point questions, and 5-point questions, the test is worth a total of 100 points and there are twice as many 2-point questions as 5- point questions on the test, to determine how many 2-point questions are on the test, the following calculation must be performed:

18 x 2 + 9 x 5 + 1 x 4 = 36 + 45 + 4 = 85

16 x 2 + 8 x 5 + 4 x 4 = 32 + 40 + 16 = 88

14 x 2 + 7 x 5 + 7 x 4 = 28 + 35 + 28 = 91

12 x 2 + 6 x 5 + 10 x 4 = 24 + 30 + 40 = 94

10 x 2 + 5 x 5 + 13 x 4 = 20 + 25 + 52 = 97

8 x 2 + 4 x 5 + 16 x 4 = 16 + 20 + 64 = 100

Thus, the test has 8 questions of 2 points, as well as 16 of 4 points and 4 of 5 points.

Find an equation to the line tangent to y = 5 + |x – 2| at the coordinate (2, 5) pls answer
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding an equation of a tangent line to that function requires that we find the derivative of the function at that point. Since this is an absolute value function with its cusp at (2, 5), the function is not differentiable here.
