A student playing a computer chess game gets 5 points every time he wins a round. The computer gets 3 points every time it wins

a round. They play 64 rounds and end with a tied score. How many rounds did the computer win?

I am sorry but i don't know, But the student won 32 times. I did the math on paper and then on my calculator. I am really sorry i couldn't help you. 'ω' Hope you do good on this question and again sorry i could not help you.<span />

The lifetime X (in hundreds of hours) of a certain type of vacuum tube has a Weibull distribution with parameters α = 2 and β =

stich3 [128]

I'm assuming $\alpha$ is the shape parameter and $\beta$ is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac29xe^{-x^2/9}&\text{for }x\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

a. The expectation is

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^2e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,

$\Gamma(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t}\,\mathrm dt$

For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking

$u=x\implies\mathrm du=\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X]=\displaystyle-xe^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm x$

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ , so that $\mathrm dx=\dfrac32y^{-1/2}\,\mathrm dy$ :

$E[X]=\displaystyle\frac32\int_0^\infty y^{-1/2}e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy$

$\boxed{E[X]=\dfrac32\Gamma\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{3\sqrt\pi}2\approx2.659}$

The variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2-2XE[X]+E[X]^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2$

The second moment is

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^3e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Integrate by parts, taking

$u=x^2\implies\mathrm du=2x\,\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle-x^2e^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ again to get

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle9\int_0^\infty e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy=9$

Then the variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-E[X]^2$

$\boxed{\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-\dfrac94\pi\approx1.931}$

b. The probability that $X\le3$ is

$P(X\le 3)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^3f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^3xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get

$\boxed{P(X\le 3)=\dfrac{e-1}e\approx0.632}$

c. Same procedure as in (b). We have

$P(1\le X\le3)=P(X\le3)-P(X\le1)$

and

$P(X\le1)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^1f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^1xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx=\frac{e^{1/9}-1}{e^{1/9}}$

Then

$\boxed{P(1\le X\le3)=\dfrac{e^{8/9}-1}e\approx0.527}$

Solve for x. 89(54x−36)+2=−34(−40+16x)+90x

krok68 [10]

Eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.
4806x -3204 +2 = 1360 -544x +90x
5260x = 4562
x = 4562/5260
x = 2281/2630

PLEASE HELP!! point a= (3,2) point b=(27,30) point c is between point a and b what is c's coordinates

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

let c is a point between a and b we can find the coordinates of c by using mid-point formula

the coordinate x of c is equal to

x=(x1+x2)÷2

x=(3+27)÷2

x=30÷2

x=15

the coordinate y of c is equal to

y=(y1+y2)÷2

y=(2+30)÷2

y=32÷2

y=16

so the coordinates of c are (15,16)
