Answer:
(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.
(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.
(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.
(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = temperature increase.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].
The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:
(a1)
Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:
Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.
(a2)
Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:
Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.
(b)
Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:
Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.
(c)
Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable <em>X</em> as follows:
Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.
Answer:
<h3>B. 4units</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached. The diagram is a similar triangle.
From the diagram, XZ/XY = CA/AB
Given XZ = 2x-2+2x-2 = 4x-4
XY =5x-7
CA = 2x-2
AB= x+1
On substituting this parameters into the formula to get x first
4x-4/5x-7 = 2x-2/x+1
cross multiply
(4x-4)(x+1) = 5x-7(2x-2)
open the parenthesis
4x²+4x-4x-4 = 10x²-10x-14x+14
4x²-4 = 10x²-24x+14
10x²-4x²-24x+14+4 = 0
6x²-24x+18 = 0
x²-4x+3 = 0
x²-3x-x+3 = 0
x(x-3)-1(x-3) =0
(x-3)(x-1) = 0
x = 3 and 1
Next is to get length AX.
Given AX = 2x-2
Substitute x = 3 into the expression
AX = 2(3)-2
AX = 6-2
AX = 4 units
Hence the measure of length AX is 4 units
