slader The magnitude of earthquakes recorded in a region of North America can be modeled ashaving an exponential distribution wi

th mean 2.4, as measured on the Richter scale. Find theprobability that an earthquake striking this region will a exceed 3.0 on the Richter scale. b fall between 2.0 and 3.0 on the Richter scale.

Answer:

a) P(X>3.0)=1-P(X \leq 3.0)= 1- [1- e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}]=e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}=0.287

b) P(2

P(2

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions and concepts

The Poisson process is useful when we want to analyze the probability of ocurrence of an event in a time specified. The probability distribution for a random variable X following the Poisson distribution is given by:

P(X=x) =\lambda^x \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}

And the parameter \lambda represent the average ocurrence rate per unit of time.

The exponential distribution is useful when we want to describ the waiting time between Poisson occurrences. If we assume that the random variable T represent the waiting time btween two consecutive event, we can define the probability that 0 events occurs between the start and a time t, like this:

P(X>x)= e^{-\lambda x}

We can express in terms of the mean \mu =\frac{1}{\lambda}

P(X>x)= e^{-\frac{1}{\mu} x}

And the cumulative function would be given by the complement rule like this:

P(X\leq x)=1- e^{-\frac{1}{\mu} x}

Solution for the problem

For this case we have that X the random variable that represent the magnitude of earthquakes recorded in a region of North America, we know that the distribution is given by:

X\sim Expon(\mu =2.4)

a) Find theprobability that an earthquake striking this region will a exceed 3.0 on the Richter scale

So for this case we want this probability:

P(X>3.0)=1-P(X \leq 3.0)= 1- [1- e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}]=e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}=0.287

b) fall between 2.0 and 3.0 on the Richter scale.

For this case we want this probability:

P(2 < X

And replacing we have this:

P(2

P(2

An apple sells for 25 cents and a peach sells for 15 cents. A total of 10 fruits were sold for a total of $2.10. How many apples
hammer [34]

Answer:

6 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 0.25

P = 0.15

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

A + P = 10

0.25A+0.15P=2.10

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

I did this: 0.25*10 = 2.50

2.50-2.10=.40

0.25-0.15=0.10

0.40/0.10 = 4 so 4 peaches

10 fruits - 4 peaches = 6 apples

Lian is deciding which of two gyms to join. Each gym charges a monthly rate plus a one-time membership fee. Lian correctly wrote
lapo4ka [179]
The resulting equation 75 = 75 is an identity; this tells that the two equations of the system are equivalent, this is they both represent the same function. So, Lian can conclude that (option c) both gyms charge the same monthly rate and the same membership fee<span>.</span>

Are the following equations equivalent why or why not Branilist for people who explain
wariber [46]

Answer:

Yes, they are equivilant

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3m+2p)-4m = 13p+11m-3p

Distribute 5: 15m+10p-4m = 13p+11m-3p

Combine like terms: 15m+(-4m) = 11m ; 13p+(-3p) = 10p

11m+10p = 11m+10p
