Let x be the amount of time (in minutes) that a particular San Francisco commuter must wait for a BART train. Suppose that the d

ensity curve is as pictured below (a uniform distribution):
(a) What is the probability that x is less than 11 min? more than 14 min? P (x is less than 11 minutes) = P (x is more than 14 minutes) =

(b) What is the probability that x is between 8 and 13 min? P (x is between 8 and 13 minutes) =

(c) Find the value c for which P(x < c) = .8. c = mins You may need to use the appropriate table in Appendix A to answer this question.

Your question is not complete, as you have not provided the uniform distribution, please see attached to view the distribution, as (0, 0.05) and (20, 0.05).

Answer:

A. I) 0.45

II) 0.3

B) 0.25

C) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability will be calculated using (base)(height). Since the height is static at 0.05, which is the density and the base is the X values. Therefore the probability will be a function of minutes which is the X values.

                    A.

I) The probability that X is less than 11 minutes (X<11)

(0.05)(20-11)

0.05 × 9= 0.45

II) The probability that X is greater than 14 minutes is (X>14)

(0.05)(20-14)

0.05 × 6 = 0.3

                    B.

The probability that X is between 8 and 13 minutes (8<X<13)

(0.05)(13-8)

0.05 × 5 = 0.25

                    C.

(X<c)= 0.8 find the value of c

Since the probability is (base)(height)

Therefore;

(0.05)(20-c) = 0.8

Multiply bracket

1-0.05c = 0.8

1 - 0.8 = 0.05c

0.2 = 0.05c

C = 0.2 ÷ 0.05

C = 4

Answer:

a) P (x is less than 11 minutes) =  0.55

P (x is more than 14 minutes) = 0.3

b) P (x is between 8 and 13 minutes) = 0.25

c)  P(x < c) =0.8 is 0.05 x c = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P (x is less than 11 minutes) = 11 x 0.05

                                                 = 0.55

P (x is more than 14 minutes) = 0.05 x (20 - 14)

                                                = 0.05 x 6

                                                = 0.3

b) P (x is between 8 and 13 minutes) = 0.05 x (13 -8)

                                                            = 0.05 x 5

                                                             = 0.25

c)  P(x < c) =0.8

The area between 0 and c is 0.8

Hence,

0.05 x c = 0.8

(4.1.4) Let X and Y be Bernoulli random variables. Let Z = X + Y. a. Show that if X and Y cannot both be equal to 1, then Z is a
Fynjy0 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a)

X ~ Bernoulli (p_x) and Y ~ Bernoulli (y_x)

X + Y = Z

The possible value for Z are Z = 0 when X = 0 and Y = 0

and Z = 1 when X = 0 and Y = 1 or when X = 1 and Y = 0

If X and Y can not be both equal to 1 , then the probability mass function of the random variable Z takes on the value of 0 for any value of Z other than 0 and 1,

Therefore Z is a Bernoulli random variable

b)

If X and Y can not be both equal to  1

then,

p_z = P(X=1 or Y=1)\\

p_z = P(X=1)+P(Y=1)-P(=1 and Y =1)

p_z = P(x=1)+P(Y=1)\\\\p_z=p_x+p_y

c)

If both X = 1 and Y = 1 then Z = 2

The possible values of the random variable Z are 0, 1 and 2.

since a  Bernoulli variable should be take on only values 0 and 1 the random variable Z does not have Bernoulli distribution

Help plz!! The function h(t)=-16t^2+22t+4 models the height (h) of a football t seconds after it is thrown. The question ask to
Black_prince [1.1K]
If you're familiar with the quadratic equation
\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

well, \frac{ -b}{2a} is the x component of the vertex, in your case, the vertex is the highest point

figure out what t is at the highest point, and then substitute that back into the equation in order to determine height

Help me w this multiple choice!
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin(30)  =  \frac{n}{ \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{3} }   \\ 0.5 =  \frac{n}{5.77} \\ n = 2.88 =  \frac{5 \sqrt{3} }{3}

\cos(30)  =  \frac{m}{ \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{3} }  \\ 0.866 =  \frac{m}{5.77}  \\ m = 5
