A parabolic satellite dish reflects signals to the dish’s focal point. An antenna designer analyzed signals transmitted to a sat

ellite dish and obtained the probability density function f(x) = c(1 - 1/16x^2) for 0 < x < 3, where X is the distance (in meters) from the centroid of the dish surface to a reflection point at which a signal arrives. Determine the value of c that makes f(x) a valid probability density function

Answer:

c=\frac{16}{39}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function is :

f(x)=c(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})

With 0 < x < 3

To be a valid probability density function :

\int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \,dx=1

Where a < x < b

And also

f(x) ≥ 0 for a < x < b

Applying this to the probability density function of the exercise :

\int\limits^3_0 {c(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})} \, dx=1

c\int\limits^3_0 {(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})} \, dx=1

c(3-\frac{1}{16}\frac{3^{3}}{3})=1

c(\frac{39}{16})=1

c=\frac{16}{39}

We can verify by replacing ''c'' in the original probability density function and integrating :

\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{16}{39}(1-\frac{1}{16}x^{2})} \, dx=

=\frac{16}{39}.(3)-\frac{1}{39}.(\frac{3^{3}}{3})=\frac{16}{13}-\frac{3}{13}=\frac{13}{13}=1

Also, f(x) ≥ 0 for 0 < x < 3

A number cube was rolled as part of an experiment. The results are shown in the table. Explain how to find the experimental prob
pychu [463]

The experimental probability of rolling a 6 is 9/60  which can be determined by dividing the frequency of the observation 6 with the total frequency of the experiment.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Experimental probability is different from theoretical probability because the former is obtained by experimentation  while the latter is what we expect theoretically.When we take a number of observations, the experimental probability and theoretical probability need not be the same.

In this question we have to determine the experimental probability of 6. It can be determined by dividing the frequency of the observation 6 by the total frequency of the experiment.

frequency of 6=9

total frequency=frequency of 1+frequency of 2+frequency of 3+frequency of 4+frequency of 5+frequency of 6

=13+11+9+8+10+9

=60

P(6)=frequency of 6/total frequency

=9/60

Am I correct ? If not the question is refer to the figure to complete this proportion r/h=h/? Answers A)r B)s C)h D)c
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Here we have two right triangles. And in such case we have to use altitude rule which is

ratio of part of hypotenue and altitude= ratio of altitude and remaining part of hypotenuse

So we get

r/h =h/s

So the correct option is s .
