Answer:

f1 ( x ) valid pdf . f2 ( x ) is invalid pdf

k = 1 / 18 , i ) 0.6133 , ii ) 0.84792

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

A) The two pdfs ( f1 ( x ) and f2 ( x ) ) are given as follows:

                      f_1(x) = \left \{ {{0.5(3x-x^3) } .. 0 < x < 2  \atop {0} } \right. \\\\f_2(x) = \left \{ {{0.3(3x-x^2) } .. 0 < x < 2  \atop {0} } \right. \\

- To check the legitimacy of a continuous probability density function the area under the curve over the domain must be equal to 1. In other words the following:

                    \int\limits^a_b {f_1( x )} \, dx = 1\\\\ \int\limits^a_b {f_2( x )} \, dx = 1\\

- We will perform integration of each given pdf as follows:

                    \int\limits^a_b {f_1(x)} \, dx  = \int\limits^2_0 {0.5(3x - x^3 )} \, dx \\\\\int\limits^a_b {f_1(x)} \, dx  = [ 0.75x^2 - 0.125x^4 ]\limits^2_0\\\\\int\limits^a_b {f_1(x)} \, dx  = [ 0.75*(4) - 0.125*(16) ]\\\\\int\limits^a_b {f_1(x)} \, dx  = [ 3 - 2 ] = 1\\

                    \int\limits^a_b {f_2(x)} \, dx  = \int\limits^2_0 {0.5(3x - x^2 )} \, dx \\\\\int\limits^a_b {f_1(x)} \, dx  = [ 0.75x^2 - \frac{x^3}{6}  ]\limits^2_0\\\\\int\limits^a_b {f_1(x)} \, dx  = [ 0.75*(4) - \frac{(8)}{6} ]\\\\\int\limits^a_b {f_1(x)} \, dx  = [ 3 - 1.3333 ] = 1.67 \neq 1 \\

Answer: f1 ( x ) is a valid pdf; however, f2 ( x ) is not a valid pdf.

B)

- A random variable ( X ) denotes the resistance of a randomly chosen resistor, and the pdf is given as follows:

                     f ( x ) = kx   if  8 ≤ x ≤ 10

                                0  otherwise.

- To determine the value of ( k ) we will impose the condition of validity of a probability function as follows:

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

- Evaluate the integral as follows:

                      \int\limits^1_8 {kx} \, dx = 1\\\\\frac{kx^2}{2} ]\limits^1^0_8 = 1\\\\k* [ 10^2 - 8^2 ] = 2\\\\k = \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18}... Answer

- To determine the CDF of the given probability distribution we will integrate the pdf from the initial point ( 8 ) to a respective value ( x ) as follows:

                      cdf = F ( x ) = \int\limits^x_8 {f(x)} \, dx\\\\F ( x ) = \int\limits^x_8 {\frac{x}{18} } \, dx\\\\ F ( x ) = [ \frac{x^2}{36} ] \limits^x_8\\\\F ( x ) = \frac{x^2 - 64}{36}

To determine the probability p ( 8.6 ≤ x ≤ 9.8 ) we will utilize the cdf as follows:

                    p ( 8.6 ≤ x ≤ 9.8 ) = F ( 9.8 ) - F ( 8.6 )

                    p ( 8.6 ≤ x ≤ 9.8 ) = \frac{(9.8)^2 - 64}{36} - \frac{(8.6)^2 - 64}{36} = 0.61333

ii) To determine the conditional probability we will utilize the basic formula as follows:

                p ( x ≤ 9.8  | x ≥ 8.6 ) = p ( 8.6 ≤ x ≤ 9.8 ) / p ( x ≥ 8.6 )

                p ( x ≤ 9.8  | x ≥ 8.6 ) = 0.61333 / [ 1 - p ( x ≤ 8.6 ) ]

                p ( x ≤ 9.8  | x ≥ 8.6 ) = 0.61333 / [ 1 - 0.27666 ]

                p ( x ≤ 9.8  | x ≥ 8.6 ) = 0.61333 / [ 0.72333 ]

                p ( x ≤ 9.8  | x ≥ 8.6 ) = 0.84792 ... answer

Find the midpoint of diagonal AC of ABCD
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

M= (1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have from the picture:

A = (-3,5)

C = (5, 1)

M = Midpoint

M =((x1+x2)/2), ((y1+y2)/2)

so we have:

x1= -3     y1 = 5

x2= 5     y2= 1

M= ((-3+5)/2) , ((5+1)/2)

M = ((2/2) , (6/2))

M= (1, 3)

In a certain year the price of gasoline rose by 20% during January, fell by 20% during February, rose by 25% in March, and fell
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Fell by 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

+20% January

-20% February (20-20 is zero, so we're back to the original price we started at here)

+25% March

?? April

Currently, we are 25% more than what we had, so to get back to normal, the price needs to go down by 25 percent. This will put us back to zero. Put another way...

+20%-20%+25%-25%=0% (Original Price)

Sharika can finish the work in 6 days and Palkey can do the same work in 8 days. They both worked together for for 2 days then P
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Sharika needs 2.5 days to finish the remaining work

Step-by-step explanation:

Sharika can do a work in 6 days palkey can do it in 8 days

Then the amount of work sharika can do in 1 day = 1/6

And the amount of work palkey can do in 1 day = 1/8

The amount of work both of them can do together in 1 day = 1/6 + 1/8

= 7/24

The amount of work both of them can do together in 2 day = (2× 7/24)

= 7/12

Since Palkey left the work,the amount of

work remaining for Sharika to do alone = (1 - 7/12 )

= 5/12

The number of days Sharika take to finish the remainig work. = (5/12 ÷ 1/6 )

= 5/2 days

Therefore, Sharika needs 2.5 days to finish the remaining work.
