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

If the APY of a savings account is 3.9%, and if the principal in the savings account is $3700 for an entire year, what will be t
joja [24]

Answer:

Option B. \$3,844.30

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=1\ years\\ P=\$3,700\\r=0.039

substitute in the formula above

A=\$3,700(1+0.039*1)=\$3,844.30
