Hey!

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

Rational Number - Any number that can be written as a fraction.

Prime Number - Is a number that it's only factor is 1 and itself.

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

Solution and Answer:

15/17 ≈ 0.88

15/17 cannot be simplified because 17 is a prime number and both numbers don't have common prime factors.

Answer:

a) P(x<5)=0.

b) E(X)=15.

c) P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) P=0.216.

e) P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{10},\, \, \, 10\leq x\leq 20 } \atop {0, \, \, \, \, \, \, otherwise }} \right.$

a) We calculate the probability that you need less than 5 minutes to get up:

$P(x$

Therefore, the probability is P(x<5)=0.

b) It takes us between 10 and 20 minutes to get up. The expected value is to get up in 15 minutes.

E(X)=15.

c) We calculate the probability that you will need between 8 and 13 minutes:

$P(8\leq x\leq 13)=P(10\leqx\leq 13)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot [x]_{10}^{13}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot (13-10)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{3}{10}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=0.3$

Therefore, the probability is P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) We calculate the probability that you will be late to each of the 9:30am classes next week:

$P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{14}^{20}\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\P(x>14)=0.6$
