Ann [662]3 years ago

Answer:

a) k=6

b) P(Y1 ≤ 3/4, Y2 ≥ 1/2) =  9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

a) if

f (y1, y2) = k(1 − y2), 0 ≤ y1 ≤ y2 ≤ 1,  0, elsewhere

for f to be a probability density function , has to comply with the requirement that the sum of the probability of all the posible states is 1 , then

P(all possible values) = ∫∫f (y1, y2) dy1*dy2 = 1

then integrated between

y1 ≤ y2 ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y1 ≤ 1

∫∫f (y1, y2) dy1*dy2 =  ∫∫k(1 − y2) dy1*dy2 = k  ∫ [(1-1²/2)- (y1-y1²/2)] dy1 = k  ∫ (1/2-y1+y1²/2) dy1) = k[ (1/2* 1 - 1²/2 +1/2*1³/3)-  (1/2* 0 - 0²/2 +1/2*0³/3)] = k*(1/6)

then

k/6 = 1 → k=6

b)

P(Y1 ≤ 3/4, Y2 ≥ 1/2) = P (0 ≤Y1 ≤ 3/4, 1/2 ≤Y2 ≤ 1) = p

then

p = ∫∫f (y1, y2) dy1*dy2 = 6*∫∫(1 − y2) dy1*dy2 = 6*∫(1 − y2) *dy2 ∫dy1 =

6*[(1-1²/2)-((1/2) - (1/2)²/2)]*[3/4-0] = 6*(1/8)*(3/4)=  9/16

therefore

P(Y1 ≤ 3/4, Y2 ≥ 1/2) =  9/16

Use a proportion if two cassettes cost $14.50 How much will 15 cost
aev [14]
Cost/(number of cassettes) = $14.50/2 = x/15

Multiply by 15 to solve
   15*($14.50/2) = x = $108.75

15 cassettes will cost $108.75.

A farmer uses 3/5 of his land to grow cassava, 1/3 of the remainder for yam and the rest for maize. Find the part of the land us
alexira [117]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cassava = 1/3 of his land

Remaining after planting Cassava = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of his land

Maize = 2/5 x 2/3 = 4/15 of his land

Vegetables = 2/3 - 4/15 = 2/5 of his land

If vegetables = 10 acres

2/5 of his land = 10 acres

1/5 of his land = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 acres

5/5 of his land = 5 x 5 = 25 acres
