Answer:
(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.
(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.
(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.
(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = temperature increase.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].
The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:
(a1)
Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:
Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.
(a2)
Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:
Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.
(b)
Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:
Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.
(c)
Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable <em>X</em> as follows:
Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.
Answer: The garden has dimensions 30 ft wide X 60 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote by W the width of the garden and L the length of the garden (longer side) as in the figure attached. The red sides on the figure represent the parts of the garden that require fencing.
L is also the measure of a vertical side of the garden, because a rectangle consists only of vertical and horizontal sides.
We know that the barn is parallel to the longer (vertical) side, so only one of the vertical sides L of the rectangle needs fencing. The other two parts correspond to the horizontal sides of the rectangle so they require 2W feet of fencing. Altogether, the 120 ft of fencing enclose the L+2W ft of the fence, then 120=L+2W. Because the longer side is twice the width, we have that L=2W, so 120=2W+2W=4W. From here, W=30 ft and L=2(30)= 60ft.
