Answer:

(a) The mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b) The standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c) The probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d) The probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e) The probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the births between the 52 weeks of the year.

The random variable <em>X</em> is uniformly distributed with parameters <em>a</em> = 1 to <em>b</em> = 53.

The probability distribution function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ a

(a)

Compute the mean of the Uniformly distributed random  variable <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)

         =\frac{1}{2}\times (1+53)

         =27

Thus, the mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b)

Compute the standard deviation of the  Uniformly distributed random  variable <em>X</em> as follows:

SD(X)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (b-a)^{2}}

            =\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (53-1)^{2}}

            =15.01

Thus, the standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c)

Compute the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 as follows:

Use continuity correction.

P (X = 36) = P (36 - 0.5 < X < 36 + 0.5)

                = P (35.5 < X < 36.5)

                =\int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{\frac{1}{53-1}}}\, dx\\

                =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{1}\, dx

                =\frac{36.5-35.5}{52}

                =0.0192

Thus, the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d)

Compute the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 as follows:

P(8

                        =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{45}_{8}{1}\, dx

                        =\frac{45-8}{52}

                        =0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e)

Compute the probability that a person is born after week 16 as follows:

P(X>16)=\int\limits^{53}_{16}{\frac{1}{53-1}}\, dx

                 =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{53}_{16}{1}\, dx

                 =\frac{53-16}{52}

                 =0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.

Consider the function FX equals -2/3 X -24 which conclusions can be drawn about F negative 1X select two options a F negative 1X
omeli [17]

The conclusions that can be drawn about f–1(x) are:

  • f^-^1(x) has an x-intercept of (-36, 0)
  • f^-^1(x) has a range of all real numbers.

<h3>Calculations and Parameters:</h3>

Given:

f(x) = \frac{-2}{3}x - 24

f(x) + 24 = \frac{-2}{3}x

To find x, we would multiply both sides by -2/3

= x= \frac{-3}{2} (f(x) + 24)

f^-^1(x) = -\frac{3}{2} (0) - 36

f^-^1(x) = -36

Therefore, f^-^1(x)  has an x-intercept of (-36, 0)

Furthermore, f^-^1(x) has a range of all real numbers.

The equation of a line is -6x - 2y = -18. What is the x-intercept &amp; y-intercept of the line?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: y int: (0,9)    x int: (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

In slope intercept form, the equation is y=-3x+9. In the formula y=mx+b, we know b is the y intercept, so our y int. is 9. To find our x intercept, we set y=0. So, 0=-3x+9=>3x=9=>x=3
