Answer:

The total number of pants in Mary's closet = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

40% of slacks in her closet = 6 pairs

Let us assume the total pants in her closet = m

So, according to the given data:

40% of m = 6 pairs

$\implies \frac{40}{100} \times m = 6\\\implies m = 6 \times \frac{100}{4} = 15$

⇒ m = 15

Hence the total number fo pants in her closet = 15

Suppose that the length of a side of a cube X is uniformly distributed in the interval 9

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$9 < x < 10$ --- interval

Required

The probability density of the volume of the cube

The volume of a cube is:

$v = x^3$

For a uniform distribution, we have:

$x \to U(a,b)$

and

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}\ a \le x \le b} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$9 < x < 10$ implies that:

$(a,b) = (9,10)$

So, we have:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{10-9}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Solve

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{1}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Recall that:

$v = x^3$

Make x the subject

$x = v^\frac{1}{3}$

So, the cumulative density is:

$F(x) = P(x < v^\frac{1}{3})$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$ becomes

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le v^\frac{1}{3} - 9} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

The CDF is:

$F(x) = \int\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9 1\ dx$

Integrate

$F(x) = [v]\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9$

Expand

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

The density function of the volume F(v) is:

$F(v) = F'(x)$

Differentiate F(x) to give:

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{\frac{1}{3}-1}$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

$F(v) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

So:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

Shelly biked 21 miles in 4 hours (part A) what is Shelly's average speed in miles per hour (part B) at the same rate how many ho

Alex73 [517]

A) Divide total miles by total time:

21 miles / 4 hours = 5.25 miles per hour.

B) Divide miles by miles per hour:

42 miles / 5.25 miles per hour = 8 hours.

In the right triangle below, tanA = 0.45. What is the approximate length of AB?

garik1379 [7]

In the right triangle ABC wherein AB is the hypotenuse, BC is the opposite and CA is the adjacent tanA=0.45. The approximate length of AB which is the hypotenuse is 22, Opposite (BC) is 9 and Adjacent (CA) is 20. You need to use pythagorean formula in getting the length of AB.

YOUR ANSWER IS (22).

8/20 greater than or less than 2/10

kumpel [21]

8/20 is greater than 2/10. If you were to make the denominators the same, by mulipling 2x2 and 10x2, you would get 4/20, which is less than 8/20.
