ding to a Poisson process with rate 7 per hour. Suppose a train has just left the station. Let X denote the number of people who get on the next train. What are the E[X] and VAR[X]?

Answer:

The value of E(X) =\frac{7}{2}.

The value of Var (X)= \frac{91}{12}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The number of hours between successive train arrivals at the station is uniformly distributed on (0, 1). Passengers arrive according to a Poisson process with rate 7 per hour.

Let X denote the number of people who get on the next train.

Part (A)

Here, X = N(T), N(t) ∼ Poisson(λt),  and λ = 7

Therefore, E(N(T)|T) = λT

Now find E(X) as shown below

E(X) = E(N(T))

E(X) = E(E(N(T)|T))

E(X) = E(\lambda T) = \frac{7}{2}

Hence, the value of E(X) =\frac{7}{2}.

Part (B)

Now we need to find VAR[X]

Var (X) = Var (E(N(T)|T)) +E(Var (X|T))

Var (X)= E(\lambda T)+Var (\lambda T)

Var (X)= \frac{49}{12}+\frac{7}{2}

Var (X)= \frac{91}{12}

Hence, the value of Var (X)= \frac{91}{12}

A dog owner is told by the veterinarian that his dog, Max, is overweight and needs to lose 4 to 5 pounds in order to live a heal
hodyreva [135]
This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b

where x is the number of visit,  b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.

m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)

1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb

Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.

Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25

Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x

Now round to the nearest tenth:

y = 126.3 - 0.3x

Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x

2. What are the solutions to the quadratic equation
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The answer is x=5 and x=−5

x² - 25 = 0

(x-5)(x+5)=0

x²-5x+5x-25=0

x-5=0 x+5=0

x=5 or x=-5
