Answer:

a) 0.4

b) 0.6            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The time students wait for a bus can be described by a uniform random variable X, where X is between 5 minutes and 75 minutes.

a = 5, b = 75

Then,

f(x) = \displaystyle\frac{1}{b-a} = \frac{1}{75-5} = \frac{1}{70}

We are given a uniform distribution.

a) P(student will wait between 5 and 33 minutes)

P( 5 < x < 33)

=\displaystyle\int_{33}^{5} f(x) dx\\\\=\displaystyle\int_{33}^{5} \frac{1}{70}dx\\\\=\frac{1}{70}[x]_{33}^{5} = \frac{1}{70}(33-5) = 0.4

b) P(a student will have to wait at least 33 minutes)

P(33 < x < 75)

=\displaystyle\int_{75}^{33} f(x) dx\\\\=\displaystyle\int_{75}^{33} \frac{1}{70}dx\\\\=\frac{1}{70}[x]_{75}^{33} = \frac{1}{70}(75-33) = 0.6

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

$40 million

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Current value = 125%

which means that current value is 25% more than its initial value.

Let Initial Value = X

So, Increase in investment value = 25% × X  =  0.25X

Given, increase value = $10million

So, 0.25X = $10 million

= X = $10million

= X = $10million ÷ 0.25

= X = $40 million

Hence the initial value of investment is $40million.

Given that f(x)=6x+2 and g(x)= 2x+4/5 solve for g(f(1))
kolbaska11 [484]

Note that f(1) = 6(1)+2 = 8.  Next, evaluate g(x) at x=8:  g(f(1)) = g(8) = 2(8) + 4/5, or 16 4/5.
