Two points are selected randomly on a line of length L so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. [In other word

s, the two points X and Y are independent random variables such that X is uniformly distributed over (0, L/2) and Y is uniformly distributed over (L/2, L).] Find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than L/3.

Answer:

P(Y-X>L/3)=7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know  that  X is uniformly distributed over (0, L/2) and Y is uniformly distributed over (L/2, L).

We know that:

f(x,y)=f(x)·f(y)=\frac{1}{L/2}·\frac{1}{L/2}=4/L²

Therefore, the probability is  

P(Y-X>L/3)=∫∫ f(x,y) dx dy

P(Y-X>L/3)=∫∫ 4/L²   dx dy

We conclude that is  

P(Y-X>L/3)=1-P(Y-X≤L/3)

We know  that for the region  (0, L/2)x(L/2, L) where is satisfied Y-X≤L/3

is a right triangle with bases x∈(L/6, L/2) and y∈(L/2, 5L/6).

We calculate the area of that triangle:

p=1/2 · (L/3)²= L²/18

Now, we have

P(Y-X≤L/3)=4/L² ·  L²/18=4/18=2/9

Therefore, the probability is    

P(Y-X>L/3)=1-P(Y-X≤L/3)=1 - 2/9

P(Y-X>L/3)=7/9

Answer:

PV = 8 VT = 4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

PT = 4

With reference angle 30°

perpendicular (p) = 4

hypotenuse (h) = ?

sin 30° = p/h

1/ 2 = 4 / h

cross multiply

h = 8

with reference angle 60°

perpendicular (p) = ?

hypotenuse (h) = 8

sin 60° = p/h

√3 / 2 = p / 8

Cross multiply

2p = √3 * 8

p = 4 √3

Hope it's correct and would be helpful :)❤

B(7, 2) and C(-1,-9) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

(3,-3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid-point formula : \frac{ x_{1} +x_{2}} {2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2} \\\\x=\frac{7+(-1)}{2}         ,     y=  \frac{2+(-9)}{2} \\x= \frac{6}{2}              ,     y=  \frac{-7}{2} \\x=3                             ,    y= -3.5

Midpoint M of the line segment is (3,-3.5)

It's just a simple equation but the transversal has me stuck
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

∠VSR and ∠SRU are same- side interior angles and are supplementary, thus

5x + 4 + 44 + x = 180, that is

6x + 48 = 180 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

6x = 132 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 22

HELP PLEASE!!!! MULTIPLE CHOICE!!!
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

1.) a standard form and general equation

2.) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The conic forms have a standard form and general equation. Conic section is the intersection in the plane. The slope of intersecting plane is greater than the slope of the cone.

Latus Ractum of a parabola is the curve through the focus which is parallel to the directrix. Half latus rectum is called semilatus rectum. It is the chord which passes perpendicular to the principal axis of ellipse, parabola and hyperbola.

Jamie runs a math-tutoring program. For each student, she charges an enrollment fee of $63.00 plus $18.00 per hour of tutoring.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the third choice or letter C. The total number of hours is 17.

For h>7

C=210+20(h-7)

C=210+20h-140

C=20h+70, h>7

410=20h+70

20h=340

h=17 hours
