Answer:

<h2>108 cubes</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$V_p=4\\\\\text{Calculate the volume of a cube:}\\\\V_{c}=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^3=\dfrac{1}{27}\\\\\text{Calculate how many times the volume of the prism is greater}\\\text{than the volume of the cube:}\\\\\dfrac{V_p}{V_c}=\dfrac{4}{\frac{1}{27}}=4\cdot27=108$

A crayon has a mass of 30 grams. How many crayons can be made with 30 kilograms of colored wax

PolarNik [594]

The conversion factor between kilo and base unit which is grams in this question is 1000 so there is 1000 grams in 1 kilogram so first we need to convert kilograms to grams so we multiply by 1000 so 30kgx1000= 30000 grams so to find the number of crayons then we divide by 30 which is the mass of one crayon to find out how many we need so 30000/30= 1000 so you would need 1000 crayons

There are three numbers a, b, c, where a > b and b >c. Describe the positions of the numbers on a number line.

AfilCa [17]

In maths, the “>” sign means “greater than”, or “bigger than.” If we say A > B, that means (in English) “A is bigger than B.”
So, if A > B and B > C:
A is bigger than B, and B is bigger than C.

So the smallest would be C, since both A and B are bigger. Next is B, and biggest is A.

That is the order they would be in a number line: C - B - A

If X and Y are independent continuous positive random

Leni [432]

a) $Z=\frac XY$ has CDF

$F_Z(z)=P(Z\le z)=P(X\le Yz)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}P(X\le yz\mid Y=y)P(Y=y)\,\mathrm dy$

$F_Z(z)\displaystyle=\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}P(X\le yz)P(Y=y)\,\mathrm dy$

where the last equality follows from independence of $X,Y$ . In terms of the distribution and density functions of $X,Y$ , this is

$F_Z(z)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}F_X(yz)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

Then the density is obtained by differentiating with respect to $z$ ,

$f_Z(z)=\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dz}\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}F_X(yz)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}yf_X(yz)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

b) $Z=XY$ can be computed in the same way; it has CDF

$F_Z(z)=P\left(X\le\dfrac zY\right)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}P\left(X\le\frac zy\right)P(Y=y)\,\mathrm dy$

$F_Z(z)\displaystyle=\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}F_X\left(\frac zy\right)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

Differentiating gives the associated PDF,

$f_Z(z)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}\frac1yf_X\left(\frac zy\right)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

Assuming $X\sim\mathrm{Exp}(\lambda_x)$ and $Y\sim\mathrm{Exp}(\lambda_y)$ , we have

$f_{Z=\frac XY}(z)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty y(\lambda_xe^{-\lambda_xyz})(\lambda_ye^{\lambda_yz})\,\mathrm dy$

$\implies f_{Z=\frac XY}(z)=\begin{cases}\frac{\lambda_x\lambda_y}{(\lambda_xz+\lambda_y)^2}&\text{for }z\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

and

$f_{Z=XY}(z)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac1y(\lambda_xe^{-\lambda_xyz})(\lambda_ye^{\lambda_yz})\,\mathrm dy$

$\implies f_{Z=XY}(z)=\lambda_x\lambda_y\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{e^{-\lambda_x\frac zy-\lambda_yy}}y\,\mathrm dy$

I wouldn't worry about evaluating this integral any further unless you know about the Bessel functions.
