Let X1, X2 and X3 be three independent random variables that are uniformly distributed between 50 and 100.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) the probability that the minimum of the three is between 75 and 90 is 0.00072

b) the probability that the second smallest of the three is between 75 and 90 is 0.396

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

fx(x) = { 1/5 ; 50 < x < 100

0, otherwise}

Fx(x) = { x-50 / 50 ; 50 < x < 100

1 ; x > 100

a)

n = 3

F(1) (x) = nf(x) ( 1-F(x)^n-1

= 3 × 1/50 ( 1 - ((x-50)/50)²

= 3/50 (( 100 - x)/50)²

=3/50³ ( 100 - x)²

Therefore P ( 75 < (x) < 90) = ⁹⁰∫₇₅ 3/50³ ( 100 - x)² dx

= 3/50³ [ -2 (100 - x ]₇₅⁹⁰

= (3 ( -20 + 50)) / 50₃

= 9 / 12500 = 0.00072

b)

f(k) (x) = nf(x) ( ⁿ⁻¹_k₋ ₁) ( F(x) )^k-1 ; ( 1 - F(x) )^n-k

Now for n = 3, k = 2

f(2) (x) = 3f(x) × 2 × (x-50 / 50) ( 1 - (x-50 / 50))

= 6 × 1/50 × ( x-50 / 50) ( 100-x / 50)

= 6/50³ ( 150x - x² - 5000 )

therefore

P( 75 < x2 < 90 ) = 6/50³ ⁹⁰∫₇₅ ( 150x - x² - 5000 ) dx

= 99 / 250 = 0.396

Wich expression best estimates - 18 1/4 divided by 2 2/3

yKpoI14uk [10]

-18/3

18/(-3)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The complete question is as follows:

________________________________________________

Which expression best estimates -18 1/4 divided by 2 2/3?

18/3

-18/3

-18/(-3)

18/(-3)

________________________________________________

So in this exercise, we have two mixed fractions. This type of fractions comes from the combination of a whole number and a proper fraction fraction (numerator less than denominator). In order to solve this problem, we need to transform these mixed fractions into improper fractions (numerator greater than denominator). So:

$-18 \frac{1}{4}=-\left(18+\frac{1}{4}\right) \\ \\ Cross \ Multiplication\ -\left(\frac{18\times4+1}{4}\right) \\ \\ Solving \ numerator \ -\frac{72+1}{4} \\ \\ Simplifying \ -\frac{73}{4}$

$2 \frac{2}{3}=2+\frac{2}{3} \\ \\ Cross \ Multiplication\ \frac{2\times 3+2}{3} \\ \\ Solving \ numerator \ \frac{6+2}{3} \\ \\ Simplifying \ \frac{8}{3}$

By dividing:

$\frac{-\frac{73}{4}}{\frac{8}{3}} \\ \\ It's \ the \ same \ as: \\ \\ -\frac{73\times 3}{8\times 4}=-\frac{219}{32} \approx -6.84$

<em>So the expressions that best estimates -18 1/4 divided by 2 2/3 are:</em>

<em>-18/3 </em>

<em>18/(-3)</em>

<em>Whose value in decimal form is -6.0</em>
