Looks like the PMF is supposed to be
which is kinda weird, but it's not entirely clear what you meant...
Anyway, assuming the PMF above, for this to be a valid PMF, we need the probabilities of all events to sum to 1:
Next,
If
, then
, where we take the positive root because we know
can only take on positive values, namely 1, 2, and 5. Correspondingly, we know that
can take on the values
,
, and
. At these values of
, we would have the same probability as we did for the respective value of
. That is,
Part (5) is incomplete, so I'll stop here.
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
it's non-linear
Answer:
480/(x+60) ≤ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the relations ...
time = distance/speed
distance = speed×time
speed = distance/time
to write the required inequality any of several ways.
Since the problem is posed in terms of time (7 hours) and an increase in speed (x), we can write the time inequality as ...
480/(60+x) ≤ 7
Multiplying this by the denominator gives us a distance inequality:
7(60+x) ≥ 480 . . . . . . at his desired speed, Neil will go no less than 480 miles in 7 hours
Or, we can write an inequality for the increase in speed directly:
480/7 -60 ≤ x . . . . . . x is at least the difference between the speed of 480 miles in 7 hours and the speed of 60 miles per hour
___
Any of the above inequalities will give the desired value of x.
