Milk is delivered to a chain of regional supermarkets once a week. If the weekly volume of sales in thousands of gallons is a ra

ndom variable with probability density function f(x) = 7(1 – x)^6 for 0 < x < 1 0 otherwise How much milk must the chain of supermarkets order for each delivery so that the probability of the supply being exhausted in a given week is just 2%?

Answer:

The chain of supermarkets must order 428.1 gallons of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the random variable X.

X : ''Weekly volume of sales in thousands of gallons''

X is a continuous random variable.

The probability density function for X is

f(x)=7(1-x)^{6} when 0 < x < 1

f(x)=0   Otherwise.

Let's denote as ''a'' to the quantity of milk for the question.

We are looking for :

P(X>a)=0.02

P(X>a)=\int\limits^1_a {f(x)} \, dx

P(X>a)=\int\limits^1_a {7(1-x)^{6}} \, dx

P(X>a)=(1-a)^{7}

(1-a)^{7}=0.02

a=1-\sqrt[7]{0.02}

a=0.4281

a is in thousands of gallons, therefore the chain of supermarkets must order  

428.1 gallons of milk in order to satisfy the question.

Jamal is running 42 kilometers. The amount of time t it takes Jamal to run varies inversely with the rate, r, at which he runs,
leva [86]

Answer:

t α 1 /r ; t = k/r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Time taken, t varies inverse as rate, r

MATHEMATICALLY,

t α 1 /r

Hence,

t = k/r ;

Where, k is the proportionality constant

Hence, the situation could be expressed as :

t = k/r OR

t α 1 /r
