Answer:

a)3.438% of the light bulbs will last more than 6262 hours.

b)11.31% of the light bulbs will last 5252 hours or less.

c) 23.655% of the light bulbs are going to last between 5858 and 6262 hours.

d) 0.12% of the light bulbs will last 4646 hours or less.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally distributed problems can be solved by the z-score formula:

On a normaly distributed set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a value X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

After we find the value of Z, we look into the z-score table and find the equivalent p-value of this score. This is the probability that a score will be LOWER than the value of X.

In this problem, we have that:

The lifetimes of light bulbs are approximately normally​ distributed, with a mean of 5656 hours and a standard deviation of 333.3 hours.

So \mu = 5656, \sigma = 333.3

(a) What proportion of light bulbs will last more than 6262 ​hours?

The pvalue of the z-score of X = 6262 is the proportion of light bulbs that will last less than 6262. Subtracting 100% by this value, we find the proportion of light bulbs that will last more than 6262 hours.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6262 - 5656}{333.3}

Z = 1.82

Z = 1.81 has a pvalue of .96562. This means that 96.562% of the light bulbs are going to last less than 6262 hours. So

P = 100% - 96.562% = 3.438% of the light bulbs will last more than 6262 hours.

​(b) What proportion of light bulbs will last 5252 hours or​ less?

This is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 5252

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5252- 5656}{333.3}

Z = -1.21

Z = -1.21 has a pvalue of .1131. This means that 11.31% of the light bulbs will last 5252 hours or less.

(c) What proportion of light bulbs will last between 5858 and 6262 ​hours?

This is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 6262 subtracted by the pvalue of the zscore X = 5858

For X = 6262, we have that Z = 1.81 with a pvalue of .96562.

For X = 5858

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5858- 5656}{333.3}

Z = 0.61

Z = 0.61 has a pvalue of .72907.

So, the proportion of light bulbs that will last between 5858 and 6262 hours is

P = .96562 - .72907 = .23655

23.655% of the light bulbs are going to last between 5858 and 6262 hours.

​(d) What is the probability that a randomly selected light bulb lasts less than 4646 ​hours?

This is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 4646

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{4646- 5656}{333.3}

Z = -3.03

Z = -3.03 has a pvalue of .0012. This means that 0.12% of the light bulbs will last 4646 hours or less.

I'm assuming \alpha is the shape parameter and \beta is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac29xe^{-x^2/9}&\text{for }x\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

a. The expectation is

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^2e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,

\Gamma(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t}\,\mathrm dt

For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking

u=x\implies\mathrm du=\mathrm dx

\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}

E[X]=\displaystyle-xe^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm x

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

Substitute x=3y^{1/2}, so that \mathrm dx=\dfrac32y^{-1/2}\,\mathrm dy:

E[X]=\displaystyle\frac32\int_0^\infty y^{-1/2}e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy

\boxed{E[X]=\dfrac32\Gamma\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{3\sqrt\pi}2\approx2.659}

The variance is

\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2-2XE[X]+E[X]^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2

The second moment is

E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^3e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

Integrate by parts, taking

u=x^2\implies\mathrm du=2x\,\mathrm dx

\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}

E[X^2]=\displaystyle-x^2e^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

E[X^2]=\displaystyle2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

Substitute x=3y^{1/2} again to get

E[X^2]=\displaystyle9\int_0^\infty e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy=9

Then the variance is

\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-E[X]^2

\boxed{\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-\dfrac94\pi\approx1.931}

b. The probability that X\le3 is

P(X\le 3)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^3f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^3xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get

\boxed{P(X\le 3)=\dfrac{e-1}e\approx0.632}

c. Same procedure as in (b). We have

P(1\le X\le3)=P(X\le3)-P(X\le1)

and

P(X\le1)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^1f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^1xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx=\frac{e^{1/9}-1}{e^{1/9}}

Then

\boxed{P(1\le X\le3)=\dfrac{e^{8/9}-1}e\approx0.527}

Find the area of each circle in terms of PI, the circles diameter is 2cm, what do i do know?
choli [55]
Given diameter 2cm
Find the area of a circle 
the formula for area of a circle 
A = pi r^2
the diameter is the radius times two 
so to find the radius given the diameter 2/2 = 1
radius is 1cm
pi is ~3.14
A = (3.14) * (1)^2
A = (3.14) * 1
A = 3.14

Hope this helps :)

I need help! I don't know how to get the answer or what it is. Can anyone help me it's for a test and I'm on my last attempt?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(4)

Using the sine ratio in  the right triangle

sinΘ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{7}{9}, thus

Θ = sin^{-1}(\frac{7}{9}) ≈ 51.1°

(5)

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tanΘ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{4}{5}, thus

Θ = tan^{-1}(\frac{4}{5}) ≈ 38.7°
