Answer:

Correct answer is option D. 96.4 yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached figure for labeling of the given diagram.

ABC is a triangle with the following labeling:

A is the hole, B is the Tee and C is the point where the ball is.

Sides are labeled as:

a =255\ yd\\c = 305\ yd\\\angle B =17^\circ

To find:

Side b = ?

Solution:

Here, we have one angle and two sides . Third side of the triangle is to be found opposite to the given angle.

We can use cosine formula here to find the value of the unknown side.

cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2ac}

Putting all the values:

cos 17 = \dfrac{255^{2}+305^{2}-b^{2}}{2\times 255\times 305}\\\Rightarrow 0.956 = \dfrac{65025+93025-b^{2}}{155550}\\\Rightarrow 148753.2= 158050-b^{2}\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= 158050-148753.2\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= 9296.795\\\Rightarrow b= 96.42\ yd

So, the distance between the Ball and hole is 96.42 yd

Correct answer is option D. 96.4 yd.

2) X and Y are jointly continuous with joint pdf
Nady [450]

From what I gather from your latest comments, the PDF is given to be

f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}cxy&\text{for }0\le x,y \le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

and in particular, <em>f(x, y)</em> = <em>cxy</em> over the unit square [0, 1]², meaning for 0 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 1. (As opposed to the unbounded domain, <em>x</em> ≤ 0 *and* <em>y</em> ≤ 1.)

(a) Find <em>c</em> such that <em>f</em> is a proper density function. This would require

\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1 cxy\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=c\left(\int_0^1x\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y\,\mathrm dy\right)=\frac c{2^2}=1\implies \boxed{c=4}

(b) Get the marginal density of <em>X</em> by integrating the joint density with respect to <em>y</em> :

f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^1 4xy\,\mathrm dy=(2xy^2)\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=1}=\begin{cases}2x&\text{for }0\le x\le 1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

(c) Get the marginal density of <em>Y</em> by integrating with respect to <em>x</em> instead:

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_0^14xy\,\mathrm dx=\begin{cases}2y&\text{for }0\le y\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

(d) The conditional distribution of <em>X</em> given <em>Y</em> can obtained by dividing the joint density by the marginal density of <em>Y</em> (which follows directly from the definition of conditional probability):

f_{X\mid Y}(x\mid y)=\dfrac{f_{X,Y}(x,y)}{f_Y(y)}=\begin{cases}2x&\text{for }0\le x\le 1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

(e) From the definition of expectation:

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1 x\,f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=4\left(\int_0^1x^2\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y\,\mathrm dy\right)=\boxed{\frac23}

E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1 y\,f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=4\left(\int_0^1x\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y^2\,\mathrm dy\right)=\boxed{\frac23}

E[XY]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1xy\,f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=4\left(\int_0^1x^2\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y^2\,\mathrm dy\right)=\boxed{\frac49}

(f) Note that the density of <em>X</em> | <em>Y</em> in part (d) identical to the marginal density of <em>X</em> found in (b), so yes, <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are indeed independent.

The result in (e) agrees with this conclusion, since E[<em>XY</em>] = E[<em>X</em>] E[<em>Y</em>] (but keep in mind that this is a property of independent random variables; equality alone does not imply independence.)

If there are 350 boys in a school with a total of 800 students, then what percent of the students are girls?
tester [92]

Answer:

56.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

800 - 350 = 450

1% of 800 = 8 (800 divided by 100)

450 divided by 8 = 56.25
