Long ago, people decided to divide the day into units called hours. They chose 24 as the number of hours in one day. Why is 24 a

more convenient choice than 23 or 25?

Because 24 is an even number. This means it has more factors and is easier to divide into integers than 23 or 25.

Suppose that contamination particle size (in micrometers) canbe modeled as

asambeis [7]

Answer:

c) 2

d) 0.96

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$f(x) = 2x^{-3}, x > 1\\~~~~~~~= 0, x \leq 1$

a) probability density function.

$\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{\infty}f(x) dx = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{-\infty}2x^{-3}dx = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{1}2x^{-3}dx\\\\\Rightarrow \big[-x^{-2}\big]^{\infty}_1\\\\\Rightarrow -(0-1) = 1$

Thus, it is a probability density function.

b) cumulative distribution function.

$P(X$

c) mean of the distribution

$\mu = \displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{-\infty}xf(x) dx\\\\\mu = \int^{\infty}_12x^{-2}dx\\\\\mu = (-\frac{2}{x})^{\infty}_{1}\\\\\mu = 2$

d) probability that the size of random particle will be less than 5 micrometers

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: 30 students more voted for Gerardo than for Juju.

Explanation:

<u>so 'x' represent the total number of students</u>

<u />

<u>0.40x of the students voted for Gerardo</u>

<u />

<u>0.35x of the students voted for Leandro</u>

<u />

<u>0.25x of the students voted for Juju</u>

<u />

<u>70 students voted for Leandro:</u>

<u />

<u>0.35x = 70 </u>

<u />

<u>by solving we find:</u>

<u />

<u>x = 200 students</u>

<u />

<u>0.40x - 0.25x = (0.40 - 0.25)x = 0.15x = 0.15*200 = 30</u>
