Answer:

(a) The value of fₓ (9.5) is 0.125.

(b) The value of fₓ (10.5) is 0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote delivery time of the mail delivered by Alice and <em>Y</em> denote delivery time of the mail delivered by Bob.

It i provided that:

X\sim U(9, 11)\\Y\sim U(10, 12)

The probability that Alice delivers the mail is, <em>p</em> = 1/4.

The probability that Bob delivers the mail is, <em>q</em> = 3/4.

The probability density function of a Uniform distribution with parameters [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] is:

f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ a, b>0} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

The probability density function of the delivery time of Alice is:

f(X_{A})=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}=\frac{1}{2};\ [a, b]=[9, 11]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

The probability density function of the delivery time of Bob is:

f(X_{B})=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}=\frac{1}{2};\ [a, b]=[10, 12]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

(a)

Compute the value of fₓ (9.5) as follows:

For delivery time 9.5, only Alice can do the delivery because Bob delivers the mail in the time interval 10 to 12.

The value of fₓ (9.5) is:

f_{X}(9.5)=p.f(X_{A})+q.f(X_B})\\=(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2})+(\frac{3}{4}\times0)\\=\frac{1}{8}\\=0.125

Thus, the value of fₓ (9.5) is 0.125.

(b)

Compute the value of fₓ (10.5) as follows:

For delivery time 10.5, both Alice and Bob can do the delivery because Alice's delivery time is in the interval 9 to 11 and that of Bob's is in the time interval 10 to 12.

The value of fₓ (10.5) is:

f_{X}(10.5)=p.f(X_{A})+q.f(X_B})\\=(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2})+(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{2})\\=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{8}\\=0.50

Thus, the value of fₓ (10.5) is 0.50.

Chad and Victoria are playing a game with a quarter and a spinner divided into sixths numbered one through six each player spins
rodikova [14]
The simple way to do this is to multiply the number of outcomes of one object times the number of outcomes in the other object. In this case a quarter has 2 sides, heads and tails. Since the spinner has 6 sections, there are 6 outcomes.


With this we can do, 2x6=12.

Therefore there are 12 outcomes

Divide the following fractions and reduce to lowest terms 2/3 divided by 4/5
pshichka [43]
Well to divide 2 fraction you first have to find a least common number between the 2 bottom numbers in the fractions, we know automaticall that 15 fits in both the 3 and the 5. now u have to find out what to multiply by each number to get 15, for example what number do you multiply by 3 to get 15?? well it will be 5, so go ahead and multiply it by the fraction (note that what you do  in the bottom you have to do in the top) this will give you 10/15, because I multiplied the top and bottom number by 5... lets try the other one what number do you multiply by 5 to get 15?? well it will be 3 so go ahead and multiply that to get 12/15.. now add the top numbers (note that the bottoms always stay the same, you never add or subtract them) when you do you will get 22/15, now you have to see if you can simplify it any further in this case you can't so your final answer is 22/15

Hope this helps
