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.

What is Discount Comics is running a special: 20 comics for $5.00. Seth purchases 30 comics for $7.50. What is the sale price pe
Shalnov [3]
Since we are finding the unit rate of the cost per comic, we will need to divide $5 by 20 comics which you will get 0.25 cents and divide $7.50 by 30 comics which you will also get 0.25 cents.Therefore, the unit rate and constant of proportionality is 0.25 cents.
