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.

Hello , how to do 6(iii)?
Doss [256]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{3}{50r}

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is being pumped into an inflated rubber sphere at a constant rate of 0.03 cubic meters per second.

So, dV/dt = 0.03.

We want to show that dS/dt is directly proportional to 1/r.

In other words, we want to establish the relationship that dS/dt  = k(1/r), where k is some constant.

First, the volume of a sphere V is given by:

\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}

Next, the surface area of a sphere S is given by:

\displaystyle S=4\pi r^2

Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

We can divide both sides by 2:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\frac{dS}{dt}=4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

We can substitute this into dV/dt. Rewriting:

\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=r\Big(4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}\Big)

So:

\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}r\frac{dS}{dt}

Since dV/dt = 0.03 or 3/100:

\displaystyle \frac{3}{100}=\frac{1}{2}r\frac{dS}{dt}

Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{3}{50r}=\frac{3}{50}\Big(\frac{1}{r}\Big)

Where k = 3/50.

And we have shown that dS/dt is directly proportional to 1/r.

Csc x= -√2 for π≤x≤3π/2
love history [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write this as Sinx by "flipping" the -\sqrt{2}.

So we will have:  Sin(x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

From basic trigonometry, we know the value of  \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}  of sine is of the angle \frac{\pi}{4}

<em>But when is sine negative? </em>Either in 3rd or 4th quadrant. But the answer has to be between 0 and  \frac{3\pi}{2}, <em>so we disregard 4th quadrant.</em>

<em />

<em>To get the angle in 3rd quadrant, we add π to the acute angle of the first quadrant (which is π/4 in our case).</em><u><em> Thus we have:</em></u>

\frac{\pi}{4}+\pi\\=\frac{\pi +4\pi}{4}\\=\frac{5\pi}{4}

A is the right answer.

Write 0.18 in the standard form
salantis [7]
Hello there!

Standard form is used for large or small numbers. It is between 1 and 10 times 10 to the power of something.
In this case, your answer is 1.8 x 10^{-1}.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
