Answer:

(a) The value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b) The value of P (X > 20) is 0.1353.

(c) The value of P (X < 30) is 0.9502.

(d) The value of x is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of an exponential distribution is:

f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0, \lambda>0

The value of E (X) is 10.

The parameter λ is:

\lambda=\frac{1}{E(X)}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=e^{-0.10\times10}\\=0.3679

Thus, the value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X > 20) as follows:

P(X>20)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=e^{-0.10\times20}\\=0.1353

Thus, the value of P (X > 20) is 0.1353.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X < 30) as follows:

P(X

Thus, the value of P (X < 30) is 0.9502.

(d)

It is given that, P (X < x) = 0.95.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

P(X

Take natural log on both sides.

ln(e^{-0.10x})=ln(0.05)\\-0.10x=-2.996\\x=\frac{2.996}{0.10}\\ =29.96\\\approx30

Thus, the value of x is 30.

Elias received a W-2 showing total compensations of $36,038. What is the amount of FICA tax he paid for the year? A) $522.55 B)
e-lub [12.9K]
FICA or Federal Insurance Contributions Act is composed of social security tax and medicare tax. Hence, we need to add these taxes to get the FICA tax.Social Security Tax is = 6.2%Medicare Tax is = 1.45%
Social Security Tax = 36,038*.062 = 2,234.356         Medicare Tax = 36,038*.0145 = 522.552
2,234.356 + 522.552 = 2,756.907 or 2,756.91
Therefore, Elias paid B.) 2,756.91 as FICA tax for the year.

A length is measured at 21 cm correct to two significant figures, what is the lower bound of the length and upper bound?
Andreyy89

Answer:

20.5 and 21.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 2 significant figures so the least it can possibly be is 0.5 less and the most it can be is 0.5 more as if it was, lets say 20.4 it would round down to 20 not 21.

Please help me. I have an idea of what the answer might be but I’m not sure so I need you to help me clarify if I was correct so

Hello!

<em>According to the diagram, your answer is</em> <em>D.) Some Elephants have tusks</em>

If the entire circle labeled "Elephants" was inside the circle labeled "Animals With Tusks," it would be A, but that is not the case. only part of it is inside. so D is the correct answer.

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Three terms of an arithmetic sequence are shown below. Which recursive formula defines the sequence?: f(1) = 6, f(4) = 12, f(7)
Gala2k [10]
A = 6
tn = a + (n - 1)d
t4 = 6 + 3d = 12
3d = 12 - 6 = 6
d = 6/3 = 2
f(n + 1) = f(n) + 2
