Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the variable

X: number of bars of service on your cell phone.

The posible values of this variable are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

a. F(X) is the cummulative distribution function P(X≤x₀) you can calculate it by adding all the point probabilities for each value:

X: 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5

P(X): 0.15; 0.25; 0.25; 0.15; 0.1; 0.1

F(X): 0.15; 0.4; 0.65; 0.8; 0.9; 1

The maximum cumulative probability of any F(X) is 1, knowing this, you can calculate the probability of X=5 as: 1 - F(4)= 1 - 0.9= 0.1

b.

The mean of the sample is:

E(X)= ∑Xi*Pi= (0*0.15)+(1*0.25)+(2*0.25)+(3*0.15)+(4*0.1)+(5*0.1)

E(X)= 2.1

V(X)= E(X²)-(E(X))²

V(X)= ∑Xi²*Pi- (∑Xi*Pi)²= 6.7- (2.1)²= 2.29

∑Xi²*Pi= (0²*0.15)+(1²*0.25)+(2²*0.25)+(3²*0.15)+(4²*0.1)+(5²*0.1)= 6.7

c.

P(X<2)

You can read this expression as the probability of having less than 2 bars of service. This means you can have either one or zero service bars, you can rewrite it as:

P(X<2)= P(X≤1)= F(1)= 0.4

d.

P(X≤3.5)

This expression means "the probability of having at most (or less or equal to) 3.5 service bars", this variable doesn't have the value 3.5 in its definition range so you have to look for the accumulated probability until the lesser whole number. This expression includes the probabilities of X=0, X=1, X=2, and X=3, you can express it as the accumulated probability until 3, F(3):

P(X≤3.5)= P(X≤3)= F(3)= 0.80

I hope it helps!

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the probability of rain during a winter day is 0.42, for a spring day is 0.23, for a summer day
nadezda [96]

Answer:

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening

In this question:

Event A: Rain

Event B: Winter day

Probability of rain:

0.42 of 0.25(winter), 0.23 of 0.25(spring), 0.16 of 0.25(summer) or 0.51 of 0.25(fall).

So

P(A) = 0.42*0.25 + 0.23*0.25 + 0.16*0.25 + 0.51*0.25 = 0.33

Intersection:

Rain on a winter day, which is 0.42 of 0.25. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.42*0.25 = 0.105

If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?

P(B|A) = \frac{0.105}{0.33} = 0.3182

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

44/12 in simplest form
NeTakaya
The fraction 44/12 is equivalent1 to 3 2/3.
This fraction is a IMPROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (44) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (12). So, the equivalent fraction is a MIXED NUMBER which is made up of a whole number (3) and proper fraction (2/3).
The fraction 44/12 is equal to 44÷12 and can also be expressed in decimal form as 3.666667.

Find the equation of the line that goes through the point (2, -3) and has a slope of -1.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

soo since we already know the slope we can subsitute it to the slope form equation

y = mx + b

y = -x + b

now to find the y intercept we have to subsitute the given point

-3 = -(2) + b

-3 = -2 + b

b = -1
