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 90 minutes, John can run 30 laps around the track. Determine the number of laps he can run per hour.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

in 90 minutes he ran 30 laps

there is 60 minutes in a hour so the fraction would be

2/3 so we have to multiply this by 30

2/3*30=20

He can run 20 laps in a hour

Hope This Helps!!!

Haley bought 8 pencils and 3 folders for $10.39. Nicole bought 5 pencils and 4 folders for $10.51. How much does a folder cost?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$1.89

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 8p+3f=$10.39

2) 5p+4f=$10.51

where p represents pencil & f represents folder.

multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 8.

40p+15f=$51.95

40p+32f=$84.08

Subtract

17f=$32.13

f=$32.13/17 =$1.89
