The answer is 6.08 and here is why:

The way to find this is $12.5- 6\frac{6}{14}$

$6/14=0.42$ so this leaves us with

$12.5-6.42=6.08$

So Lisa has 6.08 pounds of candy

I need help finding 'x'

WITCHER [35]

(8x-10)°+(6x)°+(10x+10)°=360°
8x-10+6x+10x+10=360
8x+6x+10x-10+10=360
24x-10+10=360
24x=360
24x/24=360/24
x=15
Scalene because all three sides are different.

Let Y be a random variable with a density function given by

Neporo4naja [7]

From the given density function we find the distribution function,

$F_Y(y)=P(Y\le y)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^y f_Y(t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }y$

(a)

$F_{U_1}(u_1)=P(U_1\le u_1)=P(3Y\le u_1)=P\left(Y\le\dfrac{u_1}3\right)=F_Y\left(\dfrac{u_1}3\right)$

$\implies F_{U_1}(u_1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }u_1$

$\implies f_{U_1}(u_1)=\begin{cases}\frac{{u_1}^2}{18}&\text{for }-3\le u_1\le3\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

(b)

$F_{U_2}(u_2)=P(3-Y\le u_2)=P(Y\ge3-u_2)=1-P(Y$

$\implies F_{U_2}(u_2)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }u_2$

$\implies f_{U_2}(u_2)=\begin{cases}\frac32(u_2-3)^2&\text{for }2\le u_2\le4\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

(c)

$F_{U_3}(u_3)=P(Y^2\le u_3)=P(-\sqrt{u_3}\le Y\le\sqrt{u_3})=F_Y(\sqrt{u_3})-F_y(\sqrt{u_3})$

$\implies F_{U_3}(u_3)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }u_3$

$\implies f_{U_3}(u_3}=\begin{cases}\frac32\sqrt u&\text{for }0\le u\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$
