Answer:

(a) The value of E (X) is 4/7.

    The value of V (X) is 3/98.

(b) The value of P (X ≤ 0.5) is 0.3438.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the proportion of surface area in a randomly selected quadrant that is covered by a certain plant.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a standard beta distribution with parameters <em>α</em> = 4 and <em>β</em> = 3.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is as follows:

f(x) = \frac{x^{\alpha-1}(1-x)^{\beta-1}}{B(\alpha,\beta)} ; \hspace{.3in}0 \le x \le 1;\  \alpha, \beta > 0

Here, B (α, β) is:

B(\alpha,\beta)=\frac{(\alpha-1)!\cdot\ (\beta-1)!}{((\alpha+\beta)-1)!}

            =\frac{(4-1)!\cdot\ (3-1)!}{((4+3)-1)!}\\\\=\frac{6\times 2}{720}\\\\=\frac{1}{60}

So, the pdf of <em>X</em> is:

f(x) = \frac{x^{4-1}(1-x)^{3-1}}{1/60}=60\cdot\ [x^{3}(1-x)^{2}];\ 0\leq x\leq 1

(a)

Compute the value of E (X) as follows:

E (X)=\frac{\alpha }{\alpha +\beta }

         =\frac{4}{4+3}\\\\=\frac{4}{7}

The value of E (X) is 4/7.

Compute the value of V (X) as follows:

V (X)=\frac{\alpha\ \cdot\ \beta}{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}\ \cdot\ (\alpha+\beta+1)}

         =\frac{4\cdot\ 3}{(4+3)^{2}\cdot\ (4+3+1)}\\\\=\frac{12}{49\times 8}\\\\=\frac{3}{98}

The value of V (X) is 3/98.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X ≤ 0.5) as follows:

P(X\leq 0.50) = \int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{60\cdot\ [x^{3}(1-x)^{2}]} \, dx

                    =60\int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{[x^{3}(1+x^{2}-2x)]} \, dx \\\\=60\int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{[x^{3}+x^{5}-2x^{4}]} \, dx \\\\=60\times [\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^6}{6}-\dfrac{2x^5}{5}]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=60\times [\dfrac{x^4\left(10x^2-24x+15\right)}{60}]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=[x^4\left(10x^2-24x+15\right)]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=0.34375\\\\\approx 0.3438

Thus, the value of P (X ≤ 0.5) is 0.3438.

Answer:

Either increase the number of acres that can be used for strawberry fields (by buying more land)..If we use the same numbers from earlier, then the farmer should use approximately 16.65 acres of land (or just 17 acres of land)

So if the farmer has 17 acres of land or more, then he will make more than $70,000 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the proportions from earlier

We have the point (5, 21000)

70,000/21,000 = 3.3

To find the x-value multiply 3.3 by 5

3.3 * 5 = 16.65

We can even use the other point's values to find the exact same answer

Point (3.5, 14700)

70,000/14,700= 4.7619047619

4.7619047619 * 3.5 = 16.66 (literally about the same)
