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.

Luden [163]
First divide the rocks per 3/4 of an hour by 3 and multiply by 4 to get the production per hour. then subtract the already moved rocks from the total job and divide the answer by 16 (the rocks moved per hour) getting the time needed to move the rest

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):
gulaghasi [49]
First, lets solve f(x). g(x) is already given. Find the slope of f(x) by doing m = y2-y1/x2-x1. I'm going to use -1,-5 (1) and 0,-1 (2). -1-(-5) = 4 and 0-(-1) = 1. This means that the slope is 4 since 4/1 = 4.
Now find y intercept (b). Since we know that y=4x+b, we can solve this by plugging in an ordered pair. I will use -1,-5. -5 = 4(-1) +b. With this, we see that -5 = -4+b and b = -1 since -5 = -4-1.
Your equation for f(x) is y=4x-1. 
A: The slopes are equal since both of them are 4.
B: g(x) has a greater y intercept since 3 > -1.

C Betty rearranged the movies on her shelving unit after a few days. She placed equal numbers of movies on the bottom 3 shelves,
mixas84 [53]

There are total 53 movies on the shelving unit

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>DATA</u>

Equal movies on the bottom 3 shelves: 3x

10 movies on each of the top 2 shelves = 2*10 = 20

<u>Equation:</u>

3x + 20

<u>Question:</u>

Number of movies on the shelving unit if 11 movies are on each bottom 3 shelves: x = 11

<u>Solution:</u>

3x + 20

3(11) + 20 = 33 + 20 = 53

Therefore, there are total 53 movies on the shelving unit; 20 on the top 2 shelves and 33 on the bottom 3 shelves altogether.

Shaun collects coins. He has 18 quarters and 24 pennies in a jar. What is the ratio of quarters to pennies in a jar?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

18:24 or simplest form is 3:4

Step-by-step explanation: If you don't need to simplify then it is 18:24, but if you simplify it by dividing 18 and 24 by 6, then the answer is 3:4 :)
