2. A book with a green sticker costs $2 less than half the price of a

1 answer:

For this case we can propose an equation that will allow us to find the price of one of the books knowing the price of the other.

x: Let the variable that represents the price of the book with a green sticker

y: Let the variable that represents the price of the book with a yellow sticker

According to the statement we have:

$x = \frac {y} {2} -2\\$

$y=2(x+2)$

Finally, we can substitute the price of one of the books and clear the value of the other as the case may be.

Answer:

$x = \frac {y} {2} -2$

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The model $N (t)$ , the number of planets found up to time $t$ , as a Poisson process. So, the $N (t)$ has distribution of Poison distribution with parameter $(\lambda t)$

The mean for a month is, $\lambda = \frac{1}{3}$ per month

$E[N(t)]= \lambda t\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(24)\\\\=8$

(Here. t = 24)

For Poisson process mean and variance are same,

$Var[N (t)]= Var[N(24)]\\= E [N (24)]\\=8$

(Poisson distribution mean and variance equal)

The standard deviation of the number of planets is,

$\sigma( 24 )] =\sqrt{Var[ N(24)]}=\sqrt{8}= 2.828$

For the Poisson process the intervals between events(finding a new planet) have independent exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$ . The sum of $K$ of these independent exponential has distribution Gamma $(K, \lambda)$ .

From the given information, $k = 6$ and $\lambda =\frac{1}{3}$

Calculate the expected value.

$E(x)=\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\\\\=\frac{K}{\lambda}\\\\=\frac{6}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\=18$

(Here, $\alpha =k$ and $\beta=\lambda$ )

Calculate the probability that she will become eligible for the prize within one year.

Here, 1 year is equal to 12 months.

P(X ≤ 12) = (1/Г (k)λ^k)(x)^(k-1).(e)^(-x/λ)

$=\frac{1}{Г (6)(\frac{1}{3})^6}(12)^{6-1}e^{-36}\\\\=0.2148696\\=0.2419\\=21.49%$

Hence, the required probability is 0.2149 or 21.49%

CAN SOMEONE JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION

kramer

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 numbers of less than 4 (1, 2 and 3) and there are 2 multiples of 9 (9 and 18). So there are 5 favourable outcomes and 25 possible outcomes. So you put 5/25 and cancel down, which makes 1/5. I hope this helps!
