Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with mean 1/0.41/0

.4. What is (a) the probability that a repair time exceeds 33 hours? (b) the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 1010 hours, given that it takes more than 99 hours?

Answer:

a) P(t>3)=0.30

b) P(t>10|t>9)=0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a repair time modeled as an exponentially random variable, with mean 1/0.4=2.5 hours.

The parameter λ of the exponential distribution is the inverse of the mean, so its λ=0.4 h^-1.

The probabity that a repair time exceeds k hours can be written as:

P(t>k)=e^{-\lambda t }=e^{-0.4t}

(a) the probability that a repair time exceeds 3 hours?

P(t>3)=e^{-0.4*3}=e^{-1.2}= 0.30

(b) the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours?

The exponential distribution has a memoryless property, in which the probabilities of future events are not dependant of past events.

In this case, the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours is equal to the probability that a repair takes at least (10-9)=1 hour.

P(t>10|t>9)=P(t>1)

P(k>1)=e^{-0.4*1}=0.67

A company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $24,000. It costs $100 to prod canoes produced and sold.) a. Write
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a. C(x) = 24,000 + 100x

b. R(x) = 200x

c. Break-even point is 240 canoes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Cost function is C(x) = FC + pcost * x

C(x) = 24,000 + 100x

Where  

FC=Fixed cost  = 24,000

pcost=costs  to prod canoes = $100

x=produce quantity

b.Revenue function

R(x) = Px * x

R(x) = 200x

Where  

Px=Price

x=produce quantity

c. Break-even point is the amount of canoes where revenue are the same as cost.  We cover the total cost with the sales.

So,  FC + pcost * x=Px * x

24,000 + 100x=200x

Isolating x

24,000 =200x- 100x

100x=24000

x=24,000/100

x=240

There are three squares inside the triangle . Find the area of the third triangle with steps , please
pogonyaev

Answer: 49 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the small pink square box will be:

L^2 = 9

L = sqrt( 9 )

L = 3

The length of the big pink square box will be:

L^2 = 16

L = sqrt( 16 )

L = 4

The length of the yellow square box will be:

4 + 3 = 7

The area of the third square box will be

A = 7^2

A = 49 cm^2
