The commuter trains on the Red Line for the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) in Cleveland, OH, have a waiting time during peak r

ush hour periods of eight minutes ("2012 annual report," 2012).
a.) Find the height of this uniform distribution.

b.) Find the probability of waiting between four and five minutes.

c.) Find the probability of waiting between three and eight minutes.

d.) Find the probability of waiting five minutes exactly.

Answer:

a) height of this uniform distribution = 1/8 = 0.125.

b) P( 4 < x < 5) = (5 - 4)*0.125 = 0.125

c) P( 3 < x < 8) = (8 - 3)*0.125 = 0.625

d) P(x = 0) = 0*0.125 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of this uniform distribution is same as finding the probability for each waiting minutes.

Height of uniform distribution = 1/n. Where n is the number of occurence, in this n = 8.

a) height of this uniform distribution = 1/8 = 0.125.

Let random variable x = waiting time.

b) probability of waiting between four and five minutes

P( 4 < x < 5) = (5 - 4)*0.125 = 0.125

c) probability of waiting between three and eight minutes

P( 3 < x < 8) = (8 - 3)*0.125 = 0.625

d) probability of waiting five minutes exactly.

Since this would be just one line, and the width of the line is 0, then the

P(x = 0) = 0*0.125 = 0

Find the indefinite integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.) <br> e2x 25 e4x dx.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The solution is $\frac{1}{10} * tan^{-1}[\frac{e^{2x}}{5} ] + C$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

The function given is $f(x) = \frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}} dx$

The indefinite integral is mathematically represented as

$\int\limits {\frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}}} \, dx$

Now let $e^{2x} = u$

=> $\frac{du}{dx} 2e^{2x}$

=> $2 e^{2x}dx = du$

So

$\int\limits {\frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{1}{ 2(25 + u^2)} } \, du$

$= \frac{1}{2} \int\limits {\frac{1}{ 25 + u^2)} } \, du$

$= \frac{1}{2} \int\limits {\frac{1}{ 5^2 + u^2)} } \, du$

$= \frac{1}{2} \frac{tan^{-1} [\frac{u}{5} ]}{5} + C$

Now substituting for u

$\frac{1}{10} * tan^{-1}[\frac{e^{2x}}{5} ] + C$

Anyone please answer !!!!! Happy holidays!

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

(4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x-3y=24\\-3y=24-6x\\y=-8+2x\\0=-8+2x\\8=2x\\$

x=4 when y=0, and in x-intercepts, we are trying to find the value of x when y=0, which is why (4, 0) is the point of interception.

An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 46.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t

erastova [34]

Answer:

$z=\frac{46.5-46.7}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{150}}}=-2.23$

The p value would be given by:

$p_v =2*P(z$

For this case since th p value is lower than the significance level of0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly different from 46.7 MPG

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X=46.5$ represent the mean

$\sigma=1.1$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=150$ sample size

$\mu_o =46.7$ represent the value to verify

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean for this case is 46.7, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 46.7$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 46.7$

Since we know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing we got:

$z=\frac{46.5-46.7}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{150}}}=-2.23$

The p value would be given by:

$p_v =2*P(z$

For this case since th p value is lower than the significance level of0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly different from 46.7 MPG
