Answer:

a) 0.3889

b) 0.5

c) 0.8333

d) The mean is 250 and the standard deviation is 51.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability of finding a value of X higher than x is:

P(X > x) = 1 - \frac{x - a}{b-a}

The probability of finding a value of X between c and d is:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

The mean and the standard deviation are, respectively:

M = \frac{a+b}{2}

S = \sqrt{\frac{b-a}^{2}{12}}

A random variable follows the continuous uniform distribution between 160 and 340.

This means that a = 160, b = 340

a)

P(220 \leq X \leq 290) = \frac{290 - 220}{340 - 160} = 0.3889

b)

P(160 \leq X \leq 250) = \frac{250 - 160}{340 - 160} = 0.5

c)

P(X > 190) = 1 - \frac{190 - 160}{340 - 160} = 0.8333

d)

M = \frac{160 + 340}{2} = 250

S = \sqrt{\frac{340 - 160}^{2}{12}} = 51.96

The mean is 250 and the standard deviation is 51.96.

Help me please by solving and showing the steps:)
Lorico [155]

Answer:

-\frac{3\sqrt[3]{t} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Write g(t) as y, resulting in y=-\frac{8}{27}t^3

2: Interchange the variables y and t, resulting in t=-\frac{8}{27}y^3

3: Multiply both sides by 27, resulting in 27t=-8y^3

4: Divide both sides by -8, resulting in -\frac{27t}{8}=y^3

5: Find the cube root of both sides, resulting in \sqrt[3]{-\frac{27t}{8} }=y

6: Apply a radical rule, resulting in -\sqrt[3]{\frac{27t}{8} } =y

7: Apply another radical rule, resulting in -\frac{\sqrt[3]{27t} }{\sqrt[3]{8} } =y

8: Simplify the denominator, resulting in  -\frac{\sqrt[3]{27t} }{2} =y

9: Apply yet another radical rule, resulting in -\frac{\sqrt[3]{27}\sqrt[3]{t}   }{2} =y

10: Simplify \sqrt[3]{27}, resulting in -\frac{3\sqrt[3]{t}   }{2} =y

The value of a boat is depreciating at a rate of 7% per year. In 2004 the boat was worth $180,000. Whats the value in 2009?​
ankoles [38]

Answer:

$117,000

Step-by-step explanation:

-0% 2004

-7% 2005

-14% 2006

-21% 2007

-28% 2008

-35% 2009

180,000 x 0.35 (35%) = 63,000

180,000 - 63,000 = 117,000

$117,000
