The probability density function of the time you arrive at a terminal (in minutes after 8:00 A.M.) is f(x) = 0.1 exp(−0.1x) for

0 < x. Determine the probability that a. You arrive by 9:00 A.M. b. You arrive between 8:15 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. c. You arrive before 8:40 A.M. on two or more days of five days. Assume that your arrival times on different days are independent. d. Determine the cumulative distribution function and use the cumulative distribution function to determine the probability that you arrive between 8:15 A.M. and 8:30 A.M

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}0.1e^{-0.1x}&\text{for }x>0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

a. 9:00 AM is the 60 minute mark:

f_X(60)=0.1e^{-0.1\cdot60}\approx0.000248

b. 8:15 and 8:30 AM are the 15 and 30 minute marks, respectively. The probability of arriving at some point between them is

\displaystyle\int_{15}^{30}f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx0.173

c. The probability of arriving on any given day before 8:40 AM (the 40 minute mark) is

\displaystyle\int_0^{40}f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx0.982

The probability of doing so for at least 2 of 5 days is

\displaystyle\sum_{n=2}^5\binom5n(0.982)^n(1-0.982)^{5-n}\approx1

i.e. you're virtually guaranteed to arrive within the first 40 minutes at least twice.

d. Integrate the PDF to obtain the CDF:

F_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^xf_X(t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }x

Then the desired probability is

F_X(30)-F_X(15)\approx0.950-0.777=0.173

2) Line segment MK has endpoints at (2, 3) and (5, ?4). Segment M'K' is the reflection of MK over the y-axis. Which statement de
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Option C -M'K' is the same length as MK

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Line segment MK has endpoints at (2, 3) and (5,4)

               M'K' is the reflection of MK over the y-axis

By definition of reflection: reflection of point (x,y) across the the y-axis is the point (-x,y)

which implies M'K' has end points (-2,3) and (-5,4)

Now, we find the length of MK

let (x_1,y_1)=(2,3)\\\\(x_2,y_2)=(5,4)

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

⇒ d=\sqrt{(2-5)^2+(4-3)^2}

⇒d=\sqrt{9+1}

⇒d=\sqrt{10}   ....(1)

Now, we find the length of M'K'

let (x_1^{'},y_1^{'})=(-2,3)\\\\(x_2^{'},y_2^{'})=(-5,4)

d^{'}=\sqrt{(x_2^{'}-x_1^{'})^2+(y_2^{'}-y_1^{'})^2}

⇒ d^{'}=\sqrt{(-2+5)^2+(3-4)^2}

⇒d^{'}=\sqrt{9+1}

⇒d^{'}=\sqrt{10} .....(2)

from (1) and (2) we simply show that the length of MK and M'K' is equal

we can also refer the figure attached for reflection of MK and M'K'

therefore, Option C is correct
