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

A varies directly with B. If A=44 when B=110, find A when B=140
Kay [80]

\frac{44}{a}  =  \frac{110}{140}

a =  \frac{44 \times 140}{110}  = 56

Consider the following system of equations 2x+3y=45 x+y=10 what is the x value of the solution for this system
scZoUnD [109]
2x + 3y = 45
x + y = 10......y = 10 - x

2x + 3(10 - x) = 45
2x + 30 - 3x = 45
-x + 30 = 45
-x = 45 - 30
-x = 15
x = -15 <====

and y = 25

You would add 10.3 and 5.9 which would equal 16.2, and subtract that from 20 and change that decimal into a fraction, which would be 19/50
