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

54 students fit on a bus. There are 125
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 3 buses

Step-by-step explanation: If 54 students fit on a bus, and 125 students are in 8th grade,

You should divide.

125 divided by 54 is 2.31...

we can't have 2.31... buses, so we say 3 buses.

What are the two missing sides of the triangle ??
igor_vitrenko [27]
Remark
It's a right triangle so the Pythagorean Theorem applies. All you have to do is put the right things in the right places of the formula.

Givens
a = x
b = x + 4
c = 20

Formula and Substitution.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (x + 4)^2 = 20^2

Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20  Subtract 20 from both sides.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 - 20 = 0  
2x^2 + 8x - 4 = 0         Divide through by 2
x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0

Use the quadratic formula
a = 1
b = 4
c = - 2

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} &#10; 
\text{x = }\dfrac{ -4 \pm \sqrt{4^{2} + 4(1)(2) } }{2} &#10;

From which x = (-4 +/- sqrt(24) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- sqrt(4*6) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- 2 sqrt(6) ) / 2
x1 = -2 + sqrt(6)
x2 = -2 - sqrt(6)  This is an extraneous root. No line can be minus.

x1 = + 0.4495
x2 = x + 4 = 4.4495
