Answer:

a) P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) = 0.02619

b) E(X) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The CDF of a random variable X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , .... } is given as:

                    F(X) = P ( X =< x) = 1 - \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)}

Find:

a.Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5

b) Find the expected value of X, E(X), using the fact that. (Hint: You will have to evaluate an infinite sum, but that will be easy to do if you notice that

Solution:

- The CDF gives the probability of (X < x) for any value of x. So to compute the P (  3 ≤X≤ 5 ) we will set the limits.

                   F(X) = P ( 3=

- The Expected Value can be determined by sum to infinity of CDF:

                   E(X) = Σ ( 1 - F(X) )

                   E(X) = \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)} = \frac{1}{(x+1)} - \frac{1}{(x+2)} \\\\= \frac{1}{(1)} - \frac{1}{(2)}\\\\= \frac{1}{(2)} - \frac{1}{(3)} \\\\=  \frac{1}{(3)} - \frac{1}{(4)}\\\\= ............................................\\\\=  \frac{1}{(n)} - \frac{1}{(n+1)}\\\\=  \frac{1}{(n+1)} - \frac{1}{(n+ 2)}

                   E(X) = Limit n->∞ [1 - 1 / ( n + 2 ) ]  

                   E(X) = 1

What is the value of k that makes each equation true. For example, 5(ky-6)=15y-30
motikmotik

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(ky-6)=15y-30

Factor out a 5 from the right side

5(ky-6)=5(3y-6)

Divide each side by 5

ky -6 = 3y -6

Add 6 to each side

ky = 3y

divide by y

k = 3

24 is 16% of what number
Eva8 [605]
Is/of = %/100 plug the numbers in 24/x = 16/100 then cross multiply then you get 2400 = 16x so you get x by itself so you would have to divide by 16. 2400/16 = 16x/16 the 16 on the x side cancel out so you get x = 150 (I used proportions)
