The another way to represent the same line, for solving $y$ will be: $y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x$

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Given equation of the line is: $2x+3y=15$

"Solving $y$ " means <u>we need to get</u> $y$ <u>alone in left side.</u> So, we will eliminate all other terms except $y$ from the left side.

First we will <u>subtract 2x </u>from both sides. So, we will get......

$2x+3y-2x=15-2x\\ \\ 3y=15-2x$

Now, we will <u>divide both sides by 3</u> for getting $y$ alone. So.....

$\frac{3y}{3}= \frac{15-2x}{3}\\ \\ y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x$

Thus, the another way to represent the same line, for solving $y$ will be: $y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x$

Answer:

$k = 1$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f \left(x,y \right) = \left{ \begin{array} { l l } { k , } & { 0 \leq x} \leq 2,0 \leq y \leq 1,2 y \leq x } & { \text 0, { elsewhere. } } \end{array} \right.$

Solving (a):

Find k

To solve for k, we use the definition of joint probability function:

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, = 1$

Where

${ 0 \leq x} \leq 2,0 \leq y \leq 1,2 y \leq x }$

Substitute values for the interval of x and y respectively

So, we have:

$\int\limits^2_{0} \int\limits^{x/2}_{0} {k\ dy\ dx} \, = 1$

Isolate k

$k \int\limits^2_{0} \int\limits^{x/2}_{0} {dy\ dx} \, = 1$

Integrate y, leave x:

$k \int\limits^2_{0} y {dx} \, [0,x/2]= 1$

Substitute 0 and x/2 for y

$k \int\limits^2_{0} (x/2 - 0) {dx} \,= 1$

$k \int\limits^2_{0} \frac{x}{2} {dx} \,= 1$

Integrate x

$k * \frac{x^2}{2*2} [0,2]= 1$

$k * \frac{x^2}{4} [0,2]= 1$

Substitute 0 and 2 for x

$k *[ \frac{2^2}{4} - \frac{0^2}{4} ]= 1$

$k *[ \frac{4}{4} - \frac{0}{4} ]= 1$

$k *[ 1-0 ]= 1$

$k *[ 1]= 1$

$k = 1$

Solving (b): $P(x > 3y)$

We have:

$f(x,y) = k$

Where $k = 1$

$f(x,y) = 1$

To find $P(x > 3y)$ , we use:

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)}$

So, we have:

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 \int\limits^{y/3}_0 {f(x,y)} dxdy$

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 \int\limits^{y/3}_0 {1} dxdy$

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 \int\limits^{y/3}_0 dxdy$

Integrate x leave y

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 x [0,y/3]dy$

Substitute 0 and y/3 for x

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 [y/3 - 0]dy$

$P(x > 3y) = \int\limits^2_0 y/3\ dy$

Integrate

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{y^2}{2*3} [0,2]$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{y^2}{6} [0,2]\\$

Substitute 0 and 2 for y

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{2^2}{6} -\frac{0^2}{6}$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{4}{6} -\frac{0}{6}$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{4}{6}$

$P(x > 3y) = \frac{2}{3}$
