Answer:

a) E(x)=3.565

b) c=3.8475 --> P(X < 3.8475) = 0.75

c) The probability that X falls above or below 0.28 min from the mean is P=0.4954.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the cumulative distribution function as information.

a) To calculate the expected value, we can calculate the value of x in which F(x) equals 0.5. This happens for x=3.565.

F(x)=\frac{x-3}{1.13} =0.5\\\\x-3=0.5*1.13=0.565\\\\x=0.565+3=3.565

b) What is the value c such that P(X < c) = 0.75?

In this case, we have to calculate x to have F(x)=0.75

F(x)=\frac{x-3}{1.13} =0.75\\\\x-3=0.75*1.13=0.8475\\\\x=0.8475+3=3.8475

This happens for x=3.8475.

c) We have to calculate the probability that X falls above or below 0.28 min from the mean (x=3.565).

This is the probability that the time is between 3.285 and 3.845

x_1=3.565-0.28=3.285\\\\x_2=3.565+0.28=3.845

We can calculate this as:

P(3.285

The probability that X falls above or below 0.28 min from the mean is P=0.4954.

DanielleElmas [232]
1/3 + 2/5 • 2/3

2 • 2 = 4
5 • 3 = 15

1/3 = 5/15

5/15 + 4/15 = 9/15 = 3/5

1/3 + 2/5 • 2/3 = 3/5
