A gas station sells two grades of gasoline: regular and super. These are priced at $2.00 and $3.00 per gallon, respectively. Let

X₁ and X₂ denote the amounts of these grades purchased (gallons) on a particular day. Suppose X₁ and X₂ are independent Normal random variables with E(X₁) = 1000, sd(X₁) = 90, E(X₂) = 800, and sd(X₂) = 45. The revenue from sales is Y = 2X₁ + 3X₂. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation of Y, i.e., E(Y) and sd(Y). (b) Find the probability that the revenue Y does not exceed 4500. Hint: Y is Normally distributed. (c) Find the probability that the gas station sells regular gasoline more, i.e., pr (X₁ > X₂). Attach the R codes or write out the formula(s) you used for full credit.

Answer:

(a) E(Y) = 4400

sd (Y) =225

(b)  P(Y ≤ 4500) = 0.67003

(c) P (X₁ > X₂) = 0.31744

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Here we have

Y = 2·X₁ + 3·X₂

Therefore E(Y) = 2·E(X₁) + 3·E(X₂) = 2000 + 2400 = 4400

sd(Y) is given by

Variance Y = (sd (Y))² = 2²·(sd (X₁))² + 3²·(sd (X₂))²

= 4·8100 + 9·2025 =  50625

sd (Y) = √50625 = 225

(b) The probability that the revenue does not exceed 4500 is given by

P(Y ≤ 4500) =  P(z ≤0.444)

z = \frac{\overline{\rm x} - \mu} {\sigma /\sqrt{n} }

z = \frac{4500 - 4400} {225 /\sqrt{1} } = 0.444

Therefore from the normal distribution table, we have

P = 0.67003

(c) The probability that the P(X₁ > X₂)

Since the gas station sells 2 portions of X₁ to 3 portions of X₂

Therefore, the probability that the gas station sells more of X₁ is given by

₅C₀ × 2/5⁰×3/5⁵ = 0.07776

₅C₁ × 2/5¹×3/5⁴=  0.2592

₅C₂ × 2/5²×3/5³ = 0.3456

P (X₁ > X₂) = 1 - 0.68256 = 0.31744

A homeowner is installing a swimming pool. You have been asked to install a circuit to operate a 600-watt underwater light and a
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The loads in the circuit are continuous duty, so the circuit can only loaded to 80% of its current rating.

Calculate 80% current rating of the circuit breaker.

Icb = [ 80/100] (20 A)

     =  (O.8) (20 A )

     = 16 A

Now we assume that the value of supply voltage is 120 V

Now we will calculate current flows via under water light which will be taken as  Load 1

<em>Ii = </em>500 W/120 V

  = 4.167 A

Current via the circulating pump which will be taken as Load 2 IS 8.5 A

<em>I = </em>load1 + load 2

<em>    = 4.167 A + 8.5 A</em>

<em>   = 12.67 A</em>

The total current in the circuit obtained which is less than the circuit breaker rating current. Therefore, the power can be operated for both the loads.

The sum of two numbers is 85. If four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 5. Find the t
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

the larger number is 69

the smaller number is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the smaller number

y is the larger number

x + y = 85

y - 4x = 5

y = 5 + 4x

x + 5 + 4x = 85

5x = 80

x = 16

y = 69

Point C is the center of the circle. The measure of angle ACB is 3x + 120. Arc AB measures 65x – 4. Find the measure of arc AB.
katovenus [111]
In a circle The measurement of a CENTRAL ANGLE (vertex C) is equal to the measurement of the arc intercepted:

65x-4 = 3x+120 ===> 62x=124 & x= 2, hence the arc = 2
