In October of 2012, Apple introduced a much smaller variant of the Apple iPad, known at the iPad Mini. Weighing less than 11 oun

ces, it was about 50% lighter than the standard iPad. Battery tests for the iPad Mini showed a mean life of 10.25 hours (The Wall Street Journal, October 31, 2012). Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours.
a. Give a mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life.
b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?
c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?
d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?
e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

Answer:

a. f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c.  the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e.  86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let  X represent the continuous random variable with uniform distribution U (A, B) . Therefore the probability  density function can now be determined as :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{B-A}A

where A and B  are the two parameters of the uniform distribution

From the question;

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours

So; Let A = 8,5 and B = 12

Therefore; the mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life is :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{12-8.5}8.5

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

The  probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less can be calculated as:

F(x) = P(X ≤x)

F(x) = \dfrac{x-A}{B-A}

F(10) = \dfrac{10-8.5}{12-8.5}

F(10) = 0.4286

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

The battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is calculated as follows:

P(X\geq11) = \int\limits^{12}_{11} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (x)^{12}_{11}

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (12-11)

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (1)

P(X\geq11) = 0.2857

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =\int\limits^{11.5}_{9.5} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, (x)^{11.5}_{9.5}

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (11.5-9.5)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.2857* (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.5714

Hence; the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

The probability that battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

P(X \geq 9) = \int\limits^{12}_{9} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(x)^{12}_{9}

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(12-9)

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.2857*}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.8571

NOW; The Number of iPad  that should have a battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

n = 100(0.8571)

n = 85.71

n ≅ 86

Thus , 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Find the next number in the given series?2,3,8,27,112,?
Ahat [919]
The next number in the given series is going to be 565.

2, 3, 8, 27, 112, ?

2 * 1 + 1 = 3

3 * 2 + 2 = 8

8 * 3 + 3 = 27

27 * 4 + 4 = 112

112 * 5 + 5 = 565.

Good luck :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Mean and Range

To do this, we simply calculate the mean and the range of each row.

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n} ---- mean

Where:

n = 4 ---- number of rows

R = Highest - Lowest --- range

So, we have:

Sample 1

\bar x_1 = \frac{1027+ 994 +977 +994 }{4}

\bar x_1 = 998

R_1 = 1027- 994

R_1 = 33

Sample 2

\bar x_2 = \frac{975 +1013 +999 +1017}{4}

\bar x_2 = 1001

R_2 =  1017 - 975

R_2 = 42

Sample 3

\bar x_3 = \frac{988 +1016 +974 +997}{4}

\bar x_3 = 993.75

R_3 = 1016-974

R_3 = 42

Sample 4

\bar x_4 = \frac{998 +1024 +1006 +1010}{4}

\bar x_4 = 1009.5

R_4 = 1024 -998

R_4 = 26

Sample 5

\bar x_5 = \frac{990 +1012 +990 +1000}{4}

\bar x_5 = 998

R_5 = 1012 -990

R_5 = 22

Sample 6

\bar x_6= \frac{1016 + 998 +1001 +1030}{4}

\bar x_6= 1011.25

R_6= 1030-998

R_6= 32

Sample 7

\bar x_7 = \frac{1000 +983 +979 +971}{4}

\bar x_7 = 983.25

R_7 = 1000-971

R_7 = 29

Sample 8

\bar x_8 = \frac{973 +982 +975 +1030}{4}

\bar x_8 = 990

R_8 = 1030-973

R_8 = 57

Sample 9

\bar x_9 = \frac{992 +1028 +991 +998}{4}

\bar x_9 = 1002.25

R_9 = 1028 -991

R_9 = 37

Sample 10

\bar x_{10} = \frac{997 +1026 +972 +1021}{4}

\bar x_{10} = 1004

R_{10} = 1026 -972

R_{10} = 54

Sample 11

\bar x_{11} = \frac{990 +1021 +1028 +992}{4}

\bar x_{11} = 1007.75

R_{11} = 1028 -990

R_{11} = 38

Sample 12

\bar x_{12} = \frac{1021 +998 +996 +970}{4}

\bar x_{12} = 996.25

R_{12} = 1021 -970

R_{12} = 51

Sample 13

\bar x_{13} = \frac{1027 +993 +996 +996}{4}

\bar x_{13} = 1003

R_{13} =1027 -993

R_{13} =34

Sample 14

\bar x_{14} = \frac{1022 +981 +1014 +983}{4}

\bar x_{14} = 1000

R_{14} = 1022 -981

R_{14} = 41

Sample 15

\bar x_{15} = \frac{977 +993 +986 +983}{4}

\bar x_{15} = 984.75

R_{15} = 993-977

R_{15} = 16
