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

2=ln(x+7) solve for x
maria [59]

Answer:

e^2 -7 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

2=ln(x+7)

Raise each side to the base of e

e^2 = e^ln (x+7)

The e^ln cancel

e^2 = x+7

Subtract 7 from each side

e^2 -7 = x +7-7

e^2 -7 = x

Samuel has to sell concert tickets worth at least $90. The price of a child ticket is $8, and the price of an adult ticket is $1
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The second graph is correct, that the line intersects x at 6 and y at 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel has to sell at least $90 for his concert. According to the graph, if Samuel sells only child ticket, he will have to sell 11.5 tickets.

If Samuel sells only adult tickets, he will have to sell at least 6.

The correct graph is the second one, that the line intersects x at 6 and y at 11.5
