Answer:

a) \frac{B-\frac{A+5B}{6}}{B-A}= \frac{6B -A-5B}{6(B-A)}=\frac{B-A}{6(B-A)}=\frac{1}{6}

b) P(X>1) = 1-P(X\leq 1)=1-\int_{0}^1 \frac{1^{2} x^{2-1} e^{- x}}{\gamma(2)}=0.736

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

We assume that the parachutist lands at random point in the interval (x=A,y=B) we have a continuous random variable X. And the distribution of X would be uniform Y\sim Unif(A,B). And the density function would be given by:

f(x) =\frac{1}{B-A} , A

And 0 for other case.

The operation fails, if parachutist's distance to A is more than five times as much as her distance to B.

So the point P in the interval (A,B) at which the distance to A is exactly 5 times the distance to B is given by:

P= A + \frac{5}{6} (B-A)= \frac{6A +5B -5A}{6}=\frac{A+5B}{6}

And we can find the probability desired like this:

P(d(P,A) \geq 5 d(P,B))= P(\frac{A+5B}{6} < X< B)

And from the cumulative distribution function of X ficen by F(X)\frac{X-A}{B-A} we got:

\frac{B-\frac{A+5B}{6}}{B-A}= \frac{6B -A-5B}{6(B-A)}=\frac{B-A}{6(B-A)}=\frac{1}{6}

Part b

For this case we assume that X\sim Gamma (2,1)

On this case we assume that \alpha=2, \beta= 1

The density function for the Gamma distribution is given by:

P(X)= \frac{\beta^{\alpha} x^{\alpha-1} e^{-\beta x}}{\gamma(\alpha)}

And on this case we can find the probability using the complement rule like this:

P(X>1) = 1-P(X\leq 1)=0.736

We can solve this problem with the following excel code:

"=1-GAMMA.DIST(1;2;1;TRUE)"

And if we do it by hand we need to do this:

P(X>1) = 1-P(X\leq 1)=1-\int_{0}^1 \frac{1^{2} x^{2-1} e^{- x}}{\gamma(2)}=0.736

Find the area between y=(x-2)ex and the x-axis from x=2 to x=4.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

e^4+e^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be found by integral.

First let's find the intersection points.

(x-2)e^x = 0

Only intersection point is x = 2.

And it is asked to find the area in the interval (2, 4).

\int\limits^4_2 (x-2)e^x \,dx=?

We will use integration by parts.

x-2=u\\dx=du\\e^xdx=dv\\e^x=v

\int\limits^4_2 (x-2)e^x \,dx=uv-\int vdu=(x-2)e^x-\int e^xdx=(x-2)e^x-e^x=\\\\=(x-3)e^x|^4_2=(4-3)e^4-(2-3)e^2=e^4+e^2
