Let X equal the number of hours that a randomly selected person from City A reads the news online each day. Suppose that X has a

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

$P(Y>X) = \frac{17}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that since X is uniformly distributed over the set [1,4] we have that the pdf of X is given by $f(x) = \frac{1}{3}$ if $1\leq x \leq 4$ and 0 otherwise. In the same manner, the pdf of Y is given by $g(y) = \frac{1}{4}$ if $1\leq y\leq 5$ and 0 otherwise.

Note that if Y is in the interval (4,5] then Y>X by default. So, in this case we have that P(Y>X| y in (4,5]) = 1. We want to calculate the probability of having Y in that interval . That is

$P(Y>4) = \int_{4}^{5}\frac{1}{4}dy = \frac{1}{4}$ . Thus, $P(Y\leq 4 ) = 1 - P(Y>4)= \frac{3}{4}$ .

We want to proceed as follows. Using the total probability theorem, given two events A, B we have that

$P(A) = P(A|B)\cdot P(B) + P(A|B^c) \cdot P(B^c)$ In this case, A is the event that Y>X and B is the event that Y is in the interval (4,5].

If we assume that X and Y are independent, then we have that the joint pdf of X,Y is given by $h(x,y) = f(x)g(y) = \frac{1}{12}$ when $1\leq x \leq 4, 1\leq y \leq 4$ . We can draw the region were Y>X and the function h(x,y) is different from 0. (The drawing is attached). This region is described as follows: $1\leq x \leq 4$ and $x\leq y \leq 4$ , then (the specifics of the calculations of the integrals are ommitted)

$P(Y>X| y \in [1,4)) = \int_{1}^{4}\int_{x}^{4}\frac{1}{12}dy dx = \frac{1}{12}\int_{1}^{4} (4-x) dx = \frac{1}{12}\left.(4x-\frac{x}{2})\right|_{1}^{4}= \frac{1}{12}(4\cdot 4 - \frac{4^2}{2}-(4-\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{9}{2\cdot 12} = \frac{3}{8}$

Thus,

$P(Y>X) = 1\cdot \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{8}\cdot \frac{3}{4} = \frac{17}{32}$

Can someone help me please ?

andrezito [222]

Step-by-step explanation:

For A

The name of two similar triangles is ABC and CED.

For b

If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal. When the three angle pairs are all equal, the three pairs of sides must also be in proportion.

Here

< BAC = < CED ( given)

<ACB = < ECD ( vertically opposite angles)
