Answer:

The rocket has a faster unit rate and is $219\ km/h$ much faster than the penny

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit rate of each object and the compare the results

step 1

Find the unit rate per hour of the rocket

To find the unit rate divide the total distance by the time

Let

d -----> the distance in km

t -----> the time in hours

we have

$d=208\ km$

$t=50/60=5/6\ h$

Find the unit rate

$208/(5/6)=208*6/5=249.6\ km/h$

step 2

Find the unit rate per hour of the penny

To find the unit rate divide the total distance by the time

Let

d -----> the distance in km

t -----> the time in hours

we have

$d=153\ km$

$t=5\ h$

Find the unit rate

$153/5=30.6\ km/h$

step 3

Compare the unit rates

The units rate of rocket is $249.6\ km/h$

The unit rate of penny is $30.6\ km/h$

Find the difference

$249.6-30.6=219\ km/h$

therefore

The rocket has a faster unit rate and is $219\ km/h$ much faster than the penny

Define a new random variable by y = 2px. show that, as p l 0, the mgf of y converges to that of a chi squared random variable wi

Mandarinka [93]

The moment generating function (mgf) of y is given by

$M_y(t)=E(e^{ty})=E(e^{2pxt})=M_x(2pt)=p(1-e^{2pt}(1-p))^{-1}$

Since the momoent generating function of x is given by $M_x(t)=p(1-e^{t}(1-p))^{-1}$

When p tends to 0, we have

$\lim_{p \to 0} M_y(t)= \lim_{p \to 0} \frac{p}{1-e^{2pt}(1-p)} = \frac{0}{0}$

Applying L'Hopital's rule we have:

$\lim_{p \to 0} M_y(t)=\lim_{p \to 0} \frac{1}{e^{2pt}+2te^{2pt}+2pte^{2pt}} = \frac{1}{1+2t} , \ \ \ t\ \textless \ \frac{1}{2}$

This shows that y converges to <span>a chi squared random variable with 2r degrees of freedom</span>.
