Let x be the amount of time (in minutes) that a particular San Francisco commuter must wait for a BART train. Suppose that the d

ensity curve is as pictured below (a uniform distribution): A horizontal line segment is graphed on the coordinate plane. The horizontal x axis is labeled "Minutes" and has two tick marks at 0 and 20. The vertical axis is labeled "Density" and has one tick mark at 0.05. The line enters the viewing window at (0, 0.05) and stops at (20, 0.05). (a) What is the probability that x is less than 8 min? more than 14 min? P (x is less than 8 minutes) = P (x is more than 14 minutes) = (b) What is the probability that x is between 7 and 11 min? P (x is between 7 and 11 minutes) = (c) Find the value c for which P(x < c) = .9. c = mins

Answer:

a) P(X

P(X>14) = 1-P(X

b) P(7< X

c) We want to find a value c who satisfy this condition:

P(x

And using the cumulative distribution function we have this:

P(x

And solving for c we got:

c = 20*0.9 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as he amount of time (in minutes) that a particular San Francisco commuter must wait for a BART train, and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a=0, b =20)

Part a

We want this probability:

P(X

And for this case we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a} = \frac{x-0}{20-0}= \frac{x}{20}

And using the cumulative distribution function we got:

P(X

For the probability P(X>14) if we use the cumulative distribution function and the complement rule we got:

P(X>14) = 1-P(X

Part b

We want this probability:

P(7< X

And using the cdf we got:

P(7< X

Part c

We want to find a value c who satisfy this condition:

P(x

And using the cumulative distribution function we have this:

P(x

And solving for c we got:

c = 20*0.9 = 18

Tcecarenko [31]
Hello!

Advantages of a capitalist economic system:

• Economic growing and expansion.

• Consumer choice (The consumers get to choose what to consume, which leads to better products and services).

• Efficiency of economics (Goods and services based on demand)



Disadvantages of a capitalist economic system:

• Inequality (A small group of people hold most of the wealth)

• There can be a monopoly of power (a specific enterprise is the only supplier of particular commodity)

• Unemployment

• Social benefit ignored. A free market will ignore externalities.

No, I feel the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, because there are more of them.

A man is 6 feet tall. To find the height of a tree, the shadow of the man and the shadow of the tree were measured. The length o
Sidana [21]

The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height

\frac{6}{4.5}  =  \frac{x}{12}

What is (128 +7x- 12) = (4x - 3)?​
podryga [215]

Answer:

x = -119/3 = -39 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(128 +7x- 12) = (4x - 3)

Combine like terms

(116 +7x) = (4x - 3)

Subtract 4x from each side

116 +7x-4x=4x-4x-3

116 +3x = -3

Subtract 116 from each side

116-116 +3x = -3-116

3x = -119

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = -119/3

x = -119/3

x = -39  2/3
