8/v-7=-5 add 7 to both sides
8/v=2 multiply both sides by v
8=2v divide both sides by 2
4=v
v=4
149.6 million kilometers is the distance.
Answer:
a) P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) = 0.02619
b) E(X) = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The CDF of a random variable X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , .... } is given as:
Find:
a.Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5
b) Find the expected value of X, E(X), using the fact that. (Hint: You will have to evaluate an infinite sum, but that will be easy to do if you notice that
Solution:
- The CDF gives the probability of (X < x) for any value of x. So to compute the P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) we will set the limits.
- The Expected Value can be determined by sum to infinity of CDF:
E(X) = Σ ( 1 - F(X) )
E(X) = Limit n->∞ [1 - 1 / ( n + 2 ) ]
E(X) = 1

Volume function: v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi)
Since the perimeter of the piece of sheet metal is 36, the height of the tube created will be 36/2 - x = 18-x.
The volume of the tube will be the area of the cross section multiplied by the height. The area of the cross section will be pi r^2 and r will be (x-1)/(2pi). So the volume of the tube is
v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)/(2pi))^2
v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)^2/(4pi^2))
v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi)
The maximum volume will happen when the value of the first derivative is zero. So calculate the first derivative:
v'(x) = (x-1)(3x - 37) / (4pi)
Convert to quadratic equation.
(3x^2 - 40x + 37)/(4pi) = 0
3/(4pi)x^2 - (10/pi)x + 37/(4pi) = 0
Now calculate the roots using the quadratic formula with a = 3/(4pi), b = -10/pi, and c = 37/(4pi)
The roots occur at x = 1 and x = 12 1/3. There are the points where the slope of the volume equation is zero. The root of 1 happens just as the volume of the tube is 0. So the root of 12 1/3 is the value you want where the volume of the tube is maximized. So the answer to the nearest tenth is 12.3</span>
