Our faucet is broken, and a plumber has been called. The arrival time of the plumber is uniformly distributed between 1pm and 7p

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$E(A+B) = E(A)+E(B)=4+0.5 =4.5 hours$

$Var(A+B)= Var(A)+Var(B)=3+0.25 hours^2=3.25 hours^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A the random variable that represent "The arrival time of the plumber ". And we know that the distribution of A is given by:

$A\sim Uniform(1 ,7)$

And let B the random variable that represent "The time required to fix the broken faucet". And we know the distribution of B, given by:

$B\sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{30 min})$

Supposing that the two times are independent, find the expected value and the variance of the time at which the plumber completes the project.

So we are interested on the expected value of A+B, like this

$E(A +B)$

Since the two random variables are assumed independent, then we have this

$E(A+B) = E(A)+E(B)$

So we can find the individual expected values for each distribution and then we can add it.

For ths uniform distribution the expected value is given by $E(X) =\frac{a+b}{2}$ where X is the random variable, and a,b represent the limits for the distribution. If we apply this for our case we got:

$E(A)=\frac{1+7}{2}=4 hours$

The expected value for the exponential distirbution is given by :

$E(X)= \int_{0}^\infty x \lambda e^{-\lambda x} dx$

If we use the substitution $y=\lambda x$ we have this:

$E(X)=\frac{1}{\lambda} \int_{0}^\infty y e^{-\lambda y} dy =\frac{1}{\lambda}$

Where X represent the random variable and $\lambda$ the parameter. If we apply this formula to our case we got:

$E(B) =\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{30}}=30min$

We can convert this into hours and we got E(B) =0.5 hours, and then we can find:

$E(A+B) = E(A)+E(B)=4+0.5 =4.5 hours$

And in order to find the variance for the random variable A+B we can find the individual variances:

$Var(A)= \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}=\frac{(7-1)^2}{12}=3 hours^2$

$Var(B) =\frac{1}{\lambda^2}=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{30})^2}=900 min^2 x\frac{1hr^2}{3600 min^2}=0.25 hours^2$

We have the following property:

$Var(X+Y)= Var(X)+Var(Y) +2 Cov(X,Y)$

Since we have independnet variable the Cov(A,B)=0, so then:

$Var(A+B)= Var(A)+Var(B)=3+0.25 hours^2=3.25 hours^2$

Need answer for d with working

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Question D.

Pretty simple if you know what the distributive property is. In this equation, you notice 2 fractions outside the parenthesis. This means you must multiply this fraction by every number within its corresponding parenthesis. So, if you distribute the new equation would be $(\frac{5}{4}y+ 1)=(\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{3})$ . After this isolate the variable y and solve. I'll leave that to you so you can get something out of it, because my entire explanation would be useless if you just looked at the answer and left, not knowing how to do it in the future. :)
