Consider a uniform distribution created by a random number generator. The distribution looks like a square with a length of 1 an

d a height of 1. The random number generator creates any number between 0 and 1. Find the following probabilities:
a) P(0 <= X <= 0.4)
b) P(0.4 <= X <= 1)
c) P(X > 0.6)
d) P(X <= 0.6)
e) P(0.23 <= X <= 0.76)

The rigorous way to do this would be to compute a few integrals, but less work is usually better. Each of these probabilities correspond to the areas of rectangles. Each rectangle will have a height of 1, and the probability of interest will tell you everything you need to know about their lengths.

\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)\implies \text{length}=0.4\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.4\times1=0.4

\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le1)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.6

Alternatively, you can use the fact that \mathbb P(0.4\le X\le 1)=1-\mathbb P(0\le X\le 0.4) to get the same result.

\mathbb P(X>0.6)=\mathbb P(0.60.6)=0.4

\mathbb P(X\le0.6)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(X\le0.6)=0.6

\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)\implies \text{length}=0.76-0.23=0.53\implies\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)=0.53

Point x is located at (-2,-6) and point z is located at (0,5). Find the y value for the point y that is located 1/5 the disteanc
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

-3 1/2


Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the distance between x and z along the y-axis.

This will be: 5 - -6 = 11 units

1/5  of 11 = 1/5 × 11

                 = 11/5

                 = 2 1/5

Now add 2.5 to -6

2 1/2 + -6 = -3 1/2

The value of y = -3 1/2

The measure of an angle is nine times the measure of its complement. find the measure of each angle.
andrew11 [14]
Two angles are complementary when they add up to 90 degrees<span> 

</span><span>smaller angle = x
</span><span>larger angle = 9x
</span>
x + 9x = 90
10x = 90
x = 90/10
x = 9°  ← smaller angle

larger angle = 9x = 9 * 9 = 81°
