Answer:

8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ao be the original amount and A the amount after t days.

Then we have the exponential function

     A = Ao(1 - x)^t or

A/Ao = (1 - x)^t

When t = 8, A/Ao = 0.5

         0.5 = (1 - x)^8

(0.5)^(1/8) = 1 - x

     0.917 = 1 - x

            x = 1 - 0.917 = 0.083 = 8.3 %

The substance decays by 8.3 % each day.

Suppose x follows a continuous uniform distribution from 1 to 5. determine the conditional probability p(x &gt;2.5 | x ≤ 4).
Rainbow [258]
Because the random variable x follows a continuous uniform distribution from x=1 to x=5, therefore
p(x) = 1/4,  x=[1, 5]
The value of p(x) ensures that the total area under the curve = 1.

The conditional probability p(x > 2.5 | x ≤ 4) is the shaded portion of the curve. Its value is
p(x > 2.5 | x ≤4) = (1/4)*(4 - 2.5) = 0.375

Answer: 0.375
