Answer:

9 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of the porch= 6 boards

so to figure out how much one third of the porch needs you find half of what it takes to fill in 2/3 of the porch and you get 3.

so 3=1/3 of the porch

then you simply do 3times 3 or 3+3+3 and you get 9

so it takes 9 boards to fill the whole porch

An insurance company offers its policyholders a number of different premium payment options. For a randomly selected policyholde

n200080 [17]

Answer:

(a)

$\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {1} & {3} & {4} & {6} & {12} \ \\ P(x) & {0.30} & {0.10} & {0.05} & {0.15} & {0.40} \ \end{array}$

(b)

$P(3 \le x \le 6) = 0.30$

$P(4 \le x)=0.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$F(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0& x$

Solving (a): The pmf

This means that we list out the probability of each value of x.

To do this, we simply subtract the current probability value from the next.

So, we have:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {1} & {3} & {4} & {6} & {12} \ \\ P(x) & {0.30} & {0.10} & {0.05} & {0.15} & {0.40} \ \end{array}$

The calculation is as follows:

$0.30 - 0 = 0.30$

$0.40 - 0.30 = 0.10$

$0.45 - 0.40 = 0.05$

$0.60 - 0.45 = 0.15$

$1 - 0.60 = 0.40$

The x values are gotten by considering where the equality sign is in each range.

$1 \le x < 3$ means $x = 1$

$3 \le x < 4$ means $x = 3$

$4 \le x < 6$ means $x=4$

$6 \le x < 12$ means $x = 6$

$12 \le x$ means $x = 12$

Solving (b):

$(i)\ P(3 \le x \le 6)$

This is calculated as:

$P(3 \le x \le 6) = F(6) - F(3-)$

From the given function

$F(6)= 0.60$

$F(3-) = F(1) = 0.30$

So:

$P(3 \le x \le 6) = 0.60 - 0.30$

$P(3 \le x \le 6) = 0.30$

$(ii)\ P(4 \le x)$

This is calculated as:

$P(4 \le x)=1 - F(4-)$

$P(4 \le x)=1 - F(3)$

$P(4 \le x)=1 - 0.40$

$P(4 \le x)=0.60$
