The time between arrivals of taxis at a busy intersection is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. (a) What is th

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a) 0.0025

b) 0.9975

c) 23.03 minutes

d) 23.03 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time waited for a taxi.

If X is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes,then the probability that you have to wait more than t minutes is

$\large P(X>t) = e^{-t/10}$

a)

1 hour = 60 minutes, so the probability that you wait longer than one hour is

$\large P(X>60)=e^{-6}=0.0025$

b)

Due to the “memorylessness” of the exponential distribution, the probability that you have to wait 10 or less minutes after you have already waited for one hour, is the same as the probability that you have to wait 10 or less minutes

$\large P(X\leq 10)=1-e^{-6}=0.9975$

c)

We want x so that

P(X>x)=0.1

$\large e^{-x/10}=0.1\rightarrow -x/10=ln(0.1)\rightarrow x=-10ln(0.1)=23.03\;minutes$

d)

We want P(X<x)=0.9

$\large 1-e^{-x/10}=0.9\rightarrow e^{-x/10}=0.1\rightarrow x=-10ln(0.1)=23.03\;minutes$

Please help

MakcuM [25]

Hello there!

To find this, we must simplify this equation.

first, let's simplify the right side

-1 * x = -x

-1 * 5 = -5

Now, we have: y -3 = -x -5

Now we must add + 3 to each side to get rif of the negative three

now we have y = -x - 2

So, your answer is B.) y= -1x - 2

I hope my answer was of assistance!

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

an + 1 = an + 2n -1 ,a 1=1

a8= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

an+1=an+2n-1,a1=1

a6=a5+2x5-1

a6=26

a7=26+11

a7=37

a8=37+13

a8=50

Could the inverse of a non-function be a function? Explain or give an example.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The inverse of a non-function mapping is not necessarily a function.

For example, the inverse of the non-function mapping $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (0,\, 1),\, (1,\, 0),\, (1,\, 1) \rbrace\!$ is the same as itself (and thus isn't a function, either.)

Step-by-step explanation:

A mapping is a set of pairs of the form $(a,\, b)$ . The first entry of each pair is the value of the input. The second entry of the pair would be the value of the output.

A mapping is a function if and only if for each possible input value $x$ , at most one of the distinct pairs includes $x\!$ as the value of first entry.

For example, the mapping $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (1,\, 0) \rbrace$ is a function. However, the mapping $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (1,\, 0),\, (1,\, 1) \rbrace$ isn't a function since more than one of the distinct pairs in this mapping include $1$ as the value of the first entry.

The inverse of a mapping is obtained by interchanging the two entries of each of the pairs. For example, the inverse of the mapping $\lbrace (a_{1},\, b_{1}),\, (a_{2},\, b_{2})\rbrace$ is the mapping $\lbrace (b_{1},\, a_{1}),\, (b_{2},\, a_{2})\rbrace$ .

Consider mapping $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (0,\, 1),\, (1,\, 0),\, (1,\, 1) \rbrace\!$ . This mapping isn't a function since the input value $0$ is the first entry of more than one of the pairs.

Invert $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (0,\, 1),\, (1,\, 0),\, (1,\, 1) \rbrace\!$ as follows:

$(0,\, 0)$ becomes $(0,\, 0)$ .
$(0,\, 1)$ becomes $(1,\, 0)$ .
$(1,\, 0)$ becomes $(0,\, 1)$ .
$(1,\, 1)$ becomes $(1,\, 1)$ .

In other words, the inverse of the mapping $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (0,\, 1),\, (1,\, 0),\, (1,\, 1) \rbrace\!$ would be $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (1,\, 0),\, (0,\, 1),\, (1,\, 1) \rbrace\!$ , which is the same as the original mapping. (Mappings are sets. There is no order between entries within a mapping.)

Thus, $\lbrace (0,\, 0),\, (0,\, 1),\, (1,\, 0),\, (1,\, 1) \rbrace\!$ is an example of a non-function mapping that is still not a function.

More generally, the inverse of non-trivial ellipses (a class of continuous non-function $\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ mappings, including circles) are also non-function mappings.
