Suppose that Y has density function

Mathematics

zvonat [6]3 years ago

I'm assuming

f(y)=\begin{cases}ky(1-y)&\text{for }0\le y\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

(a) <em>f(x)</em> is a valid probability density function if its integral over the support is 1:

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=k\int_0^1 y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=k\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=1

Compute the integral:

\displaystyle\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=\left(\frac{y^2}2-\frac{y^3}3\right)\bigg|_0^1=\frac12-\frac13=\frac16

So we have

<em>k</em> / 6 = 1   →   <em>k</em> = 6

(b) By definition of conditional probability,

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 | <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 and <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) / P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8)

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 | <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4) / P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8)

It makes sense to derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the rest of the problem, since <em>F(y)</em> = P(<em>Y</em> ≤ <em>y</em>).

We have

\displaystyle F(y)=\int_{-\infty}^y f(t)\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^y6t(1-t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }y

Then

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4) = <em>F</em> (0.4) = 0.352

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = <em>F</em> (0.8) = 0.896

and so

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 | <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = 0.352 / 0.896 ≈ 0.393

(c) The 0.95 quantile is the value <em>φ</em> such that

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ <em>φ</em>) = 0.95

In terms of the integral definition of the CDF, we have solve for <em>φ</em> such that

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=0.95

We have

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^\varphi 6y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=(3y^2-2y^3)\bigg|_0^\varphi = 0.95

which reduces to the cubic

3<em>φ</em>² - 2<em>φ</em>³ = 0.95

Use a calculator to solve this and find that <em>φ</em> ≈ 0.865.

Patty wants a triangle garden in her backyard for all of her vegetables. She
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the hypothenuse is the largest side in the right triangle

we have 2 side, 7,8

in a right triangle, c^2= a^2+b^2

where c is the hypothenuse

c^2=49+64=113

c=sqrt113=aprox 10.6

so, the answer is no if it has to be exactly 10 ft the hypotenuse

A square has an area of 49 cm^2
crimeas [40]
To find area you need to multiply
length x width

Since 49 can be square rooted it equals seven

L x W = Area
Area = 7 x 7
Area = 49

Meaning since it’s a square the perimeter is
7 by 7 by 7 by 7 in other words 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 OR 7 x 4(equal sides)

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(5x-1)=3(x+11)

10x-2=3x+33

10x-3x=33+2

7x=35

x=5
