r, let X 5 the number of months between successive payments. The cdf of X is as follows:
0 x<1
0.30 1< x <3
F(x)= 0.40 3< x <4
0.45 4< x <6
0.60 6< x <12
1 12< x

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

Pythagorean triples are given by the formulas x2 - y2, 2xy, and x2 + y2. Use the formulas for the Pythagorean triples to prove w
Arte-miy333 [17]
Let k be an integer. Suppose there is a triangle with legs of length 16 and 2k+1. Then by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse should be

\sqrt{16^2+(2k+1)^2}=\sqrt{4k^2+4k+257}

The formulas for Pythagorean triples say that if the legs are integers, then so must be the hypotenuse, because if x=16 and y=2k+1 are integers, then so are x^2-y^2, 2xy, and x^2+y^2.

However, 4k^2+4k+257 is not a perfect square trinomial, which means for any integer k, the length of the hypotenuse is not an integer, so such a triangle doesn't exist.

The answer is 18. F(2) is saying that x is equal to 2. so where ever there is an x in the problem you should fill in 2 for. then all you have to do is type it into a graphing calculator and solve.
