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

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

Required:
a. What is the pmf of x?
b. Using just the cdf, compute P(3< x <6)and P(4< 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

Sabiendo que lo ancho de un terreno rectangular mide 24.7 m y que su perímetro es de 131.8 m. ¿Cuánto mide cada uno de sus lados
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

El perímetro de un terreno rectangular mide 48 m . Calcula sus dimensiones si el largo es el doble que el ancho.

Respuesta:

De largo mide 16m

De ancho mide 8m

Explicación paso a paso:

Perímetro = número de lados multiplicado por longitud del lado.

Formula: P = 2(a + b)  o    P = 2b + 2h

Donde: P = Rectángulo del perímetro

           a y b = Longitudes de lados

Asignamos las variables:

Largo = 2x

Ancho = x

Utilizamos la formula:

2(x) + 2(2x) = 48

2x + 4x = 48

6x = 48

x = 48/6

x = 8m  (ancho)

2x

2(8)

16m (largo)
