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

at the dog show, there are 4 times as many boxer as spaniels. if there are a total of 30 dogs, how many dogs are spaniel?
Lyrx [107]
Firstly, given this information there could be 25 labradors and poodles and only 4 boxers and 1 spaniel. However, assuming that there are only boxers and spaniels at the dog show the first thing to do is to divide 30 by 5 = 6 so the answer is, There are 6 spaniels.

One lap around the school track is 5/8 of a mile Carin ran 3 1/2 laps how far did she run
bearhunter [10]

Given length of a lap = 5/8 mile.

Number of laps Carin ran = 3 1/2 laps.

3 1/2 can be read as 3 and a half. In improper fractions, it can be written as

(3*2+1)/2 = 7/2 laps.

In order to find the total distance covered in 3 1/2 or 7/2 laps, we need to multiply length of a lap by total number of laps ran.

Therefore, total distance covered = 7/2 × 5/8.

=\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{5}{8}

Multiplying across, we get

= \frac{7\times5}{2\times8}

=\frac{35}{16}

Let us convert 35/16 into mixed fractions.

On dividing 35 by 16, we get 2 quotient and 3 remainder.

So, the mixed fraction would be 2 3/16.

Therefore, she ran 2 3/16 miles in 3 1/2 laps.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

only solution C and D are linear function, and they are essentially straight lines. However, C have a x intercept of 5/2, so we rule out option C.

PLEASEE HELP!!! 50 POINTS!
valina [46]

Since the answer is in fraction form, you know to divide.

So, -24/7=

-3.42857143

If you want it in rounded form, its:

-3.42

So the answer is either: -3.42857143 or -3.42

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

Sorry as a mixed number its -3 and 3/7
