Answer:

The Number of students:

A van can carry = x = 8 students

A bus can carry = y = 51 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Number of students:

A van can carry = x

A bus can carry = y

School A rented and filled 5 vans and 9 buses with 499 students.

5x + 9y = 499.... Equation 1

School B rented and filled 10 vans and 9 buses with 539 students.

10x + 9y = 539..... Equation 2

Combining both Equations

5x + 9y = 499.... Equation 1

10x + 9y = 539..... Equation 2

Using Elimination method

Subtract Equation 2 from 1

-5x = - 40

x = -40/-5

x = 8 students

Solving for y using Equation 1

5x + 9y = 499.... Equation 1

5 × 8 + 9y = 499

40 + 9y = 499

9y = 499 - 40

9y = 459

y = 459/9

y = 51 students

Therefore,

The Number of students:

A van can carry = x = 8 students

A bus can carry = y = 51 students

For each of the following functions, (i) find the constant c so that f(x) is a pdf of a random variable X, (ii) find the cdf, F(
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(a)

c=1/2

cdf  is    F(x) = x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if   f  is the pdf of a random variable X .

\int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) \,dx = 1

Then,

(a)

\int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty}  4xc \,dx = \int\limits_{0}^{1}  4xc \, d x = 2c = 1

Therefore

c=1/2

and

 f(x)=2x

then to compute the cdf, we have

F(x) = P(X \leq x) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{x}   2y \,dy  =  \int\limits_{0}^{x}   2y \, dy =  x^2
