Answer:

a) f(x) = \frac{1}{25.9}

b) 0.2046 = 20.46% probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value above x is:

P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}

The probability density function of the uniform distribution is:

f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a}

The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards.

This means that a = 284.7, b = 310.6.

a. Give a mathematical expression for the probability density function of driving distance.

f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a} = \frac{1}{310.6-284.7} = \frac{1}{25.9}

b. What is the probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards?

P(X < 290) = \frac{290 - 284.7}{310.6-284.7} = 0.2046

0.2046 = 20.46% probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

Mark buys Apple stock for $100 and its value increases by a factor of 1.5 each week. Which equation represents the relationship
Bingel [31]

Given:

Initial value of the stock = $100

Growth factor = 1.5 each week.

To find:

The equation that represents the relationship between the number of weeks past since purchase and the current value of the stock.

Solution:

Let V be the current value of the stock after t week.

The exponential growth model is:

V=ab^t

Where, a is the initial value of stock, b is the weekly growth factor, t is the number of weeks.

Substituting a=100,b=1.5, we get

V=100(1.5)^t

Therefore, the required equation for the given situation is V=100(1.5)^t.
