Let the random variable X be the number of rooms in a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city. Here are th

e distributions of the number of rooms for owner-occupied units and renter-occupied units:
Rooms 1 2 3 4 5
Owned 0.003 0.002 0.023 0.105 0.218
Rented 0.008 0.027 0.287 0.362 0.165
Rooms 6 7 8 9 10
Owned 0.225 0.198 0.149 0.053 0.024
Rented 0.095 0.033 0.013 0.003 0.004

Required:
a. Express "the unit has 7 or more rooms" in terms of X. x≥7. What is the probability of this event?
b. Express the event {X > 7} in words.
c. What important fact about discrete random variables does comparing your answers to (a) and (b) illustrate?

Answer:

Part a:

"The unit has 7 or more rooms" in terms of X is given by the unit which has 7, 8, 9 or 10 rooms.

P{ X≥7}= 0.424

Part b:

The event {X > 7} in words is that the unit has more  than 7 rooms. .

Part C:

A continuous random variable  is given by intervals of numbers

A discrete random variable is the variable that is obtained by counting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a:

"The unit has 7 or more rooms" in terms of X is given by

{ X≥7} = {x=7} + {x=8} + {x=9} + {x=10}

the unit which has 7, 8, 9 or 10 rooms.

The probability of this event is given by

P{ X≥7} =P {x=7} + P {x=8} + P {x=9} + P {x=10}

P{ X≥7} = 0.198 + 0.149+ 0.053 + 0.024

P{ X≥7}= 0.424

Part b:

The event {X > 7} in words is that the unit has more  than 7 rooms. This does not include the unit having 7 rooms.

Part C:

A continuous random variable takes all the values in the given interval as in part a.The random variable X takes the values between 7 and 10 inclusive of 7.

A discrete random variable is the variable that is obtained by counting as in part b. The variable X takes the values of the units with 8 , 9 or 10 rooms.

Zina goes shopping. She buys in the same store two scarves and three T-shirts for
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 42 euros

The price of scarves before the sale = -77/2 euros

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the items Zina buys from the store initially are;

Two scarves and three T-shirts for 49 euros

The reduction in the price of scarves a week later during sales = 1.5 euros

The reduction in the price of T-shirts a week later during sales = 2 euros

The items Zina bought for 40 euros at the reduced price of the sales opportunity are;

Four scarves and five T-shirts for 40 euros

Let 'x' represent the initial price of a scarf and let 'y' represent the initial price of a T-shirt, we  have;

2·x + 3·y = 49...(1)

4·(x - 1.5) + 5·(y - 2) = 40...(2)

Expanding equation (2) gives;

4·x - 6 + 5·y - 10 = 40

4·x + 5·y = 40 + 6 + 10 = 56

∴ 4·x + 5·y = 56...(3)

By multiplying equation (1) by 2 and subtracting the result from equation (3), we get;

4·x + 5·y - 2 × (2·x + 3·y) = 56 - 2 × 49 = -63

-y = -42

y = 42

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 42 euros

x = (49 - 3 × 42)/2 = -77/2

x = -77/2

The price of scarves before the sale = -77/2 euros

(However, if the had bought the 4 scarves and 5 T-shirts during sales at 70 euros, we get;

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 12 euros

The price of scarves before the sale = 6.5 euros.

The allowable total price for the reduced 4 scarves and 5 T-shirts is between 66 and about 82 for both initial prices to be +ve)

A building 220 feet casts a 100 foot long shadow. If a person stands at the end of the shadow and looks up to the top of the bui
kaheart [24]

Answer:

65.56°

Step-by-step explanation:

= We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

Opposite = 220 feet = Height of the building

Adjacent = 100 feet = Length of the shadow

Hence,

tan θ = 220/100

tan θ = 2.2

= arctan(2.2)

= 65.55604522°

Approximately = 65.56°
