a. f_{X,Y} is a joint density function if its integral over the given support is 1:

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty\int_{-\infty}^\infty f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac1{10}\int_0^\infty\int_0^\infty e^{-x/2-y/5}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy

=\displaystyle\frac1{10}\left(\int_0^\infty e^{-x/2}\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^\infty e^{-y/5}\,\mathrm dy\right)=\frac1{10}\cdot2\cdot5=1

so the answer is yes.

b. We should first find the density of the marginal distribution, f_Y(y):

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx=\frac1{10}\int_0^\infty e^{-x/2-y/5}\,\mathrm dy

f_Y(y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac15e^{-y/5}&\text{for }y\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

Then

P(Y\ge8)=\displaystyle\int_8^\infty f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=e^{-8/5}

or about 0.2019.

For the other probability, we can use the joint PDF directly:

P(X\le5,Y\le8)=\displaystyle\int_0^5\int_0^8f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=1+e^{-41/10}-e^{-5/2}-e^{-8/5}

which is about 0.7326.

c. We already know the PDF for Y, so we just integrate:

E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty y\,f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\frac15\int_0^\infty ye^{-y/5}\,\mathrm dy=\boxed5

In the given right triangle, find the missing length to the nearest tenth.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

D. 25 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing length of any right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem (A^2+B^2=C^2) to solve. A and B represent the legs (which we do have) and C represents the hypotenuse (which we are trying to find). Insert our known values into the theorem, and we will get 24^2+7^2=C^2. Now we just do the basic math for the numbers that we have (24^2 is 576<em>;</em><em> </em>7^2 is 49), and that added up would equal to 625. Now, since C is being squared on the other side, we now have to root both sides. On the side where C is, the radical and the square will cancel out each other, leaving us with just C. But, on the side where 625 is, it should root to 25. Since C is by itself now, the number on the other side (25) will be our answer. Therefore, the missing side is 25 feet long.

Quiz<br> 6. Simplify the expression.<br> 4 (10 – 4)² + 4)<br> A6<br> B 36<br> D 12
larisa86 [58]

This is all about operations priority! We have to perform the operations in the right order, remembering that parentheses come first, then powers, then multiplications and then additions:

Start with

4(10-4)^2+4

Perform the operations inside parenthesis first:

4\cdot 6^2+4

Perform the square:

4\cdot 36+4

Perform the product:

144+4

Perform the sum:

148

Note: you have an extra parenthesis at the end, and none of the options meets the result. I'm afraid that there's a typo in the question, but this should still give you a valid strategy to solve the actual exercise.

A machine makes 150 boxes in 15 minutes what is the rate
NemiM [27]

The rate of the machine is 10 boxes per min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A machine can make 150 boxes in 15 min

To find the rate of the machine

Meaning to find the number of boxes machine it can make in 1 min

We will apply unitary method.

In 15 min it makes 150 boxes

In 1 min it makes (150÷15) boxes = 10 boxes

Hence the rate is 10 boxes per min.
