-1/3(x - 15) = -4

step 1 : multiply both sides by -3, step 2 : add 15 to both sides

because when u multiply both sides by -3, this cancels out the -1/3 on the left side leaving u with : x - 15 = -4 * -3.....x - 15 = 12.....and then u would add 15 to both sides....giving u : x = 12 + 15.....x = 27

Since q(x) is inside p(x), find the x-value that results in q(x) = 1/4

\frac{1}{4} = 5 - x^2\ \Rightarrow\ x^2 = 5 - \frac{1}{4}\ \Rightarrow\ x^2 = \frac{19}{4}\ \Rightarrow \\
x = \frac{\sqrt{19} }{2}

so we conclude that
q(\frac{\sqrt{19} }{2} ) = 1/4

therefore

p(1/4) = p\left( q\left(\frac{ \sqrt{19} }{2} \right)  \right)

plug x=\sqrt{19}/2 into p( q(x) ) to get answer

p(1/4) = p\left( q\left( \frac{ \sqrt{19} }{2} \right) \right)\ \Rightarrow\ \dfrac{4 - \left(  \frac{\sqrt{19} }{2}\right)^2 }{ \left(  \frac{\sqrt{19} }{2}\right)^3 } \Rightarrow \\ \\ \dfrac{4 - \frac{19}{4} }{ \frac{19\sqrt{19} }{8}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{8\left(4 - \frac{19}{4}\right) }{ 8 \cdot \frac{19\sqrt{19} }{8}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{32 - 38}{19\sqrt{19}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{-6}{19\sqrt{19}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{19}}{\sqrt{19}}\Rightarrow

\dfrac{-6\sqrt{19} }{19 \cdot 19} \\ \\ \Rightarrow  -\dfrac{6\sqrt{19} }{361}

p(1/4) = -\dfrac{6\sqrt{19} }{361}

Stephanie has a homeowners insurance policy for her $355,000 home with an annual premium of $0.42 per $100 of value and a deduct
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$0.28 per 100 of value (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephanie has a homeowner insurance policy of $355,000

Annual premium = $0.42 per 100

There is a deductible of $500

Stephanie has an annual out of pocket expense of

[($355,000/100) x $0.42] + $500 = $1,991

From the question, Stephanie now wants a new deductible amount of 1000.

Let X be the new annual premium

[(355,000X) / 100] + 1000 = 1991

3550X + 1000 = 1991

3550X = 1991 -1000

3550X = 991

X = 991/3550

X = 0.2791

X = 0.28 ( approximately)

The new annual premium is $0.28 per 100 of value

The joint probability density function of X and Y is given by fX,Y (x, y) = ( 6 7 x 2 + xy 2 if 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 2
fredd [130]

I'm going to assume the joint density function is

f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}\frac67(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)&\text{for }0

a. In order for f_{X,Y} to be a proper probability density function, the integral over its support must be 1.

\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^1\frac67\left(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac67\int_0^2\left(\frac13+\frac y4\right)\,\mathrm dy=1



b. You get the marginal density f_X by integrating the joint density over all possible values of Y:

f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^2f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\begin{cases}\frac67(2x^2+x)&\text{for }0

c. We have

P(X>Y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^xf_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^1\frac{15}{14}x^3\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac{15}{56}}

d. We have

\displaystyle P\left(X

and by definition of conditional probability,

P\left(Y>\dfrac12\mid X\frac12\text{ and }X

\displaystyle=\dfrac{28}5\int_{1/2}^2\int_0^{1/2}f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\frac{69}{80}}

e. We can find the expectation of X using the marginal distribution found earlier.

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^1xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac67\int_0^1(2x^2+x)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac57}

f. This part is cut off, but if you're supposed to find the expectation of Y, there are several ways to do so.

  • Compute the marginal density of Y, then directly compute the expected value.

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx=\begin{cases}\frac1{14}(4+3y)&\text{for }0

\implies E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\frac87

  • Compute the conditional density of Y given X=x, then use the law of total expectation.

f_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)=\dfrac{f_{X,Y}(x,y)}{f_X(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{2x+y}{4x+2}&\text{for }0

The law of total expectation says

E[Y]=E[E[Y\mid X]]

We have

E[Y\mid X=x]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)\,\mathrm dy=\frac{6x+4}{6x+3}=1+\frac1{6x+3}

\implies E[Y\mid X]=1+\dfrac1{6X+3}

This random variable is undefined only when X=-\frac12 which is outside the support of f_X, so we have

E[Y]=E\left[1+\dfrac1{6X+3}\right]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\left(1+\frac1{6x+3}\right)f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac87
