Answer:
(a) 0.20
(b) 31%
(c) 2.52 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>Y</em> models the amount of time the subject has to wait for the light to flash.
The density curve represents that of an Uniform distribution with parameters <em>a</em> = 1 and <em>b</em> = 5.
So, 
(a)
The area under the density curve is always 1.
The length is 5 units.
Compute the height as follows:
Thus, the height of the density curve is 0.20.
(b)
Compute the value of P (Y > 3.75) as follows:
![P(Y>3.75)=\int\limits^{5}_{3.75} {\frac{1}{b-a}} \, dy \\\\=\int\limits^{5}_{3.75} {\frac{1}{5-1}} \, dy\\\\=\frac{1}{4}\times [y]^{5}_{3.75}\\\\=\frac{5-3.75}{4}\\\\=0.3125\\\\\approx 0.31](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28Y%3E3.75%29%3D%5Cint%5Climits%5E%7B5%7D_%7B3.75%7D%20%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bb-a%7D%7D%20%5C%2C%20dy%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cint%5Climits%5E%7B5%7D_%7B3.75%7D%20%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5-1%7D%7D%20%5C%2C%20dy%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Ctimes%20%5By%5D%5E%7B5%7D_%7B3.75%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B5-3.75%7D%7B4%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.3125%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Capprox%200.31)
Thus, the light will flash more than 3.75 seconds after the subject clicks "Start" 31% of the times.
(c)
Compute the 38th percentile as follows:
Thus, the 38th percentile is 2.52 seconds.
The LCD of 1/3 and 2/9....ur basically looking for the lowest number that both 3 and 9 go into evenly...and that number is 9
Answer:
none of them
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = 0.5 × base × perpendicular height
Here the base is BC and perpendicular height is AD, hence
Area of ΔABC = 0.5 × BC × AD
Answer:
Question 1 is the third the other is right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a number.
The statement can be interpreted as:
- 5 is subtracted <u>from</u> a number : x - 5
- A number is greater than 6 : x > 6
- When 5 is subtracted <u>from</u> 3 times a number, the result is greater than 6 : 3x - 5 > 6
And then we simplify 3x - 5 > 6:
- 3x - 5 > 6
- 3x > 11
- x > 11/3
- x > 3.666...
To get the smallest whole number satisfying the inequality above, we can take the "ceiling" of 3.66 which is 4.
Note:
The ceiling of a number is the nearest integer (or in this case, nearest whole number) of a number. It can be denoted by ceil(x).
For example, the ceiling of 0.1 is 1. The ceiling of 5 is 5 since 5 itself is a integer.
