This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

X and Y are independent Gaussian (Normal) random Variables. X has mean 13.9 and variance 5.2; Y has mean 6.9 and variance 3.8. . (a) Calculate P( W> 10)

Answer:

P( W> 10) is 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

X ⇒ N( 13.9, 5.2 )

Y ⇒ N( 6.9, 3.8 )

W = X - Y

Therefore

E(W) = E(X) - E(Y)

= 13.9 - 6.9 = 7

Var(W) = Var(X) + Var(Y) -2COV(X.Y)

[ COV(X,Y) = 0 because they are independent]

Var(W) = 5.2 + 3.8 + 0

= 9

Therefore

W ⇒ N( 7, 9 )

so

P( W > 10 )

= 1 - P( W ≤ 10 )

= 1 - P( W-7 /3   ≤   10-7 /3 )

= 1 - P( Z ≤ 1 )           [ Z = W-7 / 3 ⇒ N(0, 1)  ]

from Standard normal distribution table, P( Z ≤ 1 )  = 0.8413

so

1 - P( Z ≤ 1 )  = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

Therefore P( W> 10) is 0.1587

Janice receives $.40 per pound for 1 to 99 pounds of aluminum cans he recycles. he receives $.50 per pound if you are cycles mor
Ilya [14]

Answer:

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function modeling</u>

Real-life situations often require the help of mathematics to model numerically what happens when the variables involved can change. It could even be used to predict some expected outcomes from those models.

The problem states Janice receives $.40 per pound when he recycles less or equal than 99 pounds of aluminum. If x is the number of recycled pounds, then the amount of money he receives is

M=0.4x

We also know that if he recycles more than 100 pounds of aluminum, the pay increases to $0.5 per pound. In that case, the amount of money is

M=0.5x

This is a case where the function is defined differently depending on the conditions of the input variable x. It's called a piecewise function. The function can be written as

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Note the function is not well constructed because there is a gap for x=100 where M is not defined. If we establish that for 100 pounds the payment is $0.5, then the second piece would include x=100

What is the standard form of the equation of a circle given by x^2 + y^2 - 18x + 8y + 5 = 0
arsen [322]
Completing the square:


x^2 - 18x + y^2 + 8y                       = -5
x^2-18x +81 - 81 + y^2 + 8y + 16 - 16 = -5.

Then, (x-9)^2 + (y+4)^2 = -5 + 81 + 16 = 92

Then the desired equation is (x-9)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 92.

I need help plss<br> Hola
Yanka [14]
The answer is 3 7/8 reduced because according to the order of operations we do the parenthesis first so we add -1/8 with 2/5 and then we will add the answer which was 11/40 then we add that to 3 3/5 and then we will get the answer 3 7/8 ( I reduced this so it would be in a nicer format.) have a nice day and god speed (:

What is the height of this triangle between C and D
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any side length of a right triangle given two side lengths, you would use the pythagorean theorem which is a² + b² = c². In this equation, a and b represents either the height of base of the triangle, and c represents the  hypotenuse of the triangle (the diagonal line - in your question it is 13). By plugging in the base and  hypotenuse, you get the equation of 5² + b² = 13². 5² is equal to 25 and 13² is equal to 169, so the equation is 25 + b² = 169. Subtract 25 for both sides of the equation and you find that b² = 144. Square both sides and the missing length is 12 because √144 = 12.
