Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 6 friends who want to share 4 brownies equally. You simply divide the 4 brownies by 6 people:
4/6 = 2/3 (simplified)
So each friend gets 2/3 of a brownies

11x = 44
X=4
44 + 7 = 51
5x = 20
31 + 20 =51
51 = 51
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, ![Y\sim Unif(1,5)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Y%5Csim%20Unif%281%2C5%29)
(a)
The area under the density curve is always 1.
The length is 5 units.
Compute the height as follows:
![\text{Area under the density curve}=\text{length}\times \text{height}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BArea%20under%20the%20density%20curve%7D%3D%5Ctext%7Blength%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Ctext%7Bheight%7D)
![1=5\times\text{height}\\\\\text{height}=\frac{1}{5}\\\\\text{height}=0.20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%3D5%5Ctimes%5Ctext%7Bheight%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7Bheight%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7Bheight%7D%3D0.20)
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:
![P(Y](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28Y%3Cy%29%3D0.38%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cint%5Climits%5E%7By%7D_%7B1%7D%20%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5-1%7D%7D%20%5C%2C%20dy%20%3D0.38%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Ctimes%20%5By%5D%5E%7By%7D_%7B1%7D%20%3D0.38%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7By-1%7D%7B4%7D%3D0.38%5C%5C%5C%5Cy-1%3D1.52%5C%5C%5C%5Cy%3D2.52)
Thus, the 38th percentile is 2.52 seconds.
