Answer:  B. 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pages read by Rafael be 'x'.

Then, The number of pages read by Denise =\frac{3}{4}x

The numb er of pages read by Philippe =\frac{1}{2}x

According to the question :-

x+\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}x=540\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{4x+3x+2x}{4}=540\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{9x}{4}=540\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{540\times4}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow x=240

The number of  pages read by Rafael =240

Verify that the functions are probability mass functions, and determine the requested probabilities.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

a) 3/64 = 0.046 (4.6%)

b) 63/64 = 0.9843 (98.43%)

c) 1/64 = 0.015 (1.5%)

d) 1/4 = 0.25 (25%)

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to verify that the f(x) is a probability mass function , then it should comply the requirement that the sum of probabilities over the entire space of x is equal to 1. Then

∑f(x)*Δx = 1

if f(x)=(3/4)(1/4)^x , x = 0, 1, 2, ...

then Δx=1 and

∑f(x) = (3/4)∑(1/4)^x = (3/4)* [ 1/(1-1/4)] = (3/4)*(4/3) = 1

then f represents a probability mass function

a) P(X = 2)= f(x=2) = (3/4)(1/4)^2 = 3/64 = 0.046 (4.6%)

b) P(X ≤ 2) = ∑f(x) =  f(x=0)+ f(x=1) + f(x=2) = (3/4) + (3/4)(1/4) +  3/64 = 63/64 = 0.9843 (98.43%)

c) P(X > 2)= 1- P(X ≤ 2) = 1 - 63/64 = 1/64 = 0.015 (1.5%)

d) P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X < 1) = 1 - f(x=0) = 1- 3/4 = 1/4 = 0.25 (25%)

Find the percent of the area under the density curve where x is more than 3. <br>​
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The percent of the area under the density curve where x is more that 3 is 25 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the density curve is a linear function, the area under the curve can be calculated by the geometric formula for a triangle, defined by the following expression:

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (x_{f} - x_{o})\cdot  (y_{f}-y_{o}) (1)

Where:

A - Area, in square units.

x_{f} - x_{o} - Base of the triangle, in units.

y_{f} - y_{o} - Height of the triangle, in units.

The percent of the area is the ratio of triangle areas under the density curve multiplied by 100 per cent, that is:

x = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (5-3)\cdot (0.25) }{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (5-1)\cdot (0.5) }\times 100\,\%

x = 25\,\%

The percent of the area under the density curve where x is more that 3 is 25 %.
