The lifetime of a leaf blower is exponentially distributed with a mean of 5 years. If you buy a 12 year old leaf blower, what is

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

1.967 × 10⁻¹¹

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability problem

Probability that a 12 year old leaf blower works for 5 more years = Probabilty that a leaf blower works for 17 years, given that it has worked for 12 years = P(17|12)

P(17|12) = P(17 n 12)/P(12)

P(17 n 12) = P(17)

Exponential random variable is given as

f(x) = λ e^(-λ.x)

λ = rate parameter = 5 years per blower

x = variable whose probability is required = 17

f(17) = 17 e^(-5×17)

f(17) = 17 e⁻⁸⁵ = 2.067 × 10⁻³⁶

f(12) = 12 e^(-5×12)

f(12) = 12 e⁻⁶⁰ = 1.051 × 10⁻²⁵

P(17|12) = (2.067 × 10⁻³⁶)/(1.051 × 10⁻²⁵)

P(17|12) = 1.967 × 10⁻¹¹

Find the inverse of this matrix.<br> 1 -1 -1<br> -1 2 3 <br> 1 1 4

zheka24 [161]

Let's use Gaussian elimination. Consider the augmented matrix,

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\-1 & 2 & 3 & 0 & 1 & 0\\1 & 1 & 4 & 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]$

• Add row 1 to row 2, and add -1 (row 1) to row 3:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0\\0 & 2 & 5 & -1 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]$

• Add -2 (row 2) to row 3:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0\\0 & 0 & 1 & -3 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]$

• Add -2 (row 3) to row 2:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & -1 & -1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0 & 7 & 5 & -2\\0 & 0 & 1 & -3 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]$

• Add row 2 and row 3 to row 1:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc}1 & 0 & 0 & 5 & 3 & -1\\0 & 1 & 0 & 7 & 5 & -2\\0 & 0 & 1 & -3 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]$

So the inverse is

$\begin{bmatrix}1&-1&-1\\-1&2&3\\1&1&4\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \boxed{\begin{bmatrix}5&3&-1\\7&5&-2\\-3&-2&1\end{bmatrix}}$

Describe two reasons for using a variable. Write your response using 4-5 complete sentences.

SVEN [57.7K]

One reason would be if you did not know the answer so you could do
4-5=x
another reason would be if the problem gave you the answer but not one of the things to get the answer
4-x=-1
not sure if that is what you want but I hope this helped
