Answer:

(a) k = 3/4

(b) 11/16

(c) 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

for a probability density function,

int(-inf,inf, f(x)) = 1

i.e. -inf is the lower bound, inf is the upper bound f(x) is the function in integration

since range of x is between 0 and 2 the equation becomes

int(0,2, f(x)) = 1

int(0,2, kx2(2-x)) = 1

expand f(x): kx2(2-x) = 2kx2 - kx3

integrate f(x) from x= 0 to 2:

int(0,2, 2kx2-kx3)

= k( 2x3/3 - x4/4) | (0 to 2)

= k (2(8)/3 - 16/4 - 0)  (after substitute 2 and 0 into the definite integral)

= k (4/3)

= 4k/3

for a probability density function 4k/3 = 1

Hence k = 3/4

(b)

new function f(x) = (3/4) x2(2-x)

find P\geq 1

The function has max x value of 2.

P(X\geq 1) = \int\limits^a_b {\frac{3}{4} x^{2}(2-x) } \, dx

with a = 2, b = 1

Through definite integral, we'll get

\frac{3}{4} [ {(\frac{16}{3}-4)-(\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{4} )]

= \frac{11}{16}

(c)

Mean = \int\limits^a_b {x.f(x)} \, dx with a = 2 and b = 0

x.f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^{2}(2-x)\\ =[tex]\int\limits^a_b {\frac{3}{2}x^{3} -\frac{3}{4} x^{4}} \, dx

= \frac{3}{4}x^{4}(1/4) - \frac{3}{4}x^{5}(1/5) | a =2, b=0

= \frac{3}{8}(16) - \frac{3}{20}(32) - 0

= 6 - 4.8

= 1.2

Volume=<br> A) 91 2/3 pie cubic units <br> B) 275 pie cubic units <br> C) 36 2/3 pie cubic units
MrMuchimi

the volume is 1/3 * height *area of the base (the circle) in cubic units

the area of the circle is pi*r²

wich gives us

1/3 * 11 * pi * 5²

rearrange

= 5² * 11 * 1/3 * pi

= 25*11*1/3*pi

= 275*1/3*pi

= 275/3 *pi

= (91 2/3)*pi

in cubic units

so your answer is the first option

During a fundraiser, students in Math Club make a $0,50 profit for every candy bar
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

profit(n) = n * .50

Profit(10) = 5.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = amount of candy bars sold * profit per candy bar

profit(n) = n * .50

Let the number of candy bars sold be 10  ( n=10)

Profit(10) = 10 * .50

               = 5.00
