Answer:

The approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the speeding ticket fines is of 12.41.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Middle 68% of speeding ticket fines on a highway fall between 93.18 and 118.

This means that 93.18 is one standard deviation below the mean and 118 is one standard deviation above the mean. That is, the difference between 118 and 93.18 is worth two standard deviations. So

2s = 118 - 93.18

s = \frac{(118 - 93.18)}{2}

s = 12.41

The approximate estimate of the standard deviation of the speeding ticket fines is of 12.41.

Write the given differential equation in the form L(y) = g(x), where L is a linear differential operator with constant coefficie
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The complete solution is

\therefore y= Ae^{3x}+Be^{-\frac13 x}-\frac43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given differential equation is

3y"- 8y' - 3y =4

The trial solution is

y = e^{mx}

Differentiating with respect to x

y'= me^{mx}

Again differentiating with respect to x

y''= m ^2 e^{mx}

Putting the value of y, y' and y'' in left side of the differential equation

3m^2e^{mx}-8m e^{mx}- 3e^{mx}=0

\Rightarrow 3m^2-8m-3=0

The auxiliary equation is

3m^2-8m-3=0

\Rightarrow 3m^2 -9m+m-3m=0

\Rightarrow 3m(m-3)+1(m-3)=0

\Rightarrow (3m+1)(m-3)=0

\Rightarrow m = 3, -\frac13

The complementary function is

y= Ae^{3x}+Be^{-\frac13 x}

y''= D², y' = D

The given differential equation is

(3D²-8D-3D)y =4

⇒(3D+1)(D-3)y =4

Since the linear operation is

L(D) ≡ (3D+1)(D-3)    

For particular integral

y_p=\frac 1{(3D+1)(D-3)} .4

    =4.\frac 1{(3D+1)(D-3)} .e^{0.x}    [since e^{0.x}=1]

   =4\frac{1}{(3.0+1)(0-3)}      [ replace D by 0 , since L(0)≠0]

   =-\frac43

The complete solution is

y= C.F+P.I

\therefore y= Ae^{3x}+Be^{-\frac13 x}-\frac43
