A tangent line is perpendicular to the radius to the point of tangency. Hence QR ⊥ PR. The Pythagorean theorem tells you
  (QR)² + (PR)² = (PQ)²
  (55 cm)² + (PR)² = (73 cm)²
  (PR)² = 2304 cm²
  (PR) = √(2304 cm²) = 48 cm

The length of PR is
  b. 48 cm

A random variableX= {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} has cumulative distribution function.a) Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5.b) Find the
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a) P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) = 0.02619

b) E(X) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The CDF of a random variable X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , .... } is given as:

                    F(X) = P ( X =< x) = 1 - \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)}

Find:

a.Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5

b) Find the expected value of X, E(X), using the fact that. (Hint: You will have to evaluate an infinite sum, but that will be easy to do if you notice that

Solution:

- The CDF gives the probability of (X < x) for any value of x. So to compute the P (  3 ≤X≤ 5 ) we will set the limits.

                   F(X) = P ( 3=

- The Expected Value can be determined by sum to infinity of CDF:

                   E(X) = Σ ( 1 - F(X) )

                   E(X) = \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)} = \frac{1}{(x+1)} - \frac{1}{(x+2)} \\\\= \frac{1}{(1)} - \frac{1}{(2)}\\\\= \frac{1}{(2)} - \frac{1}{(3)} \\\\=  \frac{1}{(3)} - \frac{1}{(4)}\\\\= ............................................\\\\=  \frac{1}{(n)} - \frac{1}{(n+1)}\\\\=  \frac{1}{(n+1)} - \frac{1}{(n+ 2)}

                   E(X) = Limit n->∞ [1 - 1 / ( n + 2 ) ]  

                   E(X) = 1

FIND THE INDICATED PROBABILITY FOR THE FOLLOWING:
luda_lava [24]

The value of the probability P(A) is 0.40

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters about the probability are

P(A or B) = 0.6

P(B) = 0.3

P(A and B) = 0.1

To calculate the probability P(A), we use the following formula

P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

0.1 = 0.3 + P(A) - 0.6

Collect the like terms

P(A)= 0.1 - 0.3 + 0.6

Evaluate the expression

P(A)= 0.4

Hence, the value of the probability P(A) is 0.40

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points<br> (0,2)) and (-9, -3)
Irina18 [472]

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= m x+ C

m (slope ) = 2 - (_3) / 0 _( - 9 )

= 5 / 9

( O, 2 ) Satisfying equation

2= 5/9 ( 0) + C

C= 2

So eq. is

y= 5/ 9 X + 2
