This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Let X denote the time in minutes (rounded to the nearest half minute) for a blood sample to be taken. The probability mass function for X is:

x     0       0.5       1       1.5       2       2.5

f(x)  0.1     0.2     0.3    0.2     0.1       0.1

determine;

a) P( X < 2.5 )

B) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 )

Answer:

a) P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.9

b) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The probability mass function for X is:

x     0       0.5       1       1.5       2       2.5

f(x)  0.1     0.2     0.3    0.2     0.1       0.1

a) P( X < 2.5 )

P( X < 2.5 ) = p[ x = 0 ] + p[ x = 0.5 ] + p[ x = 1 ] + p[ x = 1.5 ] + p[ x = 2 ]

so

P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.1

P( X < 2.5 ) = 0.9

b) P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 )

P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = p[ x = 1 ] + p[ x = 1.5 ]

so

P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.3 + 0.2

P( 0.75 < X ≤ 1.5 ) = 0.5

Percy Cod takes a walk around the perimeter path of his local park. The park is in the shape of a rectangle which is 400m wide a
lozanna [386]

Answer:

2800m

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption:

Start point from which Percy Cod walks is "x"

If he walks around a perimeter that is the shape of a rectangle,

Length of area = L = 1000m

Width of area = W = 400m

Distance around the rectangle = D = 2 * (L + W)

D = 2 * (400+1000)

D = 2 * 1400

D = 2800m

Job natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it’s on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount
Rzqust [24]
We can make an equation that would help this. X will be the discount rate.
4x=3.60
Now, we need to solve the equation to find what X is.
Let's divide each side by 4.
x=.9
So, we know that the item was sold for 90% of what it was before, meaning that it has a 10% discount.

Write the sentence as an inequality. The cost of a ticket t will be no more than $52.
NeX [460]

Answer:

t is less than or equal to $52, or t <= $52

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can't have more than $52, then use less than symbol (<). The sentence doesn't state that a ticket shouldn't cost $52, so it's safe to assume that you can have exactly $52.

A typical cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine and every hour approximately 16% ofthe amount of caffeine inthe body i
Over [174]

Answer:

a) \frac{dC}{dt} = rC

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

\frac{dC}{C} = r dt

If we integrate both sides we got:

ln C = rt + k

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}

For this case C_o = 100 mg and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}

Where t represent the number of hours

b) C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we can assume the proportional model given by:

\frac{dC}{dt} = rC

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

\frac{dC}{C} = r dt

If we integrate both sides we got:

ln C = rt + k

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}

For this case C_o = 100 mg and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}

Where t represent the number of hours

Part b

For this case we can replace the value t=5 into the model and we got:

C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329
