Answer:

ju12. Julle is looking through a catalogue for ice-cream. She can buy 2 L of triple-chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Julle is looking through a catalogue for ice-cream. She can buy 2 L of triple-chocolate

ice cream for $6.30 while the vanilla fudge ice-cream is usually $5.40 for 1.2 L.

What saving does there need to be on the price of the 1.2 L container of vanilla fudge

ice cream for it to be of equal value to the 2 L triple-chocolate container?

A contractor is required by a county planning department to submit one, two, three, four, or five forms (depending on the nature

Westkost [7]

Answer:

(a) The value of k is $\frac{1}{15}$ .

(b) The probability that at most three forms are required is 0.40.

(d) $P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50} ;\ y=1, 2, ...5$ is not the pmf of y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable Y is defined as the number of forms required of the next applicant.

The probability mass function is defined as:

$P(y) = \left \{ {{ky};\ for \ y=1,2,...5 \atop {0};\ otherwise} \right$

(a)

The sum of all probabilities of an event is 1.

Use this law to compute the value of k.

$\sum P(y) = 1\\k+2k+3k+4k+5k=1\\15k=1\\k=\frac{1}{15}$

Thus, the value of k is $\frac{1}{15}$ .

(b)

Compute the value of P (Y ≤ 3) as follows:

$P(Y\leq 3)=P(Y=1)+P(Y=2)+P(Y=3)\\=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{2}{15}+ \frac{3}{15}\\=\frac{1+2+3}{15}\\ =\frac{6}{15} \\=0.40$

Thus, the probability that at most three forms are required is 0.40.

(c)

Compute the value of P (2 ≤ Y ≤ 4) as follows:

$P(2\leq Y\leq 4)=P(Y=2)+P(Y=3)+P(Y=4)\\=\frac{2}{15}+\frac{3}{15}+\frac{4}{15}\\ =\frac{2+3+4}{15}\\ =\frac{9}{15} \\=0.60$

Thus, the probability that between two and four forms (inclusive) are required is 0.60.

(d)

Now, for $P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50} ;\ y=1, 2, ...5$ to be the pmf of Y it has to satisfy the conditions:

$P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50}>0;\ for\ all\ values\ of\ y \\$
$\sum P(y)=1$

Check condition 1:

$y=1:\ P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50}=\frac{1}{50}=0.02>0\\y=2:\ P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50}=\frac{4}{50}=0.08>0 \\y=3:\ P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50}=\frac{9}{50}=0.18>0\\y=4:\ P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50}=\frac{16}{50}=0.32>0 \\y=5:\ P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50}=\frac{25}{50}=0.50>0$

Condition 1 is fulfilled.

Check condition 2:

$\sum P(y)=0.02+0.08+0.18+0.32+0.50=1.1>1$

Condition 2 is not satisfied.

Thus, $P(y)=\frac{y^{2}}{50} ;\ y=1, 2, ...5$ is not the pmf of y.

The shardze family is planning A car trip to Atlanta Georgia which is 279 miles from their home they plan to drive at an average

Gnoma [55]

They are going 279 miles at a rate of 62 mph.

time = distance / speed
time = 279/62
time = 4.5 hrs...or (4 hrs 30 minutes)

plus they plan on a 45 minute lunch...
4 hrs and 30 minutes + 45 minutes = 4 hrs and 75 minutes =
5 hrs 15 minutes. So they need 5 hrs and 15 minutes to get there...and they want to be there by 3.

So they will have to leave at : 9:45 <==

EXAMPLE 5 Find the maximum value of the function f(x, y, z) = x + 2y + 9z on the curve of intersection of the plane x − y + z =

geniusboy [140]

The Lagrangian,

$L(x,y,z,\lambda,\mu)=x+2y+9z-\lambda(x-y+z-1)-\mu(x^2+y^2-1)$

has critical points where its partial derivatives vanish:

$L_x=1-\lambda-2\mu x=0$

$L_y=2+\lambda-2\mu y=0$

$L_z=9-\lambda=0$

$L_\lambda=x-y+z-1=0$

$L_\mu=x^2+y^2-1=0$

$L_z=0$ tells us $\lambda=9$ , so that

$L_x=0\implies-8-2\mu x=0\implies x=-\dfrac4\mu$

$L_y=0\implies11-2\mu y=0\implies y=\dfrac{11}{2\mu}$

Then with $L_\mu=0$ , we get

$x^2+y^2=\dfrac{16}{\mu^2}+\dfrac{121}{4\mu^2}=1\implies\mu=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{185}}2$

and $L_\lambda=0$ tells us

$x-y+z=-\dfrac4\mu-\dfrac{11}{2\mu}+z=1\implies z=1+\dfrac{19}{2\mu}$

Then there are two critical points, $\left(\pm\frac8{\sqrt{185}},\mp\frac{11}{\sqrt{185}},1\pm\frac{19}{\sqrt{185}}\right)$ . The critical point with the negative $x$ -coordinates gives the maximum value, $9+\sqrt{185}$ .
