Carl has three lengths of cable, 5/6 yard long, 1/4 yard long, and 2/3 yard long. If he uses 1 yard of cable, how much cable is

Dafna1 [17]

He would have 9/12 yards left over because you have to create a common denominator which would be 12. so for 5/6 you would multiply by 2 so you have 10/12. 1/4 you have to multiply by 3 so you get 3/12. and 2/3 you have to multiply by 4 so you get 8/12. then you add them 10/12+3/12+8/12 = 21/12 which simplifies to 1 9/12 and because he used 1 yard he is left with 9/12.
final answer: 9/12 yards

An article suggests that a poisson process can be used to represent the occurrence of structural loads over time. suppose the me

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

a) $\lambda_1 = 2*2 = 4$

And let X our random variable who represent the "occurrence of structural loads over time" we know that:

$X(2) \sim Poi (4)$

And the expected value is $E(X) = \lambda =4$

So we expect 4 number of loads in the 2 year period.

b) $P(X(2) >6) = 1-P(X(2)\leq 6)= 1-[P(X(2) =0)+P(X(2) =1)+P(X(2) =2)+...+P(X(2) =6)]$

$P(X(2) >6) = 1- [e^{-4}+ \frac{e^{-4}4^1}{1!}+ \frac{e^{-4}4^2}{2!} +\frac{e^{-4}4^3}{3!} +\frac{e^{-4}4^4}{4!}+\frac{e^{-4}4^5}{5!}+\frac{e^{-4}4^6}{6!}]$

And we got: $P(X(2) >6) =1-0.889=0.111$

c) $e^{-2t} \leq 2$

We can apply natural log in both sides and we got:

$-2t \leq ln(0.2)$

If we multiply by -1 both sides of the inequality we have:

$2t \geq -ln(0.2)$

And if we divide both sides by 2 we got:

$t \geq \frac{-ln(0.2)}{2}$

$t \geq 0.8047$

And then we can conclude that the time period with any load would be 0.8047 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

$P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}$

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution"

Solution to the problem

Let X our random variable who represent the "occurrence of structural loads over time"

For this case we have the value for the mean given $\mu = 0.5$ and we can solve for the parameter $\lambda$ like this:

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 0.5$

$\lambda =2$

So then $X(t) \sim Poi (\lambda t)$

X follows a Poisson process

Part a

For this case since we are interested in the number of loads in a 2 year period the new rate would be given by:

$\lambda_1 = 2*2 = 4$

And let X our random variable who represent the "occurrence of structural loads over time" we know that:

$X(2) \sim Poi (4)$

And the expected value is $E(X) = \lambda =4$

So we expect 4 number of loads in the 2 year period.

Part b

For this case we want the following probability:

$P(X(2) >6)$

And we can use the complement rule like this

$P(X(2) >6) = 1-P(X(2)\leq 6)= 1-[P(X(2) =0)+P(X(2) =1)+P(X(2) =2)+...+P(X(2) =6)]$

And we can solve this like this using the masss function:

$P(X(2) >6) = 1- [e^{-4}+ \frac{e^{-4}4^1}{1!}+ \frac{e^{-4}4^2}{2!} +\frac{e^{-4}4^3}{3!} +\frac{e^{-4}4^4}{4!}+\frac{e^{-4}4^5}{5!}+\frac{e^{-4}4^6}{6!}]$

And we got: $P(X(2) >6) =1-0.889=0.111$

Part c

For this case we know that the arrival time follows an exponential distribution and let T the random variable:

$T \sim Exp(\lambda=2)$

The probability of no arrival during a period of duration t is given by:

$f(T) = e^{-\lambda t}$

And we want to find a value of t who satisfy this:

$e^{-2t} \leq 2$

We can apply natural log in both sides and we got:

$-2t \leq ln(0.2)$

If we multiply by -1 both sides of the inequality we have:

$2t \geq -ln(0.2)$

And if we divide both sides by 2 we got:

$t \geq \frac{-ln(0.2)}{2}$

$t \geq 0.8047$

And then we can conclude that the time period with any load would be 0.8047 years.

A little help here? <br><br><br> Whats the value of X?

zubka84 [21]

You’d add 65+79 to get 144 then subtract that from 180 and get 36 so X would be 36 :) hope this helped!
