1 answer:

3 0

Pierre ran 19 and 13/20 miles.

Given:
marathon length : 26 2/10 miles
pierre's length ran : 3/4 of the way.

Multiply the fractions.
Convert the marathon length from a mixed fraction into a fraction.
26 2/10 = ((26*10)+2)/10 = (260+2)/10 = 262/10

262/10 * 3/4 = (262*3) / (10*4) = 786/40 = 19 26/40

19 26/40 simplified to 19 13/20 miles

26 ÷ 2 = 13
40 ÷ 2 = 20

Answer:

e. 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, a certain quantity of goods was supplied while a specific quantity of goods was sold per week. In a given week, if the number of proportion sold is X, therefore:

f(x) = {Γ(4+2)/Γ(4)Γ(2) x^3 (1-x), 0≤x≤1 ; 0, elsewhere

and

P(X greater than 0.9) = $\int\limits^1_ {0.9} \, 20(x^{3} - x^{4}) dx$ = 20*{(y^4/4)[1,0.9] - (y^5/5)[1,0.9]} = 20*{(0.25 - 0.164) - (0.20 - 0.118)} = 20*{0.086 - 0.0819} = 20*0.0041 = 0.082
