Answer:

$29$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

( 1 - 20% ) x = 23.2

$0.8x = 23.2$

$\frac{0.8x}{0.8} = \frac{23.2}{0.8}$

$x = 29$

An exponential random variable has a standard deviation of 16. Calculate The probability that it takes on a value < 11. Use 3

Answer:

$P(X$

And using the cdf we got:

$P(X$

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:

$P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0$

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent the random variable of interest and we know that the distribution is given by:

$X \sim Exp(\lambda)$

We know the variance on this case given by :

$Var(X) = \frac{1}{\lambda^2}$

So then the deviation is given by:

$Sd(X) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}}$

And if we solve for $\lambda$ we got:

$\lambda = (\frac{1}{16})^2 = \frac{1}{256}$

The cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution is given by:

$F(x) = 1- e^{-\lambda x}$

Solution to the problem

And for this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X$

And using the cdf we got:

$P(X$

If Amelia would like to double her money in twelve years, how much interest does she need to earn? 6 percent 12 percent 10 perce

sveticcg [70]

We can assign the value "2x" as the amount of money that Amelia which to achieve in twelve years.
So, his initial money is X.
We can try each percent to test if it could double the amount in 12 years.
x+0.06*12years*x=1.72X
x+0.12*12*x=1.44x
x+0.1*12*x=2.2x
x+0.166*12*x=2.992x

Therefore, the answer is 10 percent.

If y varies directly as x and x=2 when y=−4, find y when x=−6.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Equation: x × -2 = y

Solution: y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x = 2) is (y = -4) then (x = 1) is (y = -2) so if (x = -6) is (y = 12) if we follow the equation [x × -2 = y] which was found using the first set of variables and dividing each by 2.
