An exponential random variable has a standard deviation of 16. Calculate The probability that it takes on a value < 11. Use 3
antiseptic1488 [7]

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

The base of a pyramid has n sides. write an expression for the number of corners on the pyramid.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

n+1

If a pyramid has n number of sides

⇒number of vertices in the base = n

Since in a pyramid there is one vertex on the top,and n number of faces are on the sides,and one face is in the base.

Total number of faces of pyramid = n+1

Suppose that the perimeter a rectangle is 54 feet, and the length is 13 feet more than the width. Find the width ractangle, in f
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:7feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter(p)=54ft

Width(w) +13=Length(L)

Perimeter=2xLength+2xwidth

P=2xL+2xw

L=w+13

54=2(w+13)+2w

54=2w+26+2w

Collect like terms

54-26=2w+2w

28=4w

Divide both sides by 4

28/4=4w/4

7=w

Width =7feet

For a certain river, suppose the drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

a) There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

b)There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution is the number of failures expected before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials.

It has the following probability density formula:

f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p

In which p is the probability of a success.

The mean of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

\mu = \frac{1-p}{p}

The standard deviation of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.383

So

\mu = \frac{1-p}{p} = \frac{1-0.383}{0.383} = 1.61

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1-0.383}{(0.383)^{2}}} = 2.05

(a) What is the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals?

This is f(3)

f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p

f(3) = (1-0.383)^{3}*(0.383)

f(3) = 0.09

There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

At most 3 intervals?

This is P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3)

f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p

f(0) = (1-0.383)^{0}*(0.383) = 0.383

f(1) = (1-0.383)^{1}*(0.383) = 0.236

f(2) = (1-0.383)^{2}*(0.383) = 0.146

Previously in this exercise, we found that f(3) = 0.09

So

P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) = 0.383 + 0.236 + 0.146 + 0.09 = 0.855

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

(b) What is the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation?

This is P(X \geq \mu+\sigma) = P(X \geq 1.61 + 2.05) = P(X \geq 3.66) = P(X \geq 4).

We are working with discrete data, so 3.66 is rounded up to 4.

Either a drought lasts at least four months, or it lasts at most thee. In a), we found that the probability that it lasts at most 3 months is 0.855. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. So:

P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1

0.855 + P(X \geq 4) = 1

P(X \geq 4) = 0.145

There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation
