Answer:

The answer is D. -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence begins with 9. The sequence is reduced by 2 each step, for seven steps. Results of the seven negative steps:

7 * -2 = -14.

The difference is:

9 - 14 = -5

Suppose that X has an exponential distribution with mean equal to 10. Determine the following: a. P(X > 10) b. P(X > 20) c

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b) The value of P (X > 20) is 0.1353.

(d) The value of x is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of an exponential distribution is:

$f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0, \lambda>0$

The value of E (X) is 10.

The parameter λ is:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{E(X)}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

$P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=e^{-0.10\times10}\\=0.3679$

Thus, the value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X > 20) as follows:

$P(X>20)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=e^{-0.10\times20}\\=0.1353$

Thus, the value of P (X > 20) is 0.1353.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X < 30) as follows:

$P(X$

Thus, the value of P (X < 30) is 0.9502.

(d)

It is given that, P (X < x) = 0.95.

Compute the value of x as follows:

$P(X$

Take natural log on both sides.

$ln(e^{-0.10x})=ln(0.05)\\-0.10x=-2.996\\x=\frac{2.996}{0.10}\\ =29.96\\\approx30$

Thus, the value of x is 30.

3. Triangle JKL is shown below. Which of the following is not a true statement about

alina1380 [7]

Option A is true because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180, so we can rule that one out immediately.

We can solve for x for the other 3 options by setting up this equation:

7x+2 + 4x+7 + 8x = 180 | Simplify

19x + 9 = 180 | Subtract 9

19x = 171 | Divide by 19
x=9

Now we can substitute x into all the values:
<J = 7x+2 = 65
<L = 4x+7 = 43
<K = 8x = 72

Looking at the options again, we can see that A, B, and D are true, leaving C to be false.
