<h2>Answer: slope = - 95</h2><h2> </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gives us two points, (87, 91) and (88, -4), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.

<u>Finding the Slope</u>

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)

= (91 - (- 4)) ÷ (87 - 88)

= - 95

<em><u>Checking my answer:</u></em>

<em>Finding the Equation</em>

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:

⇒ y - (-4) = - 95 (x - 88)

y + 4 = - 95 (x - 88)

stich3 [128]

I'm assuming $\alpha$ is the shape parameter and $\beta$ is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac29xe^{-x^2/9}&\text{for }x\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

a. The expectation is

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^2e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,

$\Gamma(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t}\,\mathrm dt$

For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking

$u=x\implies\mathrm du=\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X]=\displaystyle-xe^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm x$

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ , so that $\mathrm dx=\dfrac32y^{-1/2}\,\mathrm dy$ :

$E[X]=\displaystyle\frac32\int_0^\infty y^{-1/2}e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy$

$\boxed{E[X]=\dfrac32\Gamma\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{3\sqrt\pi}2\approx2.659}$

The variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2-2XE[X]+E[X]^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2$

The second moment is

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^3e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Integrate by parts, taking

$u=x^2\implies\mathrm du=2x\,\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle-x^2e^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

Substitute $x=3y^{1/2}$ again to get

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle9\int_0^\infty e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy=9$

Then the variance is

$\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-E[X]^2$

$\boxed{\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-\dfrac94\pi\approx1.931}$

b. The probability that $X\le3$ is

$P(X\le 3)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^3f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^3xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx$

which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get

$\boxed{P(X\le 3)=\dfrac{e-1}e\approx0.632}$

c. Same procedure as in (b). We have

$P(1\le X\le3)=P(X\le3)-P(X\le1)$

and

$P(X\le1)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^1f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^1xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx=\frac{e^{1/9}-1}{e^{1/9}}$

Then

$\boxed{P(1\le X\le3)=\dfrac{e^{8/9}-1}e\approx0.527}$

During a 20% off sale, the sale price of a bluetooth radio was $33.96. What was the regular price?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

20% of the regular price was off.

So 80% of the regular price stayed on.

$33.96 was that 80% of the regular price.

(0.8) · (regular price) = $33.96

Divide both sides by (0.8).

Regular price = ($33.96) / (0.8)

<em>Regular price = $42.45</em>
