A bus travels on an east-west highway connecting two cities A and B that are 100 miles apart. There are 2 services stations alon

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

51/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with you have to understand what is the distribution of the random variable. If X represents the point where the bus breaks down. That is correct.

X~ Uniform(0,100)

Then the probability mass function is given as follows.

$f(x) = P(X=x) = 1/100 \,\,\,\, \text{if} \,\,\,\, 0 \leq x \leq 100\\f(x) = P(X=x) = 0 \,\,\,\, \text{otherwise}$

Now, imagine that the D represents the distance from the break down point to the nearest station. Think about this, the first service station is 20 meters away from city A, and the second station is located 70 meters away from city A then the mid point between 20 and 70 is (70+20)/2 = 45 then we can represent D as follows

$D(x) =\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} x & \mbox{if } 0\leq x \leq 20 \\ x-20 & \mbox{if } 20\leq x < 45\\ 70-x & \mbox{if } 45 \leq x \leq 70\\ x-70 & \mbox{if } 70 \leq x \leq 100\\ \end{array}\right.$

Now, as we said before X represents the random variable where the bus breaks down, then we form a new random variable $Y = D(X)$ , $Y$ is a random variable as well, remember that there is a theorem that says that

$E[Y] = E[D(X)] = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty} D(x) f(x) \,\, dx$

Where $f(x)$ is the probability mass function of X. Using the information of our problem

$E[Y] = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty} D(x)f(x) dx \\= \frac{1}{100} \bigg[ \int\limits_{0}^{20} x dx +\int\limits_{20}^{45} (x-20) dx +\int\limits_{45}^{70} (70-x) dx +\int\limits_{70}^{100} (x-70) dx \bigg]\\= \frac{51}{4} = 12.75$

A cone-shaped paper cup can hold 35 cubic inches of food. If the radius of the cone is 2.4 inches, what is the height of the con

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\
V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-----\\
r=2.4\\
V=35
\end{cases}\implies 35=\cfrac{\pi (2.4)^2 h}{3}\implies 105=5.76\pi h
\\\\\\
\cfrac{105}{5.76\pi }=h\implies 5.805467091295 \approx h\implies 5.81 \approx h$

I need help with this problem and show your work plz thanks

Well is just their sum, thus

$\bf \cfrac{3}{4}+\cfrac{2}{3}\impliedby \stackrel{LCD~is}{12}\implies \cfrac{(3)3+(4)2}{12}\implies \cfrac{9+8}{12}\implies \cfrac{17}{12}\implies 1\frac{5}{12}$

Need the answer to 2. 3. 7. 8. please help! Really confused on how to do this.

Oduvanchick [21]

2. $\overline{SV}||\overline{TU}$ (this is given in the first sentence)

3. $\angle XSV\cong\angle XUT$ and $\angle XVS\cong\angle XTU$ due to ...

7. ... the alternate interior angles theorem (which holds because $\overline{ST}$ and $\overline{TU}$ are parallel)

8. Because the above establishes that $\Delta SXT\cong\Delta UXV$ , which means $\overline{ST}||\overline{UV}$ , which in turn means $VUTS$ is a parallelogram.
