Answer:

88 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the shortest piece has length 2x, so the medium piece has length 5x and the longest piece has length 8x. Added together, they equal 165, so

2x + 5x + 8x = 165

15x = 165

divide both sides by 15 to isolate x

x = 11

8x = longest piece = 88 ft

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The model N (t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a Poisson process. So, the N (t) has distribution of Poison distribution with parameter (\lambda t)

a)

The mean for a month is, \lambda = \frac{1}{3} per month

E[N(t)]= \lambda t\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(24)\\\\=8

(Here. t = 24)

For Poisson process mean and variance are same,

Var[N (t)]= Var[N(24)]\\= E [N (24)]\\=8

 

(Poisson distribution mean and variance equal)

 

The standard deviation of the number of planets is,

\sigma( 24 )] =\sqrt{Var[ N(24)]}=\sqrt{8}= 2.828

b)

For the Poisson process the intervals between events(finding a new planet) have  independent  exponential  distribution with parameter \lambda. The  sum  of K of these  independent exponential has distribution Gamma (K, \lambda).

From the given information, k = 6 and \lambda =\frac{1}{3}

Calculate the expected value.

E(x)=\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\\\\=\frac{K}{\lambda}\\\\=\frac{6}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\=18

(Here, \alpha =k and \beta=\lambda)                                                                      

C)

Calculate the probability that she will become eligible for the prize within one year.

Here, 1 year is equal to 12 months.

P(X ≤ 12) = (1/Г  (k)λ^k)(x)^(k-1).(e)^(-x/λ)

=\frac{1}{Г  (6)(\frac{1}{3})^6}(12)^{6-1}e^{-36}\\\\=0.2148696\\=0.2419\\=21.49%

Hence, the required probability is 0.2149 or 21.49%

Suppose that Y1,....Yn are i.i.d random variables with a N (μγ, σ^2y) distribution. How would the probability density of Y chang
klemol [59]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sample size n increases, the sample mean (μy) becomes a more accurate estimate of the parametric mean, so the standard error of the mean becomes smaller. Therefore, the variance of y decreases and the distribution of y becomes highly concentrated around μy.

what is the total weight of the italian Sandwhich?write the amount as a fraction in simplest form,meat:0.35,vegie:0.15,sauce:0.0
Olegator [25]
The total weight of the Italian sandwich in its simplest fraction is 3/5.

meat      : 0.35  in fraction 35/100
veggies : 0.15 in fraction 15/100
sauce    : 0.05 in fraction 5/100
bread     : 0.05 in fraction 5/100

Total weight = 35/100 + 15/100 + 5/100 + 5/100
                    = (35 + 15 + 5 + 5) / 100
                    = 60/100

To simplify the fraction:

60/100 ⇒ 60 ÷ 10 = 6 ; 100 ÷ 10 = 10 ⇒ 6/10
6/10 ⇒ 6 ÷ 2 = 3 ; 10 ÷ 2 = 5 ⇒ 3/5
