Well the accretion disk around a neutron star is much hotter and emits higher energy radiation

Should you be worried if a n eighteen wheeler truck is riding close behind your car? Explain why or why not. Please help me D:

For some reasons, no. If the driver looks focused and has experience, then it would be okay. Again, it could be dangerous if you bump into the truck, it would cause damage to you and your passengers.

Mostly, I would agree with 'No'. :)

g (12 points) The time between incoming phone calls at a call center is a random variable with exponential density p(x) = 1 r e

Answer:

$(1)p(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x) dx=0$

Explanation:

A function f(x) is a Probability Density Function if it satisfies the following conditions:

$(1)f(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0$

Given the function:

$p(x)=\dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r} \: on\: [0,\infty), where\:r=\dfrac{20}{ln(2)}$

(1)p(x) is greater than zero since the range of exponents of the Euler's number will lie in $[0,\infty).$

(2)

$\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r}\\=\dfrac{1}{r} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x/r}\\=-\dfrac{r}{r}\left[e^{-x/r}\right]_{0}^{\infty}\\=-\left[e^{-\infty/r}-e^{-0/r}\right]\\=-e^{-\infty}+e^{-0}\\SInce \: e^{-\infty} \rightarrow 0\\e^{-0}=1\\\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=1$
