The possible value of the third length is an illustration of Triangle inequality theorem

The possible third lengths are 4 units and 6 units

<h3>How to determine the possible length of the third side?</h3>

To determine the third length, we make use of the following Triangle inequality theorem.

a + b > c

Let the third side be x.

So, we have:

x + 6 > 3

x + 3 > 6

3 + 6 > x

Solve the inequalities

x > -3

x > 3

x < 9

Remove the negative inequality value.

So, we have:

x > 3 or x < 9

Rewrite as:

3 < x or x < 9

Combine the inequality

3 < x < 9

This means that the possible value of the third length is between 3 and 9 (exclusive)

Hence, the possible third lengths are 4 units and 6 units

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The parameters of this exponential distribution is $\lambda$ = $\frac{1}{27}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the random variable X is known to be exponentially distributed and let X be the time it takes for a person to choose a birthday gift, where X has an average value of 27 minutes.

<u><em>So, X = time it takes for a person to choose a birthday gift</em></u>

The probability distribution function of exponential distribution is given by;

$f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} , x >0$ where, $\lambda$ = parameter of distribution.

Now, the mean of exponential distribution is = $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ which is given to us as average value of 27 minutes that means $\lambda = \frac{1}{27}$ .

So, X ~ Exp( $\lambda = \frac{1}{27}$ ) .

Therefore, the parameter of this exponential distribution is $\lambda$ .

murzikaleks [220]

It would take 5 hours because you take 3 and divide that by 1.5 & you get 2 so 5 multiplied by 2 is 10. it would take her 30 minutes per page
