I answered this one for you already I think.
Suppose that we want to generate the outcome of the flip of a fair coin, but that all we have at our disposal is a biased coin which lands on heads with some unknown probability p that need not be equal to1/2. Consider the following procedure for accomplishing our task:
1. Flip the coin.
2. Flip the coin again.
3. If both flips land on heads or both land on tails, return to step 1. 4. Let the result of the last flip be the result of the experiment.
(a) Show that the result is equally likely to be either heads or tails.
(b) Could we use a simpler procedure that continues to flip the coin until the last two flips are different and then lets the result be the outcome of the final flip?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
the following procedure for accomplishing our task are:
1. Flip the coin.
2. Flip the coin again.
From here will know that the coin is first flipped twice
3. If both flips land on heads or both land on tails, it implies that we return to step 1 to start again. this makes the flip to be insignificant since both flips land on heads or both land on tails
But if the outcomes of the two flip are different i.e they did not land on both heads or both did not land on tails , then we will consider such an outcome.
Let the probability of head = p
so P(head) = p
the probability of tail be = (1 - p)
This kind of probability follows a conditional distribution and the probability of getting heads is :
[tex]P( \{Tails, Heads\})|\{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\})[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{P( \{Tails, Heads\}) \cap \{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\})}{ {P( \{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\}}}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{P( \{Tails, Heads\}) }{ {P( \{Tails, Heads,( Heads ,Tails)\}}}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{P( \{Tails, Heads\}) } { {P( Tails, Heads) +P( Heads ,Tails)}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{(1-p)*p}{(1-p)*p+p*(1-p)}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{(1-p)*p}{2(1-p)*p}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Thus; the probability of getting heads is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] which typically implies that the coin is fair
(b) Could we use a simpler procedure that continues to flip the coin until the last two flips are different and then lets the result be the outcome of the final flip?
For a fair coin (0<p<1) , it's certain that both heads and tails at the end of the flip.
The procedure that is talked about in (b) illustrates that the procedure gives head if and only if the first flip comes out tail with probability 1 - p.
Likewise , the procedure gives tail if and and only if the first flip comes out head with probability of p.
In essence, NO, procedure (b) does not give a fair coin flip outcome.
A nationwide survey of seniors by the University of Michigan reveals that almost 18.0% disapprove of daily pot smoking. If 8 seniors are selected at random, what is the probability that at least 2 disapprove of daily pot smoking.
Answer:
[tex] P(X\geq 2)=1- P(X<2)= 1-[P(X=0) +P(X=1)][/tex]
And using the probability mass function we can find the individual probabilities:
[tex]P(X=0)=(8C0)(0.18)^0 (1-0.18)^{8-0}=0.2044[/tex]
[tex]P(X=1)=(8C1)(0.18)^1 (1-0.18)^{0-1}=0.3590[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] P(X\geq 2)=1 -[0.2044 +0.3590]= 0.4366[/tex]
Then the probability that at least 2 disapprove of daily pot smoking is 0.4366
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable of interest "number of seniors who disapprove of daily smoking ", on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.18)[/tex]
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
And we want to find this probability:
[tex] P(X\geq 2)=1- P(X<2)= 1-[P(X=0) +P(X=1)][/tex]
And using the probability mass function we can find the individual probabilities:
[tex]P(X=0)=(8C0)(0.18)^0 (1-0.18)^{8-0}=0.2044[/tex]
[tex]P(X=1)=(8C1)(0.18)^1 (1-0.18)^{0-1}=0.3590[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] P(X\geq 2)=1 -[0.2044 +0.3590]= 0.4366[/tex]
Then the probability that at least 2 disapprove of daily pot smoking is 0.4366
A researcher used the technique with 9 students and observed that they had a mean of 10.8 hours with a standard deviation of 1.5. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
[tex]t=\frac{10.8-11}{\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}}=-0.4[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=9-1=8[/tex]
And the p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(8)}<-0.4)=0.350[/tex]
Since the p value is higher than the the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from the traditional methods.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this first part of the problem obtained from the web: "Using traditional methods, it takes 11.0 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed"
Information given
[tex]\bar X=10.8[/tex] represent the mean height for the sample
[tex]s=1.5[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation
[tex]n=9[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =11[/tex] represent the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to check if the true mean for this case is equal to 11 or not, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu = 11[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu \neq 11[/tex]
The statistic would be given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info given we got:
[tex]t=\frac{10.8-11}{\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}}=-0.4[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are given by:
[tex]df=n-1=9-1=8[/tex]
And the p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{(8)}<-0.4)=0.350[/tex]
Since the p value is higher than the the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from the traditional methods.

Answer:
X is 3 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of prism is cross sectional area multiplied by length. So 1/2 ×2× x ×2 into 3x, which is equal to 6x^2. So, 6x^2=54. Therefore, x=3.
The percent defective for parts produced by a manufacturing process is targeted at 4%. The process is monitored daily by taking samples of sizes n = 160 units. Suppose that today’s sample contains 14 defectives. Determine a 88% confidence interval for the proportion defective for the process today. Place your LOWER limit, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the first blank. For example, 0.123 would be a legitimate answer. Place your UPPER limit, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the second blank. For example, 0.345 would be a legitimate entry.
Answer:
The 88% confidence interval for the proportion of defectives today is (0.053, 0.123)
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
For this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 160, \pi = \frac{14}{160} = 0.088[/tex]
88% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.12[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.12}{2} = 0.94[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.555[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.088 - 1.555\sqrt{\frac{0.088*0.912}{160}} = 0.053[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.088 + 1.555\sqrt{\frac{0.088*0.912}{160}} = 0.123[/tex]
The 88% confidence interval for the proportion of defectives today is (0.053, 0.123)
An individual who has automobile insurance from a certain company is randomly selected. Let Y be the number of moving violations for which the individual was cited during the last 3 years. The pmf of Y is the following.
y 0 1 2 3
p(y) 0.50 0.25 0.20 0.05
A) Compute E(Y).
B) Suppose an individual with Y violations incurs a surcharge of $110Y2. Calculate the expected amount of the surcharg.
Answer:
A. The E(Y) is 0.80
B. The expected amount of the surcharges is $165
Step-by-step explanation:
A. In order to calculate the E(Y), we would have to calculate the following formula:
E(Y)=∑yp(y)
E(Y)=(0*0.5)+(1*0.25)+(2*0.20)+(3*0.05)
E(Y)=0+0.25+0.40+0.15
E(Y)=0.80
B. In order to calculate the expected amount of the surcharges we would have to calculate the following formula:
E($110Y∧2)=110E(Y∧2)
=110∑y∧2p(y)
=110((0∧2*0.5)+(1∧2*0.25)+(2∧2*0.20)+(3∧2*0.05))
110(0+0.25+0.80+0.45)
=$165
Suppose the proportion X of surface area in a randomly selected quadrat that is covered by a certain plant has a standard beta distribution with α = 4 and β = 3.(a) Compute E(X) and V(X). (Round your answers to four decimal places.)E(X) = Correct: Your answer is correct.V(X) = Correct: Your answer is correct.(b) Compute P(X ≤ 0.5). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) The value of E (X) is 4/7.
The value of V (X) is 3/98.
(b) The value of P (X ≤ 0.5) is 0.3438.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable X is defined as the proportion of surface area in a randomly selected quadrant that is covered by a certain plant.
The random variable X follows a standard beta distribution with parameters α = 4 and β = 3.
The probability density function of X is as follows:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{\alpha-1}(1-x)^{\beta-1}}{B(\alpha,\beta)} ; \hspace{.3in}0 \le x \le 1;\ \alpha, \beta > 0[/tex]
Here, B (α, β) is:
[tex]B(\alpha,\beta)=\frac{(\alpha-1)!\cdot\ (\beta-1)!}{((\alpha+\beta)-1)!}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{(4-1)!\cdot\ (3-1)!}{((4+3)-1)!}\\\\=\frac{6\times 2}{720}\\\\=\frac{1}{60}[/tex]
So, the pdf of X is:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{4-1}(1-x)^{3-1}}{1/60}=60\cdot\ [x^{3}(1-x)^{2}];\ 0\leq x\leq 1[/tex]
(a)
Compute the value of E (X) as follows:
[tex]E (X)=\frac{\alpha }{\alpha +\beta }[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4}{4+3}\\\\=\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
The value of E (X) is 4/7.
Compute the value of V (X) as follows:
[tex]V (X)=\frac{\alpha\ \cdot\ \beta}{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}\ \cdot\ (\alpha+\beta+1)}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4\cdot\ 3}{(4+3)^{2}\cdot\ (4+3+1)}\\\\=\frac{12}{49\times 8}\\\\=\frac{3}{98}[/tex]
The value of V (X) is 3/98.
(b)
Compute the value of P (X ≤ 0.5) as follows:
[tex]P(X\leq 0.50) = \int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{60\cdot\ [x^{3}(1-x)^{2}]} \, dx[/tex]
[tex]=60\int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{[x^{3}(1+x^{2}-2x)]} \, dx \\\\=60\int\limits^{0.50}_{0}{[x^{3}+x^{5}-2x^{4}]} \, dx \\\\=60\times [\dfrac{x^4}{4}+\dfrac{x^6}{6}-\dfrac{2x^5}{5}]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=60\times [\dfrac{x^4\left(10x^2-24x+15\right)}{60}]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=[x^4\left(10x^2-24x+15\right)]\limits^{0.50}_{0}\\\\=0.34375\\\\\approx 0.3438[/tex]
Thus, the value of P (X ≤ 0.5) is 0.3438.
It is known that the number of hours a student sleeps per night has a normal distribution. The sleeping time in hours of a random sample of 8 students is given below. See Attached Excel for Data. Compute a 98% confidence interval for the true mean time a student sleeps per night and fill in the blanks appropriately. We have 98 % confidence that the true mean time a student sleeps per night is between and hours. (round to 3 decimal places)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
It is known that the number of hours a student sleeps per night has a normal distribution. The sleeping time in hours of a random sample of 8 students is given below. 7.4, 6.2, 8.5, 6.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.3, 8.3 Compute a 98% confidence interval for the true mean time a student sleeps per night and fill in the blanks appropriately. We have 98% confidence that the true mean time a student sleeps per night is between _____ and ____ hours. (Keep 3 decimal places)
Solution:
Mean = (7.4 + 6.2 + 8.5 + 6.3 + 5.4 + 5.5 + 6.3 + 8.3)/8 = 6.7375
Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n
Summation(x - mean)² = (7.4 - 6.7375)^2 + (6.2 - 6.7375)^2 + (8.5 - 6.7375)^2 + (6.3 - 6.7375)^2 + (5.4 - 6.7375)^2 + (5.5 - 6.7375)^2 + (6.3 - 6.7375)^2 + (8.3 - 6.7375)^2 = 9.97875
Standard deviation = √(9.97875/8
s = 1.12
Confidence interval is written in the form,
(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)
The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.
Margin of error = z × s/√n
Where
sample standard deviation
number of samples
From the information given, the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is small, hence, we would use the t distribution to find the z score
In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.
df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7
Since confidence level = 98% = 0.98, α = 1 - CL = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
α/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01
the area to the right of z0.01 is 0.01 and the area to the left of z0.01 is 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
Looking at the t distribution table,
z = 2.998
Margin of error = 2.998 × 1.12/√8
= 1.19
the lower limit of this confidence interval is
6.738 - 1.19 = 5.548
the upper limit of this confidence interval is
6.738 + 1.19 = 7.928
We have 98 % confidence that the true mean time a student sleeps per night is between 5.548 hours and 7.928 hours.
A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 409 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 42 bag sample had a mean of 404 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 24. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Find the P-value of the test statistic. You may write the P-value as a range using interval notation, or as a decimal value rounded to four decimal places.
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{404-409}{\frac{24}{\sqrt{42}}}=-1.35[/tex]
The p value for this case is given by:
[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.35)=0.0885[/tex]
For this case the p value is higher than the significance level given so we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is significantly less than 409
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
[tex]\bar X=404[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\sigma=24[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
[tex]n=42[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =409[/tex] represent the value to verify
[tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex] represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to verify if the true mean is less than 409, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 409[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 409[/tex]
The statistic for this case is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]z=\frac{404-409}{\frac{24}{\sqrt{42}}}=-1.35[/tex]
The p value for this case is given by:
[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.35)=0.0885[/tex]
For this case the p value is higher than the significance level given so we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is significantly less than 409

No, the vertices of the image and pre-image do not correspond, Micaela tried to rotate the square 180° about the origin. Hence, option C is correct.
What is rotation about the origin?A figure can be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise by rotating each vertex of the figure 90 degrees clockwise about the origin.
Let's take the vertices of a square with points at (+1,+1), (-1,+1), (-1,-1), and (+1,-1), centered at the origin, can be found in the following positions after rotation:
The vertex (+1,+1) would be rotated to the point (-1,-1).The vertex (-1,+1) would be rotated to the point (+1,-1).The vertex (-1,-1) would be rotated to the point (+1,+1).The vertex (+1,-1) would be rotated to the point (-1,+1).Micaela's rotation must be accurate if it led to the same points. Her rotation is incorrect if the points are different, though.
It is impossible to tell if Micaela's rotation is accurate without more details or a diagram.
Thus, option C is correct.

You are given an n×n board, where n is an even integer and 2≤n≤30. For how many such boards is it possible to cover the board with T-shaped tiles like the one shown? Each cell of the shape is congruent to one cell on the board.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of cells in a tile is 4. If colored alternately, there are 3 of one color and 1 of the alternate color. To balance the coloring, an even number of tiles is needed. Hence the board dimensions must be multiples of 4.
In the given range, there are 7 such boards:

Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 50, \sigma = 4[/tex]
a) x>43
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 43. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{43 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.75[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.75[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0401
1 - 0.0401 = 0.9599
P(x > 43) = 0.9599
b) x<42
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 42.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{42 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228
P(x < 42) = 0.0228
c) x>57.5
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 57.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{57.5 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.88[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.88[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.97
1 - 0.97 = 0.03
P(x > 57.5) = 0.03
d) P(x = 42)
In the normal distribution, the probability of an exact value is 0. So
P(x = 42) = 0.
e) x<40 or x>55
x < 40 is the pvalue of Z when X = 40. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{40 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0062
x > 55 is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 55. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{55 - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8944
1 - 0.8944 = 0.1056
0.0062 + 0.1056 = 0.1118
P(x<40 or x>55) = 0.1118
f) 5% of the values are less than what X value?
X is the 5th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = -1.645*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 43.42[/tex]
43.42 is the answer.
g) 60% of the values are between what two X values (symmetrically distributed around the mean)?
Between the 50 - (60/2) = 20th percentile and the 50 + (60/2) = 80th percentile.
20th percentile:
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.2. So X when Z = -0.84.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-0.84 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = -0.84*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 46.64[/tex]
80th percentile:
X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]0.84 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = 0.84*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 53.36[/tex]
Between 46.64 and 53.36.
h) 85% of the values will be above what X value?
Above the 100 - 85 = 15th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.15. So X when Z = -1.037.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.037 = \frac{X - 50}{4}[/tex]
[tex]X - 50 = -1.037*4[/tex]
[tex]X = 45.852[/tex]
Above 45.852.

A financial advisor is analyzing a family's estate plan. The amount of money that the family has invested in different real estate properties is normally distributed with a mean of $225,000 and a standard deviation of $50,000. Use a calculator to find how much money separates the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings.
Answer:
The amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the amount of money that the family has invested in different real estate properties.
The random variable X follows a Normal distribution with parameters μ = $225,000 and σ = $50,000.
It is provided that the family has invested in n = 10 different real estate properties.
Then the mean and standard deviation of amount of money that the family has invested in these 10 different real estate properties is:
[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=\$225,000\\\\\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{50000}{\sqrt{10}}=15811.39[/tex]
Now the lowest 80% of the amount invested can be represented as follows:
[tex]P(\bar X<\bar x)=0.80\\\\\Rightarrow P(Z<z)=0.80[/tex]
The value of z is 0.84.
*Use a z-table.
Compute the value of the mean amount invested as follows:
[tex]\bar x=\mu_{\bar x}+z\cdot \sigma_{\bar x}[/tex]
[tex]=225000+(0.84\times 15811.39)\\\\=225000+13281.5676\\\\=238281.5676\\\\\approx 238281.57[/tex]
Thus, the amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.

Consider the equation below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x4 ln(x) (a) Find the interval on which f is increasing. (Enter your answer using interval notation.) Find the interval on which f is decreasing. (Enter your answer using interval notation.) (b) Find the local minimum and maximum values of f. local minimum value local maximum value (c) Find the inflection point. (x, y) = Find the interval on which f is concave up. (Enter your answer using interval notation.) Find the interval on which f is concave down. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
Answer: (a) Interval where f is increasing: (0.78,+∞);
Interval where f is decreasing: (0,0.78);
(b) Local minimum: (0.78, - 0.09)
(c) Inflection point: (0.56,-0.06)
Interval concave up: (0.56,+∞)
Interval concave down: (0,0.56)
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) To determine the interval where function f is increasing or decreasing, first derive the function:
f'(x) = [tex]\frac{d}{dx}[/tex][[tex]x^{4}ln(x)[/tex]]
Using the product rule of derivative, which is: [u(x).v(x)]' = u'(x)v(x) + u(x).v'(x),
you have:
f'(x) = [tex]4x^{3}ln(x) + x_{4}.\frac{1}{x}[/tex]
f'(x) = [tex]4x^{3}ln(x) + x^{3}[/tex]
f'(x) = [tex]x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1][/tex]
Now, find the critical points: f'(x) = 0
[tex]x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1][/tex] = 0
[tex]x^{3} = 0[/tex]
x = 0
and
[tex]4ln(x) + 1 = 0[/tex]
[tex]ln(x) = \frac{-1}{4}[/tex]
x = [tex]e^{\frac{-1}{4} }[/tex]
x = 0.78
To determine the interval where f(x) is positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing), evaluate the function at each interval:
interval x-value f'(x) result
0<x<0.78 0.5 f'(0.5) = -0.22 decreasing
x>0.78 1 f'(1) = 1 increasing
With the table, it can be concluded that in the interval (0,0.78) the function is decreasing while in the interval (0.78, +∞), f is increasing.
Note: As it is a natural logarithm function, there are no negative x-values.
(b) A extremum point (maximum or minimum) is found where f is defined and f' changes signs. In this case:
Between 0 and 0.78, the function decreases and at point and it is defined at point 0.78;After 0.78, it increase (has a change of sign) and f is also defined;Then, x=0.78 is a point of minimum and its y-value is:
f(x) = [tex]x^{4}ln(x)[/tex]
f(0.78) = [tex]0.78^{4}ln(0.78)[/tex]
f(0.78) = - 0.092
The point of minimum is (0.78, - 0.092)
(c) To determine the inflection point (IP), calculate the second derivative of the function and solve for x:
f"(x) = [tex]\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}}[/tex] [[tex]x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1][/tex]]
f"(x) = [tex]3x^{2}[4ln(x) + 1] + 4x^{2}[/tex]
f"(x) = [tex]x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7][/tex]
[tex]x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7][/tex] = 0
[tex]x^{2} = 0\\x = 0[/tex]
and
[tex]12ln(x) + 7 = 0\\ln(x) = \frac{-7}{12} \\x = e^{\frac{-7}{12} }\\x = 0.56[/tex]
Substituing x in the function:
f(x) = [tex]x^{4}ln(x)[/tex]
f(0.56) = [tex]0.56^{4} ln(0.56)[/tex]
f(0.56) = - 0.06
The inflection point will be: (0.56, - 0.06)
In a function, the concave is down when f"(x) < 0 and up when f"(x) > 0, adn knowing that the critical points for that derivative are 0 and 0.56:
f"(x) = [tex]x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7][/tex]
f"(0.1) = [tex]0.1^{2}[12ln(0.1)+7][/tex]
f"(0.1) = - 0.21, i.e. Concave is DOWN.
f"(0.7) = [tex]0.7^{2}[12ln(0.7)+7][/tex]
f"(0.7) = + 1.33, i.e. Concave is UP.
