e. Determine x such that P(X < x) = 0.95

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: This function is a probability density function of a random variable X:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{3(8x-x^{2})}{256}[/tex]

and to calculate probabilities, we will have to integrate it:

[tex]P(X<x)=\int\limits^x_0 {\frac{3}{256}(8x-x^{2}) } \, dx[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]P(X<x)=\frac{3}{256}(4x^{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{3} )[/tex]

Then:

a. P(X < 5)

[tex]P(X<5)=\int\limits^5_0 {\frac{3}{256}(8x-x^{2}) } \, dx[/tex]

[tex]P(X<5)=\frac{3}{256}(100-\frac{125}{3} )[/tex]

[tex]P(X<5)=\frac{3}{256}(\frac{300-125}{3} )[/tex]

[tex]P(X<5)=\frac{175}{256}[/tex]

P(X < 5) = 0.683

b. P(X < 9)

Since density function's upper limit is 8, probability of x < 9 is 100% or 1.

So, P(X < 9) = 1

c. P(5 < X < 7)

[tex]P(5<X<7)=\int\limits^7_5 {\frac{3}{256}(8x-x^{2}) } \, dx[/tex]

[tex]P(5<X<7)=\frac{3}{256}[4(7)^{2}-\frac{7^{3}}{3}-4(5)^{2}+\frac{5^{3}}{3}][/tex]

[tex]P(5<X<7)=\frac{3}{256}[96-\frac{218}{3} ][/tex]

[tex]P(5<X<7)=\frac{70}{256}[/tex]

P(5 < X < 7) = 0.273

d. P(X > 3)

[tex]P(X>3)=\int\limits^8_3 {\frac{3}{256}(8x-x^{2}) } \, dx[/tex]

[tex]P(X>3)=\frac{3}{256}[256-\frac{512}{3}-36+9 ][/tex]

[tex]P(X>3)=\frac{3}{256}(229-\frac{512}{3} )[/tex]

[tex]P(X>3)=\frac{175}{256}[/tex]

P (X > 3) = 0.683

e. P(X < x) = 0.95

[tex]0.95=\int\limits^x_0 {\frac{3}{256}(8x-x^{2}) } \, dx[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{256}[\frac{12x^{2}-x^{3}}{3} ] =0.95[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12x^{2}-x^{3}}{256}=0.95[/tex]

[tex]12x^{2}-x^{3}=243.2[/tex]

[tex]-x^{3}+12x^{2}-243.2=0[/tex]

Solving this cubic equation, we have three values for x:

x₁ = -3.909

x₂ = 8.992

x₃ = 6.917

The value of x will the one between 0 and 8, which are the limits of the function. So, value of x which gives a probability of 0.95 is x = 6.917.

A study showed that 25% of the students drive themselves to school. Based on the suggested probability, in a class of 18 students, what would be the probability that at least 6 students drive themselves to school? (CDF)

A) 0.139
B) 0.283
C) 0.717
D) 0.861

Answers

Answer:

B) 0.283

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

25% of the students drive themselves to school.

This means that [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]

Class of 18 students

This means that [tex]n = 18[/tex]

What would be the probability that at least 6 students drive themselves to school?

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{18} = 0.006[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{15,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{17} = 0.034[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{15,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{16} = 0.096[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{15,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{15} = 0.17[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{15,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{14} = 0.213[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{13} = 0.199[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.006 + 0.034 + 0.096 + 0.17 + 0.213 + 0.199 = 0.718[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.718 = 0.282[/tex]

PLEASE HELP I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!! According to the Census Bureau, in 2014 California had an estimated population of 3.88 × 107 and Wyoming had a population of 5.84 × 105. Complete the following sentences.

3.8216 × 107 0.38216 × 107 3.8216 × 106 38.216 × 107 0.66 × 101

66.4 × 101 6.64 × 101

The population of California is __________ more than the population of Wyoming
Alternatively, the population of California is _________ times the population of Wyoming.

Answers

Answer:

The population of California is [tex]3.3216 * 10^{7}[/tex] more than the population of Wyoming.

Alternatively, the population of California is [tex]6.64 * 10^{1}[/tex] times the population of Wyoming.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part is to take the numbers out of the scientific notation. The estimated population of California is 38,800,000, and the population of Wyoming is 584,000.

Not that we've done that, let's start with the first part of the problem.

"The population of California is __________ more than the population of Wyoming."

This is a statement of subtraction, because it's not asking how many TIMES more. So, we subtract Wyoming's population from California's population.

[tex]38,800,000 - 584,000 = 38,216,000.[/tex]

Putting that number into scientific notation is easy: move the decimal to the place in the number where there will only be one number in front of the decimal: 3.3216. How many number slots until you have only one number in front of the decimal? 7. So, we know that the power of 10 is going to be 7. So, the first part of the question answers to:

[tex]3.8216 * 10^{7} .[/tex]

Now for the second part.

"Alternatively, the population of California is _________ times the population of Wyoming."

This is a problem of division. The question is asking us to divide California's population by Wyoming's population.

[tex]\frac{38,800,000}{584,000} = 0.664383562 * 10^{2} .[/tex]

We need to have one number in front of the decimal point, so we move it behind the first 6, giving us 6.64. Because we did this, we need to bump the exponent from 2 to 1, leaving us with:

[tex]6.64 * 10^{1}.[/tex]

So, the answer to the question is:

1. [tex]3.8216 * 10^{7}.[/tex]

2. [tex]6.64 * 10^{1}.[/tex]

Hope this helped you, and I hope you get a perfect score!! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Find [tex]a_4[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = -3a_{4-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = -3a_3[/tex]

We calculate for a3

[tex]a_3 = -3a_{3-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = -3a_2[/tex]

Calculate for a2

[tex]a_2 = -3a_{2-1[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = -3a_1[/tex]

Substitute 4 for a1

[tex]a_2 = -3*4[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = -12[/tex]

Substitute -12 for a2 in [tex]a_3 = -3a_2[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = -3 * -12[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 36[/tex]

Substitute 36 for a3 in [tex]a_4 = -3a_3[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = -3*36[/tex]

Diana and Michael, who are taking different classes, are arguing about who did better on their most recent test. Diana received a score of 92 on her History test and Michael received a 688 on his Math test. The mean test score for the History class is 71 with a standard deviation of 15.The mean test score for the Math class is 493 standard deviation of 150. Who did better, relative to other students in the same class? Justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Diana's score is better.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Diana case :

Score = 92

Mean score , μ = 71

Standard deviation σ = 15

So,

P( x ≥ 92 ) = 1 - P( x ≤ 92 )

                = 1 - P(z ≤ [tex]\frac{x - u}{\sigma}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ [tex]\frac{92 - 71 }{15}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ 1.4 )

                = 1 - 0.9192

                = 0.0808 = 8.08 %

⇒P( x ≥ 92 ) = 8.08%

∴ we get

Diana score is > 91.92% other students in the class.

In Micheal case :

Score = 688

Mean score , μ = 493

Standard deviation σ = 150

So,

P( x ≥ 688 ) = 1 - P( x ≤ 688 )

                = 1 - P(z ≤ [tex]\frac{x - u}{\sigma}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ [tex]\frac{688 - 493 }{150}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ 1.3 )

                = 1 - 0.9032

                = 0.0968 = 9.68 %

⇒P( x ≥ 688 ) = 9.68%

∴ we get

Micheal score is > 90.32% other students in the class.

From both scores , we can conclude that

Diana's score is better.

Answers

Given:

Base area of cone =20 m²

Volume of the cone = 160 m³

To find:

The height of the cone.

Solution:

We know that, the volume of a cone is

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}Bh[/tex]

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the cone.

Putting V=160 and B=20, we get

[tex]160=\dfrac{1}{3}(20)h[/tex]

[tex]480=20h[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{480}{20}=h[/tex]

[tex]24=h[/tex]

Therefore, the height of the cone is 24 m.
