The lifetime in months of a transistor in a certain application is random with probability density function:


f(x) = {0.4e^-0.4x, x>0 0, x<0


a. Compute the mean lifetime.

b. Compute the standard deviation of the lifetimes.

c. Compute the cumulative distribution function of the lifetime.

d. Compute the probability that the lifetime will be less than 6 months.

e. Compute the 60^th percentile of the lifetime.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of lifetime in months of a transistor in a certain application is:

[tex]f(x)=0.4\cdot e^{-0.4x};x>0[/tex]

The probability density function suggests that the random variable X follows a exponential function with parameter λ = 0.4.

(a)

Compute the mean lifetime as follows:

[tex]\mu=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{0.40}=2.5[/tex]

Thus, the mean lifetime is 2.5 months.

(b)

Compute the standard deviation of the lifetimes as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\lambda^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{0.40^{2}}}=2.5[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of the lifetimes is 2.5 months.

(c)

The cumulative distribution function of the lifetime is:

[tex]CDF=1-e^{-0.40x}[/tex]

(d)

Compute the probability that the lifetime will be less than 6 months as follows:

[tex]P(X<6)=\int\limits^{6}_{0} {0.40\cdot e^{-0.40x}} \, dx[/tex]

               [tex]=0.40\times [\frac{e^{-0.40x}}{-0.40}]^{6}_{0}\\\\=-1\times [e^{-0.40\times6}-e^{-0.40\times0}]\\\\=-0.090718+1\\\\=0.909282\\\\\approx 0.9093[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the lifetime will be less than 6 months is 0.9093.

(e)

Compute the 60th percentile of the lifetime as follows:

[tex]P(X<x)=0.60\\\\\int\limits^{x}_{0} {0.40\cdot e^{-0.40x}} \, dx=0.60\\\\0.40\times [\frac{e^{-0.40x}}{-0.40}]^{x}_{0}=0.60\\\\-1\times [e^{-0.40\times x}-e^{-0.40\times0}]=0.60\\\\1-e^{-0.40x}=0.60\\\\e^{-0.40x}=0.40\\\\-0.40x=\ln(0.40)\\\\-0.40x=-0.916291\\\\x=2.2907275\\\\x\approx 2.3[/tex]

Thus, the 60th percentile of the lifetime is 2.3 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x=95 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the angles in a triangle add up to 180, so 45+50+(180-x)=180.

Open the parenthesis, and you get 45+50+180-x=180.

Then subtract 180 from both sides, so 45+50-x=0.

Simplify that to 95-x=0, and add x to both sides.

x=95

Also, you can use exterior angles theorem, which states that 45+50=x.

That's the shorter way.

B
4x3 -- 5x2 - x
C
-4x3 + x2 + 6x
2x3 + 4x2 -- 5x

Answers

Answer:

A- 8x^3 + 12x^2 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbol ^ with a 2 is squared and ^ with 3 means cubed.

1. Add a 1 before the parenthesis on both sides. Now, the equation should look like 1(5x^2 + 6x^3 + 2x) -1(3x - 2x^3 - 7x^2).

2. Now we should distribute. 1 × 5x^2 + 1 × 6x^3 + 1 × 2x -1 × 3x + -1 × -2x^3 + -1 × -7x^2.

3. Now the equation should be simplified.

1 × 5x^2 = 5x^2

1 × 6x^3 = 6x^3

1 × 2x = 2x

-1 × 3x = -3x

-1 × -2x^3 + -1 = 2x^3 -1. In this equation, there is a +- sign together, which is the same as a - sign.

-1 × -7x^2 = 7x^2

4. The new equation is 5x^2 + 6x^3 + 2x - 3x + 2x^3 - 1 + 7x^2

5. Now you can combine the like terms. 5x^2 and 7x^2 can be added, so 5x^2 + 7x^2 is equal to 12x^2. Also, 6x^3 and 2x^3 can be added, so 6x^3 + 2x^3 is equal to 8x^3. Lastly, 2x and -3x can be combined, so 2x - 3x is equal to -1x or -x.

6. So, the simplified equation is 12x^2 + 8x^3 -x. You can also write it as 8x^3 + 12x^2 - x. So, A is the answer.

QUESTION 1.

Choice C is correct. Subtracting 6 from each side of 5x + 6 = 10 yields 5x = 4.

Dividing both sides of 5x = 4 by 5 yields x =

_4

5

. Te value of x can now be

substituted into the expression 10x + 3, giving 10 ( _4

5 ) + 3 = 11.

Alternatively, the expression 10x + 3 can be rewritten as 2(5x + 6) − 9, and

10 can be substituted for 5x + 6, giving 2(10) − 9 = 11.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Each of these choices leads to 5x + 6 ≠ 10,

contradicting the given equation, 5x + 6 = 10. For example, choice A is

incorrect because if the value of 10x + 3 were 4, then it would follow that

x = 0.1, and the value of 5x + 6 would be 6.5, not 10.

QUESTION 2.

Choice B is correct. Multiplying each side of x + y = 0 by 2 gives 2x + 2y = 0.

Ten, adding the corresponding sides of 2x + 2y = 0 and 3x − 2y = 10 gives

5x = 10. Dividing each side of 5x = 10 by 5 gives x = 2. Finally, substituting

2 for x in x + y = 0 gives 2 + y = 0, or y = −2. Terefore, the solution to the

given system of equations is (2, −2).

Alternatively, the equation x + y = 0 can be rewritten as x = −y, and substituting x for −y in 3x − 2y = 10 gives 5x = 10, or x = 2. Te value of y can then

be found in the same way as before.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because when the given values of x and

y are substituted into x + y = 0 and 3x − 2y = 10, either one or both of the

equations are not true. Tese answers may result from sign errors or other

computational errors.

QUESTION 3.

Choice A is correct. Te price of the job, in dollars, is calculated using

the expression 60 + 12nh, where 60 is a fxed price and 12nh depends on the

number of landscapers, n, working the job and the number of hours, h, the job

takes those n landscapers. Since nh is the total number of hours of work done

when n landscapers work h hours, the cost of the job increases by $12 for each

hour a landscaper works. Terefore, of the choices given, the best interpretation

of the number 12 is that the company charges $12 per hour for each landscaper.

Choice B is incorrect because the number of landscapers that will work each

job is represented by n in the equation, not by the number 12. Choice C is

incorrect because the price of the job increases by 12n dollars each hour,

which will not be equal to 12 dollars unless n = 1. Choice D is incorrect

because the total number of hours each landscaper works is equal to h. Te

number of hours each landscaper works in a day is not provided.

An electronics company is changing its internet advertising from a banner advertisement to a pop-up advertisement. The cost of the banner advertisement in dollars is represented by the function C(n) = 0.30n + 5.00 where 'n' is the average number of hits per hour and $5.00 is just a flat-rate cost.


1.) The cost of the pop-up advertisement will double the cost per hit. The equation for this new cost function will be D(n) =


2.) This change does/does not shift the function vertically and/or horizontally.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost function of banner advertisement:

C(n) = 0.30n + 5.00

n = average number of hits per hour

5 = flat rate

From the function, C(n), the cost per hit is the slope value of the function ; which is 0.30

1.) If the cost of pop-up advert will double the cost per hit, the cost function for pop-up advert will be :

D(n) = 2(0.30n) + 5

D(n) = 0.60n + 5.00

B.) This change in cost per hit has resulted in change in slope which is defined as :

[Rise / run = vertical change / horizontal change].

Hence, both vertical and horizontal change has occurred.

Answers

Answer:

The strands change color at the same time again after 90 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told:

Strand 1: changes between red and blue every 15 seconds.

Strand 2: changes between green and gold every 18 seconds.

To solve for this question, we use the LCM method.

Step 1

List multiples of each number until the first common multiple is found.

Multiples of 15:

15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120

Multiples of 18:

18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126

Therefore,

LCM(15, 18) = 90

The first common multiple is 90, and this is the lowest common multiple.

Therefore, the strands will change color at the same time again after 90 seconds.
