Let X be the number of the cars being repaired at a repair shop. We have the following information:
At any time, there are at most 3 cars being repaired.
The probability of having 2 cars at the shop is the same as the probability of having one car.
The probability of having no car at the shop is the same as the probability of having 3 cars.
The probability of having 1 or 2 cars is half of the probability of having 0 or 3 cars.
(a) What is the sample space?
(b) Find the pmf of X and draw the histogram of pmf.
(c) Find the cdf of X and draw the histogram of cdf.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Sample Space

[tex]S = \{0,1,2,3\}[/tex]

(b) PMF

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {P(x)} & {1/3} & {1/6} & {1/6} & {1/3} \ \end{array}[/tex]

(c) CDF

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {F(x)} & {1/3} & {1/2} & {2/3} & {1} \ \end{array}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): The sample space

From the question, we understand that at most 3 cars will be repaired.

This implies that, the number of cars will be 0, 1, 2 or 3

So, the sample space is:

[tex]S = \{0,1,2,3\}[/tex]

Solving (b): The PMF

From the question, we have:

[tex]P(2) = P(1)[/tex]

[tex]P(0) = P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(1\ or\ 2) = 0.5 * P(0\ or\ 3)[/tex]

[tex]P(1\ or\ 2) = 0.5 * P(0\ or\ 3)[/tex] can be represented as:

[tex]P(1) + P(2) = 0.5[P(0) + P(3)][/tex]

Substitute [tex]P(2) = P(1)[/tex] and [tex]P(0) = P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(1) + P(1) = 0.5[P(0) + P(0)][/tex]

[tex]2P(1) = 0.5[2P(0)][/tex]

[tex]2P(1) = P(0)[/tex]

[tex]P(0)= 2P(1)[/tex]

Also note that:

[tex]P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) = 1[/tex]

Substitute [tex]P(2) = P(1)[/tex] and [tex]P(0) = P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(0) + P(1) + P(1) + P(0) = 1[/tex]

[tex]2P(1) + 2P(0) = 1[/tex]

Substitute [tex]P(0)= 2P(1)[/tex]

[tex]2P(1) + 2*2P(1) = 1[/tex]

[tex]2P(1) + 4P(1) = 1[/tex]

[tex]6P(1) = 1[/tex]

Solve for P(1)

[tex]P(1) = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

To calculate others, we have:

[tex]P(2) = P(1)[/tex]

[tex]P(2) = P(1) = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]P(0)= 2P(1)[/tex]

[tex]P(0) =2 * \frac{1}{6}[/tex][tex]P(0) =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]P(3) = P(0) =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the PMF is:

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {P(x)} & {1/3} & {1/6} & {1/6} & {1/3} \ \end{array}[/tex]

See attachment (1) for histogram

Solving (c): The CDF ; F(x)

This is calculated as:

[tex]F(x) = P(X \le x) =\sum\limit^{3}_{x_i \le x} P(x_i)[/tex]

For x = 0;

We have:

[tex]P(X \le 0) = P(0)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 0) = 1/3[/tex]

For x = 1

[tex]P(X \le 1) = P(0) + P(1)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 1) = 1/3 + 1/6[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 1) = 1/2[/tex]

For x = 2

[tex]P(X \le 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 2) = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/6[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 2) = 2/3[/tex]

For x = 3

[tex]P(X \le 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/3[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = 1[/tex]

Hence, the CDF is:

[tex]\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {F(x)} & {1/3} & {1/2} & {2/3} & {1} \ \end{array}[/tex]

I REALLY NEED HELP , “ a company is designing a new cylindrical water bottle. the volume of the bottle will be 207 cm *to the 3rd power* the height of the water bottle is 8.4 cm. what is the radius of the water bottle?”

Answers

Answer:

Radius, r = 2.80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume of cylinder = 207 cm³

Height = 8.4 cm

Pie, π = 3.14

To find the radius of the water bottle;

Mathematically, the volume of a cylinder is given by the formula;

V = πr²h

Where;

V is the volume of a cylinder.

r represents the radius of the cylinder.

h represents the height of the cylinder.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

207 = 3.14 * r² * 8.4

207 = 26.376r²

r² = 207/26.376

r² = 7.85

r = √7.85

Radius, r = 2.80 cm

calculate the value of w.
Show your working

Answers

Answer:

2.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

6*5=30

30/2=15

That's the area of the triangle

The area of the rectangle must also equal 15

6*w=15

Divide by both sides by 6

This gives you: 2.5

The value of the width of rectangle w for which the triangle and the rectangle have the same area is, 2.5 cm

Used the formula of area of the rectangle and area of the triangle which states that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

And, Area of triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height

Given that,

The triangle and the rectangle have the same area.

Here, in a triangle;

Base = 5 cm

Height = 6 cm

So, the Area of the triangle is,

[tex]A = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 6[/tex]

[tex]A = 15 \text{ square cm}[/tex]

In a rectangle;

Length = 6 cm

Width = w cm

So, the area of a rectangle,

[tex]A = 6 \times w[/tex] [tex]\text{ square cm}[/tex]

Since the triangle and the rectangle have the same area.

So, equate both the area of the triangle and rectangle,

[tex]6 \times w = 15[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6,

[tex]w = \dfrac{15}{6}[/tex]

[tex]w = 2.5 \text{ cm}[/tex]

So, the value of w is 2.5 cm

total minutes will it take Paula to drain
her fish tank?

Answers

Answer:

If the water continues to drain at this rate, it would take 11 total minutes for Paula to drain her fish tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 6 minutes, she is able to drain 18 cms of her fish tank, so in 1 minute, she would be able to drain 3 cms of her fish tank. 15 divided by 3 is 5, so it would take 5 minutes to drain the rest of her fish tank. But it is asking for the total amount so 5 plus 6 is 11 total minutes.

Answer:  (-1, 6)

==============================================================

Explanation:

f(x) is equal to both x^2-2x+3 and also -6x at the same time. Set those two expressions equal to one another and solve for x.

x^2-2x+3 = -6x

x^2-2x+3+6x = 0

x^2+4x+3 = 0

(x+3)(x+1) = 0 .... see note below

x+3 = 0 or x+1 = 0

x = -3 or x = -1

Note: 3 and 1 multiply to 3, and also add to 4.

---------------------

Once we get the x values, we plug them into either equation to find the y value.

So if x = -3, then

f(x) = x^2-2x+3

f(-3) = (-3)^2-2(-3)+3

f(-3) = 9 + 6 + 3

f(-3) = 18

or we could say

f(x) = -6x

f(-3) = -6(-3)

f(-3) = 18

Both versions produce the same output when x = -3.

The second version is easier to work with.

Since x = -3 leads to y = 18, we know that (-3, 18) is one of the solutions. That explains where your teacher got (-3, 18) from.

-----------

We'll use this idea for x = -1 now

f(x) = x^2-2x+3

f(-1) = (-1)^2-2(-1)+3

f(-1) = 1 + 2 + 3

f(-1) = 6

or we could say

f(x) = -6x

f(-1) = -6(-1)

f(-1) = 6

Like before, both versions of f(x) produce the same output when the input is x = -1.

The other solution is (-1, 6)

(February 24, 1959)Fellow peasants:Many symbols expressed the extraordinary transformations that are taking place in our country, symbols that are as lights showing the way to our people.We have celebrated many times the anniversary of the 24 of February. But this is the first which really represents the end of our fight for independence. It was initiated by our grand-parents against Spain, and we have finally obtained it on the first of January, 1959.We are tonight in the Cuartel Moncada, the place where the fight against Tyranny was initiated. Tonight, it is the symbol of our Revolution Many have not noticed yet the many changes that have taken place in Cuba. I can read everywhere signs speaking about Agrarian Reform, about the Destruction of "latifundia" about technical assistance, about comfortable houses for the peasants. These are the deepest yearnings of a class that has always been a victim.But I ask myself, what have the peasants to ask from the government? They must not ask anything from us, the time for asking is over I was not born poor, I was born rich. I was not the son of a landless peasant, I was the son of a rich landowner. I never lived in a miserable house. I was near poorness but I never suffered from it. That is why I do not defend landowners but the people and the peasants Together we have lived through many dreams. We are so united in brotherhood, nothing can separate us. Of those peasants we had found when we landed we made rebel soldiers. That is why we can say that the Rebel Army is fundamentally a peasant army. We owe our victory to the peasants.The Prime Minister is a leader of the peasants and nobody can defend them better than he. That is why I am here tonight.Nothing makes me so enthusiastic as the Agrarian Reform. We are not men of promises, but men of facts. So, you can be sure that this deep yearning of the peasants shall be accomplished. We shall give the land to the peasants These things must be well known. The war was won by doing the things that had to be done. One mistake and we would have lost. That is why after the military victory, we must accomplish the revolutionary victory and we have to do the things that have to be done. One - mistake and the Revolution would be lost. I have come to tell the peasants how they can win this war and to ask them if they have confidence in us. We need one single direction and each man must be a disciplined soldier First came the Agrarian Law of the Rebel Army. We made it because we knew we would find many difficulties after the victory, and we promulgated laws in the territories we had liberated, to have that on our side.That was why we gave 70 acres to each peasant, and gave them facilities to buy them. It was so established in the Constitution and we were following the Constitution.These peasants were given the land and they shall keep it, nobody shall take them away from there. We have now to take care if the procedure, the Rebel Army did not have time to give legal form to this act. But this is easy to do, and the peasants shall stay in the land they own now.But now we have another problem: the peasants who have not been given any land. The Agrarian Reform shall take care of this All those who work on a piece of land must stay there. It shall be given to them. But thousands of families do not have any land at all. To cope with this situation we need time. If it could be done in three minutes it should be done so. But the Agrarian Reform takes time and a lot of studying.We have developed a national campaign to make everybody work for the Agrarian Reform. Even the industrials. I told them that the Agrarian Reform would increase the national income and that their - industries would also be increased. If a man has no money, how can he buy shoes?
