Answer:

a) 0.019

b) 0.563

c) x = 1.966 hours

Detailed explanation:

E(X) = 1

The probability function for an exponential random variable can be expressed as

P(X=x) = λ e^(-λ.x)

The cumulative distribution function is defined as

P(X ≤ x) = 1 - e^(-λ.x)

a) This refers to the time gaps between the arrivals of smaller aircraft at a county airport, which follows an exponential distribution.

To find the number of planes landing every hour, the Poisson distribution formula is used as it is more suited for discrete systems.

The Poisson formula is defined as

P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x!

For this case, λ = 1 aircraft per hour.

The likelihood of having more than three aircraft arrivals in one hour is expressed as P(X > 3)

P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X ≤ 3) = 1 - [P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3)]

P(X > 3) = 1 - 0.98101 = 0.01899 = 0.019 rounded to three decimal places

b) For 30 separate one-hour intervals selected, what is the probability that none of the intervals contain more than three arrivals?

The possibility that a single 1-hour interval has three or fewer arrivals equals 1 - P(X > 3)

= 1 - 0.01899 = 0.98101

The likelihood that none of the thirty 1-hour intervals exceed three arrivals is (0.98101)³⁰ = 0.5626 = 0.563 rounded to three decimal places

c) Calculate the duration of an interval (in hours) where the chance of no arrivals is 0.14

To solve this, we will apply the cumulative distribution function for an exponential random variable

P(X ≤ x) = 1 - e^(-λ.x)

P(X > x) = 1 - P(X ≤ x)

P(X > x) = e^(-λ.x)

Here, λ = 1, x =?,

0.14 = e⁻ˣ

e⁻ˣ = 0.14

Taking the natural logarithm: In e⁻ˣ = In 0.14 = -1.966

-x = -1.966

x = 1.966 hours

Hope this Helps!!!

Below is a probability distribution for the number of failures in an elementary statistics course. X 0 1 2 3 4 P(X=x) 0.41 0.18
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

a) P(X=2)= 0.29

b) P(X<2)= 0.59

c) P(X≤2)= 0.88

d) P(X>2)= 0.12

e) P(X=1 or X=4)= 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4)= 0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find P(X=2), we calculate: P(X=2)= 1 - P(X=0) - P(X=1) - P(X=3) - P(X=4) which equals 1 - 0.41 - 0.18 - 0.06 - 0.06, resulting in 0.29

b) For P(X<2), we sum P(X=0) and P(X=1): 0.41 + 0.18 yields 0.59

c) To obtain P(X≤2), we add P(X=0), P(X=1), and P(X=2): 0.41 + 0.18 + 0.29 equals 0.88

d) To calculate P(X>2), we find P(X=3) + P(X=4): 0.06 + 0.06 gives us 0.12

e) For P(X=1 or X=4), we use the union of probabilities: P(X=1) + P(X=4) which is 0.18 + 0.06, resulting in 0.24

f) P(1≤X≤4) is found by adding P(X=1), P(X=2), P(X=3), and P(X=4): 0.18 + 0.29 + 0.06 + 0.06 results in 0.59

Nik needs to estimate how many books will fit in a bin. Each book is 1 ft tall, 0.5 ft wide, and 0.1 ft thick. The bin is 5 feet
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

600 books

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the bin are

5 by 2 by 3

The volume of the bin is found by multiplying these three dimensions.

Volume of Bin = 5 * 2 * 3 = 30 cubic feet

To find the volume of each book, we use the same method. The dimensions of one book are:

1 by 0.5 by 0.1

Volume of 1 book = 1 * 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 cubic feet

The total number of books fitting into the bin is calculated by:

30/0.05 = 600 books

Find the standard deviation of the following data. Answers are rounded to the nearest tenth. 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56
Inessa [12570]

Response:

24.2 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Detailed breakdown:

The data type involved is ungrouped

standard deviation =√ [∑ (x-μ)² / n]

average (μ)=∑x/n

           = \frac{5+5+6+12+13+26+37+49+51+56+56+84}{12}

          =33.3

For the values 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56, 56, 84, the x-μ results will be

                   -28.3, -28.3, -27.3, -21.3, -7.3, 3.7, 15.7,17.7, 22.7,22.7,50.7

Calculating (x-μ)² gives: 800.89, 800.89, 745.29, 453.69, 53.29, 13.69, 246.49, 313.29, 515.29, 515.29, 2570.49

Then, ∑ (x-μ)² results in = 7028.59

Thus, standard deviation = √(7028.59 / 12)

                      =24.2

How do i convert 8.25*10^2 cg to nanograms?
Inessa [12570]
1 cg equals 10^-5 kg
Thus, 8.25 * 10^2 cg converts to 8.25 * 10^-3 kg

1 nanogram is represented as 10^-12 kg
Consequently, 8.25 * 10^-3 kg is equivalent to 8.25 * 10^9 nanograms

As a result, 8.25 * 10^2 cg is equal to 8.25 * 10^9 nanograms.
