Answer:

(a) 0.932

(b) 0.0653

(c) 0.032

(d) 0.316

(e) 0.251

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table with mean parameter μ = 5, we can compute the following cumulative and density probability

(a) $P(X \leq 8) = 0.932$ (cumulative)

(b) P(X = 8) = 0.0653 (density)

(c) $P(9 \leq X) = 1 - P(X \leq 9) = 1 - 0.968 = 0.032$ (cumulative)

(d) $P(5 \leq X \leq 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) = 0.932 - 0.616 = 0.316$ (cumulative)

(e) $P(5 < X < 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) - P(X = 8) = 0.932 - 0.616 - 0.0653 = 0.251$

For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm

saveliy_v [14]

We have been given an equation $ae^{ct}=d$ . We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

$\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}$

$e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}$

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

$\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Using natural log property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

We know that $\text{ln}(e)=1$ , so we will get:

$ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

$ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

$\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

Therefore, our solution would be $t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$ .

Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step

Lilit [14]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is attached.

In order to solve this exercise, it is necessary to remember the following property:

The Multiplication property of Equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c$

In this case, the equation that Jada had is the folllowing:

$-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{x}{108}$

Jada needed to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value.

The correct procedure to solve for for "x" is to multiply both sides of the equation by 108. Then, you get:

$(108)(-\frac{4}{9})=(\frac{x}{108})(108)\\\\-48=x$

As you can notice in the picture, Jada did not multiply both sides of the equation by 108, but multiplied the left side by $-\frac{4}{9}$ <em> </em>and the right side by $-\frac{9}{4}$ .

Therefore,you can conclude that Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.
