Answer:

x + y = 15

0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of oranges

y represents the number of apples

Aisha bought 15 pieces of fruit:  oranges + apples = 15 or x + y = 15

Oranges cost $0.50 and apples cost $0.65.  Aisha spent $9.00 on the fruit.

0.5x (total cost for oranges) + 0.65y (total cost for apples) = 9.00 (total cost for fruit) or 0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00

I might be wrong but i think its 
.5x + .65y = 15

Jung-Soon has $25 to spend on prizes for a game at the school fair. Lip balm costs $1.25 each, and
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

1.25x + 1.5y=25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of lip balms that can be bought be x and the notebooks be y then their total cost is 1.25x + 1.5y. The total $25 there for the equation becomes 1.25x + 1.5y=25.

Which expression represents the calculation “subtract 10 from 36, then divide by 6”
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(36 - 10) (divide sign) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Walk through the problem:

"subtract 10 from 36." = "take ten away from 36." = "36 - 10."

"then divide by 6." = "Divide 36 - 10 by 6." = "(36 - 10) divided by 6."

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).
Vesna [10]
Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation.  We already have an x and y value.  The derivative is found this way:  y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2} so  y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}.  The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation.  Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}.  So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3.  Use these values to solve for b.  1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b  so b = 2.  The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2

docker41 [41]

Answer:

My explanation is too long so, I had to limit my characters

Find answers within explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f (x, y) = A (20 - x - 2y), 0 ≤ x ≤ 5, 0 ≤ y ≤ 5 and f (x, y) = 0 elsewhere.

(a) To solve for A,the joint probability density function must satisfy the following condition

∫∫f(x,y) = 1

So, we have

∫∫ A (20 - x - 2y) dydx.{0,5}{0,5} = 1

First, we integrate with respect to y

∫[∫A (20 - x - 2y){0,5}dy]dx{0,5} = 1

A∫[∫ (20 - x - 2y){0,5}dy]dx{0,5} = 1

A∫[(20y - xy - y²){0,5}] dx {0,5} = 1

A∫[(20(5) - x(5) - (5)²)] dx{0,5} = 1

A∫[(100 - 5x - 25)] dx {0,5} = 1

A∫[(75- 5x)] dx {0,5} = 1

Then we differentiate with respect to x

A[(75x- 5x²/2)] {0,5} = 1

A[(75(5)- 5(5)²/2)] = 1

A(375 - 125/2)= 1

625A/2 = 1

625A = 2

A = 2/625

b. Here we have

∫∫ A (20 - x - 2y) dydx.{2,3}{1,2} where A = 2/625

First, we integrate with respect to y

∫[∫A (20 - x - 2y){2,3}dy]dx{1,2}

A∫[∫ (20 - x - 2y){2,3}dy]dx{1,2}

A∫[(20y - xy - y²){2,3}] dx {1,2}

A∫[(20(3) - x(3) - (3)²) - (20(2) - x(2) - (2)²] dx{1,2}

A∫[(60 - 3x - 9) - (40 - 2x - 4)] dx {1,2}

A∫[(20- x - 5)] dx {1,2}

A∫[(15 - x)] dx {1,2}

Then we differentiate with respect to x

A[(15x- x²/2)] {1,2}

A[(15(2)- (2)²/2) - (15(1) - 1²/2]

A(28 - 29/2)

A(27/2) ------ Substitute 2/625 for A

2/625 * 27/2

27/625

So, P (1 ≤ X ≤ 2, 2 ≤ Y ≤ 3) = 27/625

c. Calculating the marginal probability density function for X;

This is given by

fx(x) = ∫ f(x,y) dy

Where f(x,y) = f (x, y) = A (20 - x - 2y), 0 ≤ y ≤ 5 and A = 2/625

So, we have

fx(x) = ∫ A (20 - x - 2y) dy {0,5}

A ∫(20 - x - 2y) dy {0,5}

Integrate with respect to y

A (20y - xy - y²) {0,5}

A(20(5) - x(5) - 5²)

A(100 - 5x - 25)

A(75-5x)

A * 5(15-x)

5A(15-x)

5 * 2/625 * (15 - x)

2/125 * (15 - x)

(30 - 2x)/125

So, fx(x) = (30 - 2x)/125

Calculating the marginal probability density function for Y;

This is given by

fy(y) = ∫ f(x,y) dx

Where f(x,y) = f (x, y) = A (20 - x - 2y), 0 ≤ x ≤ 5 and A = 2/625

So, we have

fy(y) = ∫ A (20 - x - 2y) dx {0,5}

A ∫(20 - x - 2y) dx {0,5}

Integrate with respect to x

A (20x - x²/2 - 2xy) {0,5}

A(20(5) - 5²/2 - 2*5y)

A(100 - 25/2 - 10y)

A(175/2 - 10y)

A * (175 - 20y)/2

2/625 * (175 - 20y)/2

(175 - 20y)/625

(35 - 4y)/125

So, fy(y) = (35 - 4y)/125

d. If the product of the marginal distribution of variables X and Y emails the joint probability density function, then they are independent.

Mathematically, f(x,y) = fx(x) * fy(y) for all values of x and y

Let x∈(0,5) and y∈(0,5)

Then

f(x,y) ≠ fx(x) * fy(y)

So, x and y are not independent

e. Here, we're asked to find E(x) and Var(x)

Calculating E(x)

E(x) = ∫xfx(x) dx

Where fx(x) = (30 - 2x)/125 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 5

So, E(x) = ∫x (30 - 2x)/125 dx {0,5}

1/125 ∫ x(30-2x) dx {0,5}

1/125∫30x - 2x² dx {0,5}

1/125 (15x² - 2x³/3) {0,5}

1/125(15(5)² - 2(5)³/3)

1/125(375-250/3)

1/125(875)

7/3

So, E(x) = 7/3

Var(x) = E(x²) - (E(x))²

Calculating E(x²)

E(x²) = ∫x²fx(x) dx

Where fx(x) = (30 - 2x)/125 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 5

So, E(x²) = ∫x² (30 - 2x)/125 dx {0,5}

1/125 ∫ x ²(30-2x) dx {0,5}

1/125∫30x² - 2x³ dx {0,5}

1/125 (10x³ - ½x⁴) {0,5}

1/125(10(5)³ - ½(5)⁴)

1/125(1250 - 625/2)

1/125(1875/2)

E(x²) = 15/2

So,Var(x) = E(x²) - (E(x))² becomes

Var(x) = 15/2 - (7/3)²

Var(x) = 15/2 - 49/9

Var(x) = (135 - 98)/9

Var(x) = 37/18

f. Here, we're asked to find E(y) and Var(y)

Calculating E(y)

E(y) = ∫yfy(y) dy

Where fy(y) = (35 - 4y)/125 for 0 ≤ y ≤ 5

So, E(y) = ∫y (35 - 4y)/125 dy {0,5}

1/125 ∫ y(35 - 4y) dy {0,5}

1/125∫35y - 4y² dy {0,5}

1/125 (35y²/2 - 4y³/3) {0,5}

1/125(35(5)²/2 - 4(5)³/3)

1/125(875/2 - 500/3)

7/2 - 4/3

(21 - 8)/6

So, E(y) = 13/6

Var(y) = E(y²) - (E(y))²

Calculating E(x²)

E(y²) = ∫y²fy(y) dy

Where fy(y) = (35 - 4y)/125 for 0 ≤ y ≤ 5

So, E(y²) = ∫y² (35 - 4y)/125 dy {0,5}

1/125 ∫ y²(35 - 4y) dy {0,5}

1/125∫35y² - 4y³ dy {0,5}

1/125 (35y³/3 - y⁴) {0,5}

1/125(35(5)³/3 - (5)⁴)

1/125(4375/3 - 625)

35/3 - 5

(35 - 15)/3

E(y²) = 20/3

So,Var(y) = E(y²) - (E(y))² becomes

Var(y) = 20/3 - (13/6)²

Var(y) = 71/36

g. Here, we're asked to solve for

fy|x = x(y).

This can be solved using the following

fy|x = x(y) = f(x,y)/fx(x)

So, fy|x = x(y) = f(x,y)/fx(x)

fy|x = 3(y) = f(3,y)/fx(3)

Let y∈(0,5); so, we have

fy|x = x(y) = A(20-3-2y)/(30-(2*3)/125)

fy|x = x(y) = 125A(17-2y)/24

Substitute 2/625 for A

fy|x = x(y) = (17-2y)/60

h. Formula for Covariance is

Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) - E(X)E(Y)

Calculating E(XY)

E(XY) = ∫∫xy f(x,y) dy dx

∫∫ xy * A(20-x-2y) dy dx {0,5}{0,5}

A∫∫ xy * (20-x-2y) dy dx {0,5}{0,5}

A∫∫ 20xy - x²y -2xy² dy dx {0,5}{0,5}

First, we integrate with respect to y

A∫10xy² - x²y²/2 - 2xy³/3 {0,5} dx {0,5}

A∫10x(5²) - x²(5²)/2 - 2x(5³)/3 dx {0,5}

A∫250x - 25x²/2 - 250x/3 dx {0,5}

A∫500x/3 - 25x²/2 dx {0,5}

Then we integrate with respect to x

A(500x²/6 - 25x³/6) {0,5}

A(500(5)²/6 - 25(5)³/6)

A(12500/6 - 3125/6)

A(9375/6)

Substitute 2/625 for A

2/625 * 9375/6

E(XY) = 5

So, Cov(X,Y) = 5 - 7/3*13/6

Cov(X,Y) = -1/18

i. Correlation is calculated as follows;

Cor(x,y) = Cov(x,y)/√(Var(y)*(Var(x)

Cor(x,y) = (-1/18)/√(71/36 *37/18)

Cor(x,y) = -0.0276
