4 or more apples could be green because if there are 3 or less red then there must be 4-7 green
Vikentia [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

4, 5, 6 or 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of apples = 7,

Let x be the number of red apples,

Then the number of green apples = 7 - x,

According to the question,

x < 4

-x > -4

7-x > 7 - 4

7-x > 3

⇒ Number of green apples > 3,

Also, number of green apples ≤ 7

Thus, the number of green apples are more than 3 i.e. 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Example 4.5 introduced the concept of time headway in traffic flow and proposed a particular distribution for X 5 the headway be
exis [7]

Answer:

a. k = 3

b. Cumulative distribution function X, F(x)=\left \{ {0} , x\leq 1  \atop {1-x^{-3}, x>1}} \right.

c.  Probability when headway exceeds 2 seconds = 0.125

Probability when headway is between 2 and 3 seconds = 0.088

d. Mean value of headway = 1.5

Standard deviation of headway = 0.866

e.  Probability that headway is within 1 standard deviation of the mean value = 0.9245

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided,

Let X be the time headway between two randomly selected consecutive cars (sec).

The known distribution of time headway is,

f(x) = \left \{ {\frac{k}{x^4} , x > 1} \atop {0} , x \leq 1 } \right.

a. Value of k.

Since the distribution of X is a valid density function, the total area for density function is unity. That is,

\int\limits^{\infty}_{-\infty} f(x)dx=1

So, the equation becomes,

\int\limits^{1}_{-\infty} f(x)dx + \int\limits^{\infty}_{1} f(x)dx=1\\0 + \int\limits^{\infty}_{1} {\frac{k}{x^4}}.dx=1\\0 + k \int\limits^{\infty}_{1} {\frac{1}{x^4}}.dx=1\\k[\frac{x^{-3}}{-3}]^{\infty}_1=1\\k[0-(\frac{1}{-3})]=1\\\frac{k}{3}=1\\k=3

b. For this problem, the cumulative distribution function is defined as :

F(x) = \int\limits^1_{\infty} f(x)dx +  \int\limits^x_1 f(x)dx

Now,

F(x) = 0 +  \int\limits^x_1 {\frac{k}{x^4}}.dx\\= 0 +  \int\limits^x_1 3x^{-4}.dx\\= 3 \int\limits^x_1 x^{-4}dx\\= 3[\frac{x^{-4+1}}{-4+1}]^3_1\\= 3[\frac{x^{-3}}{-3}]^3_1\\=(\frac{-1}{x^3})|^x_1\\=(-\frac{1}{x^3}-(\frac{-1}{1}))=1- \frac{1}{x^3}=1-x^{-3}

Therefore the cumulative distribution function X is,

F(x)=\left \{ {0} , x\leq 1  \atop {1-x^{-3}, x>1}} \right.

c. Probability when the headway exceeds 2 secs.

Using cdf in part b, the required probability is,

P(X>2)=1-P(X\leq 2)\\=1-F(2)\\=1-[1-2^{-3}]\\=1-(1- \frac{1}{8})\\=\frac{1}{8} = 0.125

Probability when headway is between 2 seconds and 3 seconds

Using the cdf in part b, the required probability is,

P(2

≅ 0.088

d. Mean value of headway,

E(X)=\int\limits x * f(x)dx\\=\int\limits^{\infty}_1 x(3x^{-4})dx\\=3 \int\limits^{\infty}_1 x(x^{-4})dx\\=3 \int\limits^{\infty}_1 x^{-3}dx\\=3[\frac{x^{-3+1}}{-3+1}]^{\infty}_1\\=3[\frac{x^{-2}}{-2}]^{\infty}_1\\=3[\frac{1}{-2x^2}]^{\infty}_1\\=3[- \frac{1}{2x^2}]^{\infty}_1\\=3[- \frac{1}{2(\infty)^2}- (- \frac{1}{2(1)^2})]\\=3(\frac{1}{2})=1.5

And,

E(X^2)= \int\limits^{\infty}_1 x^2(3x^{-4})dx\\=3 \int\limits^{\infty}_1 x^{-2} dx\\=3[- \frac{1}{x}]^{\infty}_1\\=3(- \frac{1}{\infty}+1)=3

The standard deviation of headway is,

= \sqrt{V(X)}\\ =\sqrt{E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2} \\=\sqrt{3-(1.5)^2} \\=0.8660254

≅ 0.866

e. Probability that headway is within 1 standard deviation of the mean value

P(\alpha - \beta  < X < \alpha + \beta) = P(1.5-0.866 < X < 1.5 +0.866)\\=P(0.634 < X < 2.366)\\=P(X

From part b, F(x) = 0, if x ≤ 1

=1-(2.366)^{-3}\\=0.9245

Eli had $10 but he lost some of it. He mom doubled the money he had left. Eli wrote the expression 2(10-k) how much money he has
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the first expression:

2(10-k): where,

2:shows the double amount of money which ELI has

10:shows the amount of money which ELI had at the starting.

k:shows the amount of money which is lost.

10-k:shows the amount of money which ELI has after losing some amount.

According to the second expression:

20-2k where,

20:shows the twice of initial amount.

k: is the amount of money which is lost

2k:s hows the twice of amount which is lost

20-2k: shows the amount of money which is left with ELI after his mom gave him some money....

If Julie invests $9,250 at a rate of 7%, compounded weekly, find the value of the investment after 5 years.
Reil [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation

Principal =  $9250

rate of interest = 7%  or 0.07

time = 5 years or 260 weeks

      [ Since there are 52 weeks in a year . for 5 years it will be 5x52=260 weeks]

Applying the formula  

Amount after t years =       P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

                                         where P = principal

                                                     r = rate % in decimals

                                                    n= number of times in a year

                                                     t = times ( in years)

                          plugging the values  in the formula

              Amount =  9250(1+\frac{0.07}{52} )^{(52X(5)}

                             =  9250(1+0.001346 )^{(260)}

                              = 9250(1.001346 )^{(260)}

                               = 9250(1.418733588)

                                =$13123.29

Eva8 [605]
<span>Calculating the number of kg of each ingredient required per batch is nothing more than multiplying the number of kg per bag times 250. But the information given is woefully inadequate for answering the second part of the question. All you know is the cost of the ingredients and nothing about the fixed costs of running the factory, nor the company's G&A, nor the desired profit margin. If they sell just for the cost of the ingredients, they would go broke in a month.
