A filtration process removes a random proportion of particulates in water to which it is applied. Suppose that a sample of water is subjected to this process twice. Let x1 be the proportion of the particulates that are removed by the first pass. Let X2 be the proportion of what remains after the first pass that is removed by the second pass. Assume that X1 and X2 are independent random variables with common pdf. f(x) = 4x3, for 0 < x <1 and f(x) = 0 otherwise. Let Y be the proportion of the original particulates that remain in the sample after two passes. Then Y = (1 - X1)(1 - X2). Find E(Y).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]E(Y)=\frac{1}{25}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variables for this exercise :

[tex]X_{1}:[/tex] '' The proportion of the particulates that are removed by the first pass ''

[tex]X_{2}:[/tex] '' The proportion of what remains after the first pass that is removed by the second pass ''

[tex]Y:[/tex] '' The proportion of the original particulates that remain in the sample after two passes ''

We know the relation between the random variables :

[tex]Y=(1-X_{1})(1-X_{2})[/tex]

We also assume that [tex]X_{1}[/tex] and [tex]X_{2}[/tex] are independent random variables with common pdf.

The probability density function for both variables is [tex]f(x)=4x^{3}[/tex] for [tex]0<x<1[/tex] and [tex]f(x)=0[/tex] otherwise.

The first step to solve this exercise is to find the expected value for [tex]X_{1}[/tex] and [tex]X_{2}[/tex].

Because the variables have the same pdf we write :

[tex]E(X_{1})= E(X_{2})=E(X)[/tex]

Using the pdf to calculate the expected value we write :

[tex]E(X)=\int\limits^a_b {xf(x)} \, dx[/tex]

Where [tex]a=[/tex] ∞ and [tex]b=[/tex] - ∞ (because we integrate in the whole range of the random variable). In this case, we will integrate between [tex]0[/tex] and [tex]1[/tex] ⇒

Using the pdf we calculate the expected value :

[tex]E(X)=\int\limits^1_0 {x4x^{3}} \, dx=\int\limits^1_0 {4x^{4}} \, dx=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]E(X)=E(X_{1})=E(X_{2})=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Now we need to use some expected value properties in the expression of [tex]Y[/tex] ⇒

[tex]Y=(1-X_{1})(1-X_{2})[/tex] ⇒

[tex]Y=1-X_{2}-X_{1}+X_{1}X_{2}[/tex]

Applying the expected value properties (linearity and expected value of a constant) ⇒

[tex]E(Y)=E(1)-E(X_{2})-E(X_{1})+E(X_{1}X_{2})[/tex]

Using that [tex]X_{1}[/tex] and [tex]X_{2}[/tex] have the same expected value [tex]E(X)[/tex] and given that [tex]X_{1}[/tex] and [tex]X_{2}[/tex] are independent random variables we can write [tex]E(X_{1}X_{2})=E(X_{1})E(X_{2})[/tex]   ⇒

[tex]E(Y)=E(1)-E(X)-E(X)+E(X_{1})E(X_{2})[/tex] ⇒

[tex]E(Y)=E(1)-2E(X)+[E(X)]^{2}[/tex]

Using the value of [tex]E(X)[/tex] calculated :

[tex]E(Y)=1-2(\frac{4}{5})+(\frac{4}{5})^{2}=\frac{1}{25}[/tex]

[tex]E(Y)=\frac{1}{25}[/tex]

We find that the expected value of the variable [tex]Y[/tex] is [tex]E(Y)=\frac{1}{25}[/tex]

Given that Kirk worked hard over the summer and saved $3,251.35 to live on during the next two semesters of school, and Kirk will receive a scholarship each semester for $1,157.9, to determine, if he plans to use up all of his savings while at school, how much money can Kirk spend each month, on average, for things like groceries, entertainment, and miscellaneous items, assuming two semesters equals 8 months total, the following calculation must be made:

(3251.35 + (1157.9 x 2)) / 8 = X(3251.35 + 2315.8) / 8 = X5567.15 / 8 = X695.89 = X

5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know both the number of silver and gold coins, we can put it in ratio form. Pay attention to the order; since it’s asking for silver to gold coins, the ratio would be silver:gold. We can substitute the 5 and 2 for the gold and sliver values, so we get 5:2. This answer cannot be simplified so it will stay the same.

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this scenario, we can set up the following equations:

x + y = 8

x² + y² = 40.

___________

x + y = 8

y = 8 – x

(y)² = (8 – x)²

y² = (8 – x)²

x² + y² = 40

x² + (8 – x)² = 40

x² + 64 – 16x + x² = 40

2x² – 16x + 64 = 40

2x² – 16x = -24

2(x² – 8x) = -24

x² – 8x = -12

x² – 8x + 12 = 0

(x – 6)(x – 2) = 0

x = 6 or 2.

x + y = 8 →

(6 or 2) + y = 8

y = 8 – (6 or 2)

y = 2 or 6.

___________

x + y = 8 →

6 + 2 = 8 →

8 = 8 ✓

x² + y² = 40 →

Rafael's gas tank is 1/2 full. After he buys 9 gallons of gas, it is 4/5 full. How many gallons can Rafael's tank hold?

Answers

Answer:

30 Gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, lets see the difference the 9 gallons of gas did to Rafael's gas tank.

1/2 --> 0.5

4/5 --> 0.8

0.8-0.5 = +0.3

The tank was made 30% more full with the gas.

Next, we can use this to find the amount of gas which would need to be used to fully fill the tank, given that it was empty.

So to make it easier, say we filled it up a third of 30% to get an easier to work with 10% of fill of the gas tank.

9 / 3 ---> 3 Gallons

Now, multiply this by 10 to get the 100%

3 * 10 = 30 Gallons

All done!

you’re answers 30 gallons

z = 0.5 * 34

z = 17

We find x :

Sin 45 = 17 / x

x * sin45 = 17

x = 17 / sin 45

x = 24.04

Let y = y1 + y2

y1 = 17 / tan45

y1 = 17

a bookstore charges h dollars for a hardcover book, p dollars for a paperback book, and m dollars for a music CD. During a sale the store reduces the cost of of a book by 20% and reduced the cost of music CD by $1. Enter an equation for the total cost, t, for buying 5 hardcover books, 8 paperback books, and 6 music CDs during the sale.​

Answers

The Equation to represent the "total-cost", "t", for purchasing "5 hardcover books", 8 "paperback-books", and 6 music CDs during the sale is t = 4h + 6.4p + 6m - 1.

The cost of the hardcover-book is = $h,

The cost of the paperback-books is = $p,

The cost for one music-CD is = $m,

In the sale, the price of each book is reduced by 20%, and

The price of music-CD is reduced by $1,

So, the cost of 5 hardcover books during the sale is:

⇒ 5h - 0.2(5h) = 4h     ...because 20% = 0.2;

and the cost of 8 paperback books during the sale is:

⇒ 8p - 0.2(8p) = 6.4p,

The cost of 6 music CDs during the sale is ⇒ 6m - 1;

So, the total cost, "t", for buying 5 hardcover books, 8 paperback books, and 6 music CDs during the sale is:

⇒ t = 4h + 6.4p + 6m - 1,

Therefore, the required equation of "total-cost" is t = 4h + 6.4p + 6m - 1.

An architect wants to draw a rectangle with a diagonal of 13 centimeters. The length of the rectangle is to be 3 centimeters more than triple the width. What dimensions should she make the rectangle?​

Answers

Answer:

The rectangle is 3.2 cm by 12.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached image for a diagram.

Choose w to represent the width because the length is described by referring to the width:  it's 3 more than (add 3) triple (multiplied by 3) the width.

Length = 3w + 3

The diagonal forms two right triangles, each with leg = w, other leg = 3w + 3, hypotenuse  =  13.

The Pythagorean Theorem says [tex](\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2[/tex] so

[tex]w^2+(3w+3)^2=13^2\\\\w^2+9w^2+18w+9=169\\\\10w^2+18w-160=0\\\\5w^2+9w-80=0\\[/tex]

Now solve using the Quadratic Formula with [tex]a=5,\,b=9,\,c=-80[/tex].

[tex]w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81+1600}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{1681}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm41}{10}\\\\w=-5\text{ or }w=3.2[/tex]

The negative root makes no sense as a distance, so the width of the rectangle is 3.2 cm. The length is 3(3.2) + 3 = 12.6 cm.
