A random variables X and Y are distributed according to the joint PDF. The value of constant a = _______.f(x,y)=ax if 1<=1x<=y<=2 and 0 otherwise

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:    3/2

======================================================

Explanation:

PDF = probability density function

The given joint PDF is

[tex]f(x,y) = \begin{cases}ax \ \ \ \text{ if } 1 \le x \le y \le 2\\0 \ \ \ \ \ \text{ otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

Let's focus on the [tex]1 \le x \le y \le 2[/tex]. Specifically the x term for now. Erasing out the y term, we have the inequality [tex]1 \le x \le 2[/tex] which says x is between 1 and 2, inclusive. We have almost the same story for y, but there's another condition attached to it: y must also be equal to or larger than x.

So let's say x = 1.5. This would mean [tex]1.5 \le y \le 2[/tex]. As another example, x = 1.7  leads to [tex]1.7 \le y \le 2[/tex]. In general, we would say [tex]x \le y \le 2[/tex] where x is between 1 and 2.

As x gets bigger, the range of possible y values gets smaller. If x = 2, then y has no choice but to be 2 as well.

-----------------

Based on that, we'll have a double integral that looks like this:

[tex]\displaystyle V = \int_{1}^{2}\int_{x}^{2}f(x,y)dydx\\\\[/tex]

The outer integral handles the x terms that range from 1 to 2, describing [tex]1 \le x \le 2[/tex]. Note the dx on the outside. The order of the dy and dx matters.

On the inside, we have the integral for dy ranging from x to 2 to describe the interval [tex]x \le y \le 2[/tex]

To have f(x,y) be a PDF, the volume under the f(x,y) surface must be 1, where the volume is based on the bounds set up. So we must have V = 1. We'll use this later.

-----------------

Let's simplify the double integral.

We'll start by computing the inner integral with respect to y.

[tex]\displaystyle V = \int_{1}^{2}\int_{x}^{2}f(x,y)dydx\\\\\displaystyle V = \int_{1}^{2}\int_{x}^{2}\left(ax\right)dydx\\\\\displaystyle V = \int_{1}^{2}\left(axy\Bigg|_{x}^{2}\right)dx\\\\\displaystyle V = \int_{1}^{2}\left(ax(2) - ax(x)\right)dx\\\\\displaystyle V = \int_{1}^{2}\left(2ax - ax^2\right)dx\\\\[/tex]

Then we'll finish it off by integrating with respect to x.

[tex]\displaystyle V = \int_{1}^{2}\left(2ax - ax^2\right)dx\\\\\displaystyle V = \left(ax^2 - \frac{1}{3}ax^3\right)\Bigg|_{1}^{2}\\\\\displaystyle V = \left(a(2)^2 - \frac{1}{3}a(2)^3\right) - \left(a(1)^2 - \frac{1}{3}a(1)^3\right)\\\\\displaystyle V = \left(4a - \frac{8}{3}a\right)-\left(a - \frac{1}{3}a\right)\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle V = 4a - \frac{8}{3}a-a + \frac{1}{3}a\\\\\displaystyle V = 3a - \frac{8}{3}a + \frac{1}{3}a\\\\\displaystyle V = \frac{9}{3}a - \frac{8}{3}a + \frac{1}{3}a\\\\\displaystyle V = \frac{9-8+1}{3}a\\\\\displaystyle V = \frac{2}{3}a\\\\[/tex]

Side note: We don't have to worry about the "plus C" integration constant when working with definite integrals.

Recall that V = 1. So,

[tex]\displaystyle V = \frac{2}{3}a\\\\\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}a = 1\\\\\displaystyle a = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5\\\\[/tex]

a = 3/2 is the final answer.

A yoga studio charges a $180 yearly fee for membership plus $18 for each class. What is the average total cost per class if a studio member takes 75 classes per year? Do not include the dollar sign ($) in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Average total cost per class is 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A yoga studio charges a 150 yearly fee for membership plus150yearlyfeeformembershipplus12 for each class.

Yearly charge = 150 $

Charge per class = 12 $

A studio member takes 100 classes per year

Number of class attended by studio member = 100

We need to find average total cost per class for this member for a year.

Total charge = Yearly charge + Number of class attended x Charge per class

Total charge = 150 + 100 x 12

Total charge = 150 + 1200

Total charge = 1350 $

\begin{gathered}\texttt{Average total cost per class = }\frac{\texttt{Total charge}}{\texttt{Number of class attended by studio member}}\\\\\texttt{Average total cost per class = }\frac{1350}{100}=13.5\$\end{gathered}

Average total cost per class =

. In a study of air-bag effectiveness it was found that in 821 crashes of midsize cars equipped with air bags, 46 of the crashes resulted in hospitalization of the drivers (based on data from the highway Loss Data Institute). Using a 0.01 significance level, you need to test the claim that the air-bag hospitalization rate is lower than the 7.8% rate for crashes of mid-size cars equipped with automatic safety belts. What conclusion should you make

Answers

Answer:

P(X ≤ 46 | X~B(821, 0.078)) = 0.00885745584

0.00885... < 0.01

The test statistic of 46 is significant

There is sufficient evidence to reject H₀ and accept H₁

Air bags are more effective as protection than safety belts

Step-by-step explanation:

821 crashes

46 hospitalisations where car has air bags

7.8% or 0.078 probability of hospitalisations in cars with automatic safety belts

α = 0.01 or 1% ← level of significance

One-tailed test

We are testing whether hospitalisations in cars with air bags are less likely than in a car with automatic safety belts;

The likelihood of hospitalisation in a car with automatic safety belts, we are told, is 7.8% or 0.078;

So we are testing if hospitalisations in cars with air bags is less than 0.078;

So, firstly:

Let X be the continuous random variable, the number of hospitalisations from a car crash with equipped air bags

X~B(821, 0.078)

Null hypothesis (H₀): p = 0.078

Alternative hypothesis (H₁): p < 0.078

According to the information, we reject H₀ if:

P(X ≤ 46 | X~B(821, 0.078)) < 0.01

To find P(X ≤ 46) or equally P(X < 47), it could be quite long-winded to do manually for this particular scenario;

If you are interested, the manual process involves using the formula for every value of x up to and including 46, i.e. x = 0, x = 1, x = 2, etc. until x = 46, the formula is:

[tex]P(X = r) = nCr * p^{r} * (1 - p)^{n - r}[/tex]

You can find binomial distribution calculators online, where you input n (i.e. the number of trials or 821 in this case), probability (i.e. 0.078) and the test statistic (i.e. 46), it does it all for you, which gives:

P(X ≤ 46 | X~B(821, 0.078)) = 0.00885745584

Now, we need to consider if the condition for rejecting H₀ is met and recognise that:

0.00885... < 0.01

There is sufficient evidence to reject H₀ and accept H₁.

To explain what this means:

The test statistic of 46 is significant according to the 1% significance level, meaning the likelihood that only 46 hospitalisations are seen in car crashes with air bags in the car as compared to the expected number in car crashes with automatic safety belts is very unlikely, less than 1%, to be simply down to chance;

In other words, there is 99%+ probability that the lower number of hospitalisations in car crashes with air bags is due to some reason, such as air bags being more effective as a protective implement than the safety belts in car crashes.

Answers

Problem 1

Answer: Choice A.  (0,9)

---------------------

Explanation:

The first task is to determine the function for f(x). Because it's linear, it's in the form y = mx+b. Let's find the slope m.

Select any two columns to pick out (x,y) points from the f(x) function. I'll pick the first two columns to select the points (-6,15) and (-4,11). Apply the slope formula to these two points to get...

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (11-15)/(-4-(-6))

m = (11-15)/(-4+6)

m = -4/2

m = -2

Then use this m value along with any of the points of the table to determine the y intercept b. I'll use the point (-6,15)

y = mx+b

b = y-mx

b = 15-(-2)*(-6)

b = 15-12

b = 3

The y = mx+b equation becomes y = -2x+3 and that leads directly to the function f(x) = -2x+3.

Repeat all of those steps but do so for g(x) this time. I'll skip those steps over but you should get the function g(x) = 5x-6.

The y intercepts of f(x) and g(x) found were 3 and -6 respectively. Subtract those values to find the y intercept of h(x) = (f-g)(x) = f(x)-g(x).

So we get 3-(-6) = 3+6 = 9 which leads to the location (0, 9).

=========================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Choice Ax is any real number but x cannot equal -2, -1 or 1.

---------------------

Explanation:

Through trial and error, the factor by grouping method, or using your graphing calculator, factor the denominator to get

g(x) = x^3+2x^2-x-2 = (x+2)(x+1)(x-1)

The factors (x+2), (x+1) and (x-1) lead to the roots of x = -2, x = -1, and x = 1 in that order. Those three roots of g(x) will make g(x) = 0 and cause a division by zero error in the denominator. So we must kick out those three values from the domain. Every other real number is allowed in the domain. So that's how we get the notation for choice A. It starts off saying x is a real number. Then it goes onto say that -2, -1 and 1 aren't allowed.

So overall the domain is described as: "x can be almost any real number except x cannot be -2, cannot be -1, and it cannot be 1".

Side note: We don't involve the numerator function at all.

=========================================================

Problem 3

Answer: Choice B. 2x+1 and x-3

---------------------

Explanation:

The height is x, which we can factor out like this

2x^3-5x^2-3x

2x^2*x - 5x*x - 3*x

x(2x^2-5x-3)

Effectively you would use the distribution rule in reverse.

Now let's factor the remaining expression in the parenthesis.

I'll use the factor by grouping method.

2x^2-5x-3

2x^2-6x+1x-3

(2x^2-6x) + (1x-3)

2x(x-3) + 1(x-3)

(2x+1)(x-3)

Therefore, the full factorization is

x(2x+1)(x-3)

which shows we have the dimensions of x, (2x+1) and (x-3). The order doesn't matter so we could easily have (2x+1) the length and (x-3) the width, or we could have it the other way around.

You can verify that (2x+1)(x-3) expands out to 2x^2-5x-3 using either the FOIL method or the box method.
