Feb 21 Homework SolutionsMath 151, Winter 2012 Chapter 5 Problems (pages 224-227)Problem 5A filling station is supplied with gasoline once a week. If its weekly volume of sales inthousands of gallons is a random variable with probability density functionf(x) ={5(1 x)40< x <1,0otherwisewhat must the capacity of the tank be so that the probability of the supply s being exhaustedin a given week want to find the capacityaso thatP{X a} 1 .01 =.99. For 0 a 1, wehaveP{X a}= a05(1 x)4dx= 1 (1 a)5,Hence we needP{X a} .99= 1 (1 a)5 .99= (1 a)5 .01= a 1 (.01)1/5 the capacity of the tank must be at least 6019 6 ComputeE[X]ifXhas a density function given by(a)f(x) ={14xe x/2x >00otherwiseE[X] = xf(x)dx= 014x2e x/2dx=( 12x2 2x 4)e x/2 0= 4.(b)f(x) ={c(1 x2) 1< x < [X] = xf(x)dx= 1 1cx(1 x2)dx= 0sincef(x) is an even function.}}}
A with probability (5 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5)=60 = 40=60 = 2=3. In other words, the passenger still takes the train to destination A two-thirds of the time. Problem 11 A point is chosen at random on a line segment of length L. Interpret this statement, and nd the probability that the ratio of the shorter to the longer segment is less than 1=4.
