Which of the following statements best describes the pth percentile of a continuous random variable, X, as it relates to the probability distribution function (pdf), f(x)? It is the value of x that has p area to the left of it under f(x). It is the area under f(x) to the right of p. It is the value of x that has p area to the right of it under f(x). It is the area under f(x) to the left of p.
The Denver Post reported that, on average, a large shopping center had an incident of shoplifting caught by security 2.1 times every two hours. The shopping center is open from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. (11 hours). Let r be the number of shoplifting incidents caught by security in an 11-hour period during which the center is open. What is λ? (Use 2 decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least one shoplifting incident caught by security? (Use 4 decimal places.)(c) What is the probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least three shoplifting incidents caught by security? (Use 4 decimal places.)
A Bus driver proposed a snow day with the distribution below, where x is defined to be the number of days that classes are canceled per week for a week where multiple storms are for cast. He proposes the probability mass function P(x) = 5/5 for x = 1,2,3,4,5 a) Show that the pmf is well defined b) Determine Mx, also called the expected value of x. Interpret the result and explain if the value for Mx makes sense.
Assume that the amount of time until a kid gets bored and wants to leave a playground can be modeled using exponential distribution. Given that 5 kids leave a particular playground on average per hour, if a kid has already played 10 minutes there what is the probability he will have spent at least a total of 25 minutes before he leaves?
