The time (In minutes) until the next bus departs a major bus depot follows a distribution with
from 25 to 45 minutes.
a. Define the random variable. X = ________
b. X
c. Graph the
d. The distribution Is ______________ (name of distribution). ft Is _____________ (discrete or continuous).
e.
f.
g. Find the probability that the time is at most 30 minutes. Sketch and label a graph of the distribution. Shade the area of interest. Write the answer in a probability statement.
h. Find the probability that the time is between 30 and .10 minutes. Sketch and Label a graph of the distribution. Shade the area of interest. Write the answer in a probability statement.
i. P(25 < x 55) = _________. State this in a probability statement, similarly to parts g and h, draw the picture, and find the probability.
j. Find the 90th percentile. This means that 90% of the time, the time is less than _ ___ minutes.
k. Find the 75th percentile. In a complete sentence, state what this means. (See pan J.)
j. Find the probability that the time Is more than .10 minutes given (or knowing that) it is at least 30 minutes.

(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
