Explanation Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all sides of the triangle. The side lengths of the triangle are 7.2 ft, 6 ft and 4 ft. Thus, the perimeter is, P = 7.2 ft + 4 ft + 6 ft = 17.2 ft Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 17.2 ft _ . Area of a triangle is A = s ( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) where s = a + b + c 2 . The value of s is, s = 7.2 + 4 + 6 2 = 17

6.82 6.83 6.84 6.85 *6.86 6.87 If Y is a continuous random variable and m is the median of the distribution, then m is such that P(Ym) = P(Y ≥ m) = 1/2. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y, are independent, exponentially dis- tributed random variables with mean ẞ and median m, Example 6.17 implies that Y(n) = max(Y₁, Y., Y) does not have an exponential distribution. Use the general form of FY() (y) to show that P(Y(n) > m) = 1 - (.5)". Refer to Exercise 6.82. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y,, is a random sample from any continuous distribution with mean m, what is P(Y(n) > m)? Refer to Exercise 6.26. The Weibull density function is given by -my" m-le-y/a f(y)= α 0. y > 0, elsewhere, where a and m are positive constants. If a random sample of size n is taken from a Weibull distributed population, find the distribution function and density function for Y(1) = min(Y1, Y2,Y). Does Y(1) = have a Weibull distribution? Let Y₁ and Y2 be independent and uniformly distributed over the interval (0, 1). Find P(2Y(1) 0, elsewhere,…
