Explanation of Solution

The probability of X that lies between 1 and 3 can be obtained as follows:

P(1<X<3)=P(X<3)P(X<1)=12×325×(30)12×125×(10)=0.180.2=0.16

(c)

To determine

Probability of X that lies between 4 and 8.

(c)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The probability can be estimated as follows:

P(4<X<8)=P(4<X<5)+P(5<X<8)......(1)P(4<X<5)=P(X<5)P(X<4)=12×525×(50)12×425×(40)=0.50.32=0.18P(5<X<8)=P(X>5)P(X>8)=12×525×(105)12×225×(108)=0.50.8=0.42

Substitute the values in the above Equation (1).

P(4<X<8)=P(4<X<5)+P(5<X<8)=0.18+0.42=0.60

(d)

To determine

Estimate the probability of X less than 7.

Explanation of Solution

The probability can be estimated as follows:

P(X<7)=1P(X>7)P(X>7)=12×325×(107)=0.18P(X<7)=10.18=0.82

(e)

To determine

Estimate the probability that X is greater than 3.

Explanation of Solution

The probability can be estimated as follows:

P(X>3)=1P(X<3)P(X<3)=12×325×(130)=0.18P(X>3)=10.18=0.82

Four heirs (A, B, C, and D) must divide fairly an estate consisting of three items — a house, a cabin and a boat — using the method of sealed bids. The players' bids (in dollars) are:   In the initial allocation, player D Group of answer choices gets no items and gets $62,500 from the estate. gets the house and pays the estate $122,500. gets the cabin and gets $7,500 from the estate. gets the boat and and gets $55,500 from the estate. none of these
Jack and Jill are getting a divorce. Except for the house, they own very little of value so they agree to divide the house fairly using the method of sealed bids. Jack bids 140,000 and Jill bids 160,000. After all is said and done, the final outcome is Group of answer choices Jill gets the house and pays Jack $80,000. Jill gets the house and pays Jack $75,000. Jill gets the house and pays Jack $70,000. Jill gets the house and pays Jack $65,000. none of these
The problem statement never defines whether the loan had compound or simple interest. The readings indicate that the diference in those will be learned later, and the formula used fro this answer was not in the chapter. Should it be assumbed that a simple interest caluclaton should be used?
