Concept explainers
(a)
To calculate: The mean and standard deviation of the random variable x which is the daily demand (in hundreds of pounds) for a certain product with the probability density function
(b)
To calculate: The median of the random variable x which is the daily demand (in hundreds of pounds) for a certain product with the probability density function
(c)
To calculate: The probability that the demand is within one standard deviation of the mean of the daily demand (in hundreds of pounds) for a certain product with the probability density function

- aThe average rate of change of a function f between x=a and x=b is the slope of the ___________ line between (a,f(a)) and (b,f(b)).arrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardLet f(x)=1x . Find a number c such that the average rate of change of the functionfon the interval (1,c) is 14arrow_forward
