Particles are a major component of air pollution in many areas. It is of interest to study the sizes of contaminating particles. Let X represent the diameter, in micrometers, of a randomly chosen particle. Assume that in a certain area, the probability density function of X is inversely proportional to the volume of the particle ; that is, assume that fX(x) = c x 3 , x > 1, where c is a constant. (a) Find the value of c so that fX is a probability density function. (b) The term PM10 refers to particles 10 µ m or less in diameter. What proportion of contaminating particles are PM10 ? (c) The term PM2.5 refers to particles 2.5 µ m or less in diameter. What proportion of contaminating particles are PM2.5 ? (d) What proportion of the PM10 particles are PM2.5 ?

a) c = 2

b) 0.99

c) 0.84

d) 0.8485

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

a) Value of c

Property of probability density function

Putting values, we get,

Thus, the value of c is 2.

b) proportion of contaminating particles are PM10

We have to evaluate

c) proportion of contaminating particles are PM2.5

d)  proportion of the PM10 particles are PM2.5

the one on the bottom left

step-by-step explanation:

all of the other ones have a specific pattern

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer
