An insurance company offers its policyholders a number of different premium payment options. For a randomly selected policyholder, let X 5 the number of months between successive payments. The cdf of X is as follows: 0 x<1
0.30 1< x <3
F(x)= 0.40 3< x <4
0.45 4< x <6
0.60 6< x <12
1 12< x

Required:
a. What is the pmf of x?
b. Using just the cdf, compute P(3< x <6)and P(4< x)

(a)

(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Solving (a): The pmf

This means that we list out the probability of each value of x.

To do this, we simply subtract the current probability value from the next.

So, we have:

The calculation is as follows:

The x values are gotten by considering where the equality sign is in each range.

Solving (b):

This is calculated as:

From the given function

So:

This is calculated as:

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.

∠cbe and ∠deb are same-side interior angles.
