69 in. to ft

Answer to Problem 1RE
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given: The units, 69 inches.
Explanation:
It is required to convert 69 inches to feet. There are 12 inches in one foot, feet should be placed in the numerator and the inches should be placed in thedenominator of the unit fractions as shown below:
Convert 69 inches into feet using the equation as follows:
Hence, the amount of 69 inches into feet comes out to be

For a randomly selected couple dining at this restaurant, let X = the cost of the man's dinner and Y = the cost of the woman's dinner. The joint pmf of X and Y is given in the following table. p(x, y) 15 y 12 20 12 0.05 0.10 0.35 x 15 0.00 0.20 0.10 20 0.05 0.05 0.10 (a) Compute the marginal pmf of X. x 12 Px(x) Compute the marginal pmf of Y. y Pyly) 12 15 20 15 20 (b) What is the probability that the man's and the woman's dinner cost at most $15 each? (c) Are X and Y independent? Justify your answer. X and Y are independent because P(x, y) = Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) =Px(x) · Pyly). X and Y are not independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y). X and Y are independent because P(x, y) * Px(x) · Py(y). (d) What is the expected total cost, in dollars, of the dinner for the two people? $ (e) Suppose that when a couple opens fortune cookies at the conclusion of the meal, they find the…arrow_forward
- Let X = the time between two successive arrivals at the drive-up window of a local bank. If X has an exponential distribution with λ = 1, (which is identical to a standard gamma distribution with α = 1), compute the following. (If necessary, round your answer to three decimal places.) (a) the expected time between two successive arrivals (b) the standard deviation of the time between successive arrivals (c) P(X ≤ 1) (d) P(2 ≤ X ≤ 4) You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tablesarrow_forwardIn each case, determine the value of the constant c that makes the probability statement correct.

Using a list of 50 words, the experiment measured the rate of vocabulary memorization at different times during a continuous 5-hour study session. The average rate of learning for the entire class was inversely proportional to the time spent studying and was given approximately by V'(t) = 15 t 1≤t≤5 Average cost. The total cost (in dollars) of printing x dictionaries is C'(x) = 20,000+ 10x. (A) Find the average cost per unit if 1,000 dictionaries are produced.
