The warranty on a machine specifies that it will be replaced at failure or age 4, whichever occurs first. the machines age at failure, x, has density function:

f(x) = 1/5 for 0 0 otherwise

let y be the age of the machine at the time of replacement.
determine the variance of y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).

Solution to the problem

Since the warranty on a machine specifies that it will be replaced at failure or age 4 and the distribution for X is defined between 0 and 5 then if we define the random variable Y ="the age of the machine at the time of replacement" we know that the values for Y needs to be between 0 and 4 or between 4 and and we can define the following density function:

for other case

Now we can apply the definition of expected value and we have this:

And for the second moment we have:

And the variance would be given by:

step-by-step explanation:

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
