Answer:

The least amount is 75 dollars.

The biggest amount is 125 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function will help us determine a  range of possible values since we do not know the exact amount of money.

Defining the function.

Let x be the exact amount of money in my pocket, we can define the equation

And we know that the difference between the exact amount of money with 100 dollars must be either 25 dollars more than what we estimated, or 25 dollars less than the estimation.  So we can write:

We have a difference inside an absolute value, since we know the difference must be either +25 or -25.

Solving for x

Using the definition of absolute value we have

So if the inside of the absolute value is positive we have the first line of the piece-wise function, that is

Solving for x give us

If the inside of the absolute value is negative we have to use the second line of the piece-wise function definition

Solving for x give us

So the least amount of money in my pocket is 75 dollars and the biggest amount is 125 dollars.

Λ represents the average rate, and the expected number of events in a given time frame for the ____________ distribution.
enot [183]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Poisson (A.)

Step-by-step explanation:

A Poisson distribution is used to model the number of events occurring within a given time interval, when the average number of times that the event occurs within the time interval is given.

Lambda ( λ ) is a rate parameter in Poisson's distribution, and it is used to represent "event/time", and it simply represents <em>the expected number of events in the interval.</em>

Identify which of the following is most appropriate: discrete random variable, continuous random variable, or not a random varia
liraira [26]

Answer:

A.) Continuous random variable ;Not a random variable ; Discrete random Variable ; Continuous random variable ; discrete random variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify which is most appropriate category for the sample data given below :

a. Exact weights of the next 100 babies born in the United States

This is a continuous random varibake as it could take up any value including decimals in other to specify the exact weight of an individual.

b. Responses to the survey question "Which political party do you prefer?"

Not a random variable as the outcome to this question isn't numerical.

c. Numbers of spins of roulette wheels required to get the number 7

This is a discrete random variable as the number of roulette spins would be a whole number within a specified fic range.

d. Exact foot lengths of humans

Continuous random variable

The exact foot length of human would vary greatly and in a bid to give an exact value, foot length will most definitely take up decimal values

e. Shoe sizes (such as 8 or 8½) of humans.

This is also a discrete random variable as shoe sizes are restricted to a specific range. Even with the inclusion of 1/2 in the measurement, there are no values inbetween (8 and 8 1/2) which will be the same for the remaining value range.
