30 lemon candies he give his friend.

It is given that a boy had 320 candies. There were 2 flavors. 7/16 were orange flavor and the rest were lemon. He gave his friend 30 orange candies and some lemon ones.

320 (7/16)  =   140  were orange

320 - 140  =  180  were lemon

Let x be the number of lemon ones he gave  away

So,

[ 140 - 30 ]  / [ 180 - x ] =  11/15

110  =  (11/15) ( 180 - x )

(15/11) (110)  = 180 - x

150  = 180  - x

x = 180  - 150  =   30

Answer:

The best estimate of the probability of getting a green marble from this bag of 50 marbles is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andre gets 1 green marble out of 4 trials.

For Andre, the probability of getting 1 green marble is 1/4.

Jada gets 5 green marbles out of 12 trials.

For Jada, the probability of getting 1 green marble is 5/12.

Noah gets 3 green marbles out of 9 trials.

For Noah, the probability of getting 1 green marble is 3/9.

Hence, the best estimate of the probability of getting a green marble from this bag = (1/4 + 5/12 + 3/9)/3 = [(9 + 15 + 12)/36]/3 = 1/3.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! Find the length of DF
Leto [7]

Answer:

190.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 y - 3 x - 8 = 3 y + 4 x - 1 | (AB=DE)

4 y + 10 x + 3 = -2 y - 17 x + 9 | (BC=EF)

x = -16/5, y = 77/5

DF=AC=-27x+5y+27=190.4

There you go, have a great day

grigory [225]
This is a division problem: 

Each box holds 20 bags.

800 bags / 20 bags per box = # of boxes 

40 boxes are needed.

Square of a standard normal: Warmup 1.0 point possible (graded, results hidden) What is the mean ????[????2] and variance ??????
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1

Var(X^2)= 3-(1)^2 =2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the moment generating function for the normal model given by:

\phi(t) = E[e^{tX}]

And this function is very useful when the distribution analyzed have exponentials and we can write the generating moment function can be write like this:

\phi(t) = C \int_{R} e^{tx} e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}} dx = C \int_R e^{-\frac{x^2}{2} +tx} dx = e^{\frac{t^2}{2}} C \int_R e^{-\frac{(x-t)^2}{2}}dx

And we have that the moment generating function can be write like this:

\phi(t) = e^{\frac{t^2}{2}

And we can write this as an infinite series like this:

\phi(t)= 1 +(\frac{t^2}{2})+\frac{1}{2} (\frac{t^2}{2})^2 +....+\frac{1}{k!}(\frac{t^2}{2})^k+ ...

And since this series converges absolutely for all the possible values of tX as converges the series e^2, we can use this to write this expression:

E[e^{tX}]= E[1+ tX +\frac{1}{2} (tX)^2 +....+\frac{1}{n!}(tX)^n +....]

E[e^{tX}]= 1+ E[X]t +\frac{1}{2}E[X^2]t^2 +....+\frac{1}{n1}E[X^n] t^n+...

and we can use the property that the convergent power series can be equal only if they are equal term by term and then we have:

\frac{1}{(2k)!} E[X^{2k}] t^{2k}=\frac{1}{k!} (\frac{t^2}{2})^k =\frac{1}{2^k k!} t^{2k}

And then we have this:

E[X^{2k}]=\frac{(2k)!}{2^k k!}, k=0,1,2,...

And then we can find the E[X^2]

E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1

And we can find the variance like this :

Var(X^2) = E[X^4]-[E(X^2)]^2

And first we find:

E[X^4]= \frac{4!}{2^2 2!}= 3

And then the variance is given by:

Var(X^2)= 3-(1)^2 =2
