Answer:

p=4

Step-by-step explanation:

4p+2 - 5 = 13

Combine like terms.

4p - 3 = 13

Add 3 to both sides.

4p - 3 + 3 = 13 + 3

4p=16

Divide 4 from both sides.

4p/4=16/4

p=4

The guy above is correct.

Hope this helps!

4. A random variable X has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 3. If 2 is added to each value of X, what will the new mean

Ede4ka [16]

Adding 2 to each value of the random variable $X$ makes a new random variable $X+2$ . Its mean would be

$E[X+2]=E[X]+E[2]=E[X]+2$

since expectation is linear, and the expected value of a constant is that constant. $E[X]$ is the mean of $X$ , so the new mean would be

$E[X+2]=10+2=12$

The variance of a random variable $X$ is

$V[X]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2$

so the variance of $X+2$ would be

$V[X+2]=E[(X+2)^2]-E[X+2]^2$

We already know $E[X+2]=12$ , so simplifying above, we get

$V[X+2]=E[X^2+4X+4]-12^2$

$V[X+2]=E[X^2]+4E[X]+4-12^2$

$V[X+2]=(V[X]+E[X]^2)+4E[X]-140$

Standard deviation is the square root of variance, so $V[X]=3^2=9$ .

$\implies V[X+2]=(9+10^2)+4(10)-140=9$

so the standard deviation remains unchanged at 3.

NB: More generally, the variance of $aX+b$ for $a,b\in\mathbb R$ is

$V[aX+b]=a^2V[X]+b^2V[1]$

but the variance of a constant is 0. In this case, $a=1$ , so we're left with $V[X+2]=V[X]$ , as expected.

A shipment of 24 electric typewriters are rejected if 3 are checked for defects and at least 1 is found to be defective. Find th

Maslowich

Answer:

You keep them if you test 3 and all pass.

There are 18 good ones and 6 bad (making 24)

Chance of first passing is 18/24

If it passes, there are now one less good and one less total.

Chance of second passing is 17/23

If it passes, there are now one less good and one less total.

Chance of second passing is 16/22

Total is (16 x 17 x 18) / (22 x 23 x 24) = about 0.4 (0.403162055 is you really want to know).

So probability all are ok is 0.4

Thus probability you find at least one bad one is 0.6

Hope this helps you out!
