The Solution:

Given:

Required:

Find the standard deviation of the probability distribution.

Step 1:

Find the expected value of the probability distribution.

E(x)=\mu=\sum_{i\mathop{=}0}^3x_iP_(x_i)\begin{gathered} \mu=(0\times0.25)+(1\times0.05)+(2\times0.15)+(3\times0.55) \\  \\ \mu=0+0.05+0.30+1.65=2.0 \end{gathered}

Step 2:

Find the standard deviation.

Standard\text{ Deviation}=\sqrt{\sum_{i\mathop{=}0}^3(x_i-\mu)^2P_(x_i)}=(0-2)^2(0.25)+(1-2)^2(0.05)+(2-2)^2(0.15)+(3-2)^2(0.55)=4(0.25)+1(0.05)+0(0.15)+1(0.55)=1+0.05+0+0.55=1.60

Thus, the standard deviation is 1.60

Answer:

1.60

The equation A = p + prt is used to find the accumulated amount, A, of an investment with principal, P, a certain interest rate,
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

  r equals start fraction cap a minus p over p t end fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the term non containing r, then divide by the coefficient of r.

  A=p+prt\\\\A-p=prt\\\\\dfrac{A-p}{pt}=r

Consider the function f(x) = 9^x. Which statement MUST be true? A) f(4)/f(1) = f(8)/f(5) B) f(4)·f(1) = f(8)·f(5) C) f(4) − f(1)
shtirl [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

the true answer is (A)

the right side : 9^4 / 9^1 = 9^3

the left side : 9^8 / 9^5 = 9^3

two side are equal

Ind the equation of the tangent line to 9x^2+16y^2=52 through (2, -1)
EastWind [94]
Here are the steps.

In order to get the answer, first we need to get the x and y value of the center of the circle by using the equation of a circle (x^2 + y^2 = r^2)

<span>The center is (-9, -4)</span>

Once you get the center point, find the equation of the line (in a form of a radius) from the center point to point (2, -1). Get the slope.

The slope from center to point (2, -1) is 11/3

Finally, get the negative reciprocal of the slope from the previous step and form the equation using slope-intercept form ( y=mx + b). Then, that's the equation of the tangent line.

The slope of the tangent line is -3/11
The equation is y = -3/11x - 5/11

Simplify ( √ 5)(^3 √ 5) the answer will be a wholenumber and a fraction
arlik [135]

Answer:

\sqrt{5}\cdot\sqrt[3]{5} =\sqrt[6]{5^3} \cdot\sqrt[6]{5^2} =\sqrt[6]{5^5} =5^{(5/6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules of exponents apply, even when they are fractional exponents:

a^b\cdot a^c=a^{b+c}\\\\\sqrt[b]{x^a}=x^{(a/b)}
