A lake contains 4 distinct types of fish. Suppose that each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these types. Let Y de

a= μ-3.16*σ , b= μ+3.16*σ if each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these 4 distinct types.

<h3>What is meant by Chebyshev inequality?</h3>

Chebyshev's inequality is a probability theory that ensures that, over a vast range of probability distributions, no more than a particular proportion of values would be present within a selected limits or range as from mean. In other words, only a certain fish caught will be discovered within a given range of the distribution's mean.

The formula for which no more than a particular number of values can exceed is 1/K2; in other words, 1/K2 of a distribution's values can be more than or equal to K standard deviations away from the distribution's mean. Furthermore, it asserts that 1-(1/K2) of a distribution's values must be within, but not include, K standard deviations of the distribution's mean.

How to solve?

from Chebyshev's inequality for Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

where

Y =  the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type

μ = expected value of Y

σ = standard deviation of Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) = probability that Y is within k standard deviations from the mean

k= parameter

thus for

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

P{a≤Y≤b} ≥ 0.90 →  1-1/k² = 0.90 → k = 3.16

then

P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

using one-sided Chebyshev inequality (Cantelli's inequality)

P(Y- μ≥ λ) ≥ 1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)

P{Y≥b} ≥ 0.90  →  1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)=  1- 1/(1+(λ/σ)²)=0.90 → 3= λ/σ → λ= 3*σ

then for

P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

David used 14 1/4 pounds of clay to make 3 pots. At this rate, how many pounds of clay would he need to make 10 pots?
Leona [35]

Answer: David would need 47 1/2 pounds of clay to make 10 pots

Step-by-step explanation:

14 1/4 = 14.25

14.25/3 = 4.75

4.75*10 = 47.5

47.5 = 47 1/2

P(red)=3/12
Kitty [74]

Answer:

E) 9/12

Step-by-step explanation:

well first you need to know the number of non-red objects. There are 12 total so 12-3=9 non-red objects

9 out of 12 are non-red which is the exact same as the number of chances you have. 9/12

The three angle bisectors of ΔABC intersect at point P. Point P is the
lisabon 2012 [21]
<h3>Answer: C) incenter</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

If you were to intersect the angle bisectors (at least two of them), then you would locate the incenter. The incenter is the center of the incircle which is a circle where it is as large as possible, but does not spill over and outside the triangle. Therefore this circle fits snugly inside the triangle.

--------------

extra notes:

* The centroid is found by intersecting at least two median lines

* The circumcenter is found by intersecting at least two perpendicular bisector lines

* The orthocenter is found by intersecting at least two altitude lines

* The incenter is always inside the triangle; hence the "in" as part of the name. The centroid shares this property as well because the medians are completely contained within any triangle. The other two centers aren't always guaranteed to be inside the triangle.

* The red lines cut each angle of the triangle into two equal or congruent pieces.
