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

and standard deviation be?

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 2-column table has 4 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 1, 0, 1, 2. The second column is labeled f (x)
telo118 [61]

The decay factor of the exponential function given in the table is of \frac{2}{3}.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, we have that when x increases by 1, y decreases by a factor of 3, hence the decay rate r is found as follows:

1 - r = \frac{1}{3}

r = 1 - \frac{1}{3}

r = \frac{2}{3}
