He goes to the gym 0, 2, or 3 days per week.  

Let's assume P(0 days)=p, P(2 days)=q, and P(3 days) = r.

So, p+q+r = 1

E(X)= E(x=0)*P(0 days) + E(x=2)*P(2 days) + E(x=3)*P(3 days)

E(X) = 0*p + 2*q + 3*r = 2q + 3r

Given is the value of P(0 days) = p = 0.1

Given is the expected value of number of days is E(X) = 2.05

Therefore, we have 0.1 + q + r = 1 and 2q + 3r = 2.05

Or, q + r = 0.9 and 2q + 3r = 2.05

Solving the two equations :-

(2q+3r)-2*(q+r) = 2.05-2(0.9)

r = 0.25

q = 0.65

Therefore, P(2 days) = 0.65 and P(3 days) = 0.25

For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.

For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:

0 : 0.1

2 : x

3 : y

So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)

Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:

2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)

Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:

0.1 + x + y = 1

x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:

2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05

1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05

1.8 + y = 2.05

y = 0.25

Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65

Therefore we can conclude that:

The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25

The triangle has size with the lengths of 3 cm 13 cm and 14 cm Is it a right triangle?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

No, it is not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let H = 14 cm

B = 3 cm

P = 13 cm

According to pythagoras theorem:

H^2 = P^2 + B^2

14^2 = 13^2 + 3^2

196 = 169 + 9

196 is not equal to 178

Hence, it is not a right triangle

What is the difference in Fahrenheit degrees between a temperature of 0C and a temperature of 15C?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

27^{\circ}F

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

F=1.8C+32

to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.

When C_1=0^{\circ}C, then

F_1=1.8\cdot 0+32\\ \\F_1=32^{\circ}F

When C_2=15^{\circ}C, then

F_2=1.8\cdot 15+32\\ \\F_2=27+32=59^{\circ}F

Difference:

F_2-F_1=59^{\circ}F-32^{\circ}F=27^{\circ}F

One circular table has a diameter of 8 ft, and another circular table has a diameter of 12 ft. How much greater is the area of t
mezya [45]

Answer:

20π sq ft ≈ 62.83 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of table with diameter 8 ft = π*8^2/4 = 16π

Area of table with diameter 12 ft = π*12^2/4 = 36π

Difference between the area of the tables ;

= 36π - 16π

= 20π sq ft ≈ 62.83 sq ft                              ( π = 3.14)
