Answer:

E(X)=1*0.74 +2*0.1 +3*0.11+ 4*0.03 +5*0.02=1.49  

Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2 =3.11-(1.49)^2 =0.8899  

Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{0.8899}=0.943  

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

X      1    2    3    4    5

F     74   10  11    3    2

The total number of values are 100, so then we can find the empirical probability dividing the frequency by 100 and we got the followin distribution:

X          1          2        3         4          5

P(X)     0.74   0.10   0.11    0.03    0.02

Previous concepts

In statistics and probability analysis, the expected value "is calculated by multiplying each of the possible outcomes by the likelihood each outcome will occur and then summing all of those values".  

The variance of a random variable Var(X) is the expected value of the squared deviation from the mean of X, E(X).  

And the standard deviation of a random variable X is just the square root of the variance.  

Solution to the problem

In order to calculate the expected value we can use the following formula:  

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)  

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

E(X)=1*0.74 +2*0.1 +3*0.11+ 4*0.03 +5*0.02=1.49  

In order to find the standard deviation we need to find first the second moment, given by :  

E(X^2)=\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)  

And using the formula we got:  

E(X^2)=1^2 *0.74 +2^2 *0.1 +3^2 *0.11 +4^2 0.03 +5^2 *0.02=3.11  

Then we can find the variance with the following formula:  

Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2 =3.11-(1.49)^2 =0.8899  

And then the standard deviation would be given by:  

Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{0.8899}=0.943

A window shaped like a parallelogram has an area of 18 1/3 square feet. The height of the window is 3 1/3 feet. How long us the
Lyrx [107]

The area of a parallelogram can be found in the same way as that of a rectangle, so base x height. To find the base we have to do area ÷ height or 18 1/3 ÷ 3 1/3= 5.5 feet

1) Has zeros at -2 and 4, both being double roots<br><br> 2) As x→∞, y→−∞
irina1246 [14]
-(x+2)^2(x-4)^2

Not that if x= -2 and x=4 they will look like this in an equation: (x+2) and (x-4)
When (x+2) and (x-4) are set equal to zero and you solve for x, x will equal x= -2 and x=4

If they have double roots, they have a multiplicity of 2 (per root) meaning they will bounce off of the x-axis. Multiplicity can be found by using exponents.

The negative in front flips the function over the x-axis and holds true to the given limit.
