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

You are planning to invest $5000 in an account earning 9% per year for retirement. a. If you put the $5000 in an account at age
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

A).Amount = $218250

B). Amount = $88700

Step-by-step explanation:

A) .$5000 in an account at age 23, and withdraw it 42 years

Number of years t= 42 years

Principal P = $5000

Rate r= 9%

Number of times compounded n= 42

A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)

A= 5000(1+0.09/42)^(42*42)

A= 5000(1+0.002143)^(1764)

A= 5000(1.002143)^1764

A= 5000(43.65)

A= 218250

Amount = $218250

B).waits 10 years before making the deposit, so that it stays in the account for only 32 years

Number of years t= 32 years

Principal P = $5000

Rate r= 9%

Number of times compounded n= 32

A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)

A= 5000(1+0.09/32)^(32*32)

A= A= 5000(1+0.0028125)^(1024)

A= 5000(1.0028125)^1024

A= 5000(17.74)

A= 88700

Amount = $88700

Please help :) Find the unknown length y in the following pair of similar triangles. y= ?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Y should equal to 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are similar triangles and each of the measurements on the second triangle are divided by two you would do the same for y
