Answer:

(a) Probability distribution is prepared below.

(b) The probability that two or fewer heads are observed in three tosses is 0.875.

(c) The probability that at least one head is observed in three tosses is 0.875.

(d) The expected value of X is 1.5.

(e) The standard deviation of X is 2.121.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The complete question is:</u> A fair coin is tossed three times. Let X be the number of heads observed in three tosses of this fair coin.

(a) Find the probability distribution of X.

(b) Find the probability that two or fewer heads are observed in three tosses. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(c) Find the probability that at least one head is observed in three tosses. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(d) Find the expected value of X. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

(e) Find the standard deviation of X. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Now, firstly the sample space obtained in three tosses of a fair coin is given as;

Sample Space (S) = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, TTH, THT, TTT}

(a) The Probability distribution of X is given below;

   Number of Heads (X)         P(X)            X \times P(X)               X^{2} \times P(X)

              0                               \frac{1}{8} = 0.125            0                           0

              1                                \frac{3}{8} = 0.375         0.375                     0.375  

              2                               \frac{3}{8} = 0.375         0.75                          3

              3                               \frac{1}{8} = 0.125       <u>    0.375    </u>              <u>  3.375 </u>

           Total                                                 <u>    1.5        </u>              <u>  6.75    </u>      

(b) The probability that two or fewer heads are observed in three tosses is given by = P(X \leq 2)

      P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

                     = 0.125 + 0.375 + 0.375

                     = 0.875

(c) The probability that at least one head is observed in three tosses is given by = P(X \geq 1)

      P(X \geq 1) =  1 - P(X = 0)

                    =  1 - 0.125

                    =  0.875

(d) The expected value of X = E(X) =  \sum (X \times P(X))

                                                              =  1.5

(e) The Variance of X = V(X) = E(X^{2} ) - ( E(X))^{2}

                                      =  \sum (X^{2}  \times P(X))- (\sum (X \times P(X)))^{2}

                                      =  6.75 - 1.5^{2}  = 4.5

Now, Standard deviation of X = \sqrt{V(X)}

                                                  = \sqrt{4.5}  = 2.121.

This table shows values that represent an exponential function. What is the average rate of change for this function for the int
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

\boxed{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 3, y = 13

When x = 5, y = 37

Subtract both y-values to find the change:

37 - 13 = 24

Average of the change:

\frac{24}{2} = 12

What do I need to do and what are the steps
Viktor [21]
So allison spent 3/5 meaning she saved 2/5 because 3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5

change the 2/5 into decimals by 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

multiply $55 with 0.4
55 x 0.4 = 22

so she ends up saving $22
