Can someone please help me on Number 2? Thank you

If XX is a binomial random variable, compute the mean, the standard deviation, and the variance for each of the following cases:

Liula [17]

Answer:

(a) The mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 1.60, 0.96 and 0.98 respectively.

(b) The mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 3.20, 0.64 and 0.80 respectively.

(c) The mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 1.50, 0.75 and 0.87 respectively.

(d) The mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 4.00, 0.80 and 0.89 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The mean, variance and standard deviation of X are:

$\mu=np\\\sigma^{2}=np(1-p)\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

(a)

For n = 4 and p = 0.40 compute the mean, variance and standard deviation of X as follows:

$\mu=np=4\times0.40=1.60\\\sigma^{2}=np(1-p)=4\times0.40\times(1-0.40)=0.96\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{0.96}=0.98$

Thus, the mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 1.60, 0.96 and 0.98 respectively.

(b)

For n = 4 and p = 0.80 compute the mean, variance and standard deviation of X as follows:

$\mu=np=4\times0.80=3.20\\\sigma^{2}=np(1-p)=4\times0.80\times(1-0.80)=0.64\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{0.64}=0.80$

Thus, the mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 3.20, 0.64 and 0.80 respectively.

(c)

For n = 3 and p = 0.50 compute the mean, variance and standard deviation of X as follows:

$\mu=np=3\times0.50=1.50\\\sigma^{2}=np(1-p)=3\times0.50\times(1-0.50)=0.75\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{0.75}=0.87$

Thus, the mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 1.50, 0.75 and 0.87 respectively.

(d)

For n = 5 and p = 0.80 compute the mean, variance and standard deviation of X as follows:

$\mu=np=5\times0.80=4.00\\\sigma^{2}=np(1-p)=5\times0.80\times(1-0.80)=0.80\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{0.80}=0.89$

Thus, the mean, variance and standard deviation of X are 4.00, 0.80 and 0.89 respectively.

When a point moves right on a coordinate plane, what happens to its x-value?

lord [1]

Answer:

The coordinate plane is like a cross right? Just remember if you go right the x value is going into the positive direction, if you go up the y value is also going into the positive direction. And positive direction means the value will increase.

So (3,0), would be further left than (10,0). Or (0,5) would be higher than (0,2) on the graph.

Please help

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line in question is the same as the slope of the line parallel to it. Using y = mx + b, where m is the slope, we find the slope of our line is -3.

Using the pt-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1), we get y - (-1) = -3( x - 2) or y + 1 = -3x + 6. Which leads us to y = -3x + 5. QED
