Answer:

E(X) = 17.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the expected value of a random X variable that is discrete (X takes specific values ) as:

E(X) =  ∑xp(x)  where x are the specific values of x and p(x) the probability associated with this x value.

In this way the expexted value is

E(X) =  ∑xp(x) =(16*0.6)+(18*0.3)+(20*0.2) = 8+5.4+4 =  17.4

Which list is in order from least to greatest?
NeX [460]

Answer:

The first option.

Explanation:

Since these numbers are given in scientific notation, we must first look at the exponent to determine whether or not it's big or small. Negative exponents are less, so we start with that. Immediately, that eliminates the second and third options as -8 is less than -6 and 3. The last two numbers given in the first and last options, however, both have 3 as the exponent. Now, we look at the number given in front. 2.5 is less than 7, so we know that the first option is in order from least to greatest.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The amount of mango juice needed is 8 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of mango juice needed, we will need to know the amount used the previous week.

Cranberry juice to Mango juice is 3:2 with cranberry used being 4 quarts. Let the quarts of Mango juice used be x

This means;

3/2 = 4/x

1.5 = 4/x

1.5x = 4

x = 4/1.5 quarts

Since they are making 3 times as much punch, the amount of mango juice needed will be 4/1.5 * 3 = 4 * 2 = 8 quarts
