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

Solve the equation.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like ax2+bx+c, we need to think of 2 numbers such that:

N1⋅N2=a⋅c=1⋅−12=−12

AND

N1+N2=b=−1

After trying out a few numbers we get N1=3 and N2=−4

3⋅−4=−12, and 3+(−4)=−1

x2−x−12=x2−4x+3x−12

x(x−4)+3(x−4)=0

(x+3)(x−4)=0

Now we equate the factors to zero.

x+3=0,x=−3

x−4=0,x=4
