X and y are normal random variables with e(x) = 2, v(x) = 5, e(y) = 6, v(y) = 8 and cov(x,y)=2. determine the following: e(3x 2y

andriy [413]

The result for the given normal random variables are as follows;

a. E(3X + 2Y) = 18

b. V(3X + 2Y) = 77

c. P(3X + 2Y < 18) = 0.5

d. P(3X + 2Y < 28) = 0.8729

<h3>What is normal random variables?</h3>

Any normally distributed random variable having mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1 is referred to as a standard normal random variable. The letter Z will always be used to represent it.

Now, according to the question;

The given normal random variables are;

E(X) = 2, V(X) = 5, E(Y) = 6, and V(Y) = 8.

Part a.

Consider E(3X + 2Y)

$\begin{aligned}E(3 X+2 Y) &=3 E(X)+2 E(Y) \\&=(3) (2)+(2)(6 )\\&=18\end{aligned}$

Part b.

Consider V(3X + 2Y)

$\begin{aligned}V(3 X+2 Y) &=3^{2} V(X)+2^{2} V(Y) \\&=(9)(5)+(4)(8) \\&=77\end{aligned}$

Part c.

Consider P(3X + 2Y < 18)

A normal random variable is also linear combination of two independent normal random variables.

$3 X+2 Y \sim N(18,77)$

Thus,

$P(3 X+2 Y < 18)=0.5$

Part d.

Consider P(3X + 2Y < 28)

$Z=\frac{(3 X+2 Y-18)}{\sqrt{77}}$

$\begin{aligned} P(3X + 2Y < 28)&=P\left(\frac{3 X+2 Y-18}{\sqrt{77}} < \frac{28-18}{\sqrt{77}}\right) \\&=P(Z < 1.14) \\&=0.8729\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the values for the given normal random variables are found.

The correct question is-

X and Y are independent, normal random variables with E(X) = 2, V(X) = 5, E(Y) = 6, and V(Y) = 8. Determine the following:

a. E(3X + 2Y)

b. V(3X + 2Y)

c. P(3X + 2Y < 18)

d. P(3X + 2Y < 28)

the gasoline gauge on a van initially read 1/8 full. When 15 gallons were added to the tank the gauge read 3/4 full. How many mo

Nostrana [21]

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.

Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)

15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18

So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.

Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..

To find the percent of a discount, ______________.

Neporo4naja [7]

The correct and best answer would be letter B. To find the percent of a discount, you have to find or solve for the percent of increase from the new price to the original price. This is because you usually have the new price being given to you so you compare it with the old price to know the percent discount.
