An certain brand of upright freezer is available in three different rated capacities: 16 ft3, 18 ft3, and 20 ft3. Let X = the ra

ted capacity of a freezer of this brand sold at a certain store. Suppose that X has the following pmf.
x 16 18 20
p(x) 0.3 0.1 0.6

(a) Compute E(X), E(X2), and V(X).
(b) If the price of a freezer having capacity X is 60X − 650, what is the expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer?

Answer:

E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6

E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6=349.2

V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2=349.2-(18.6)^2=3.24

The expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer is $466

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we know the probability mass function (pmf) of random variable X.

\left|\begin{array}{c|ccc}x&16&18&20\\p(x)&0.3&0.1&0.6\end{array}\right|

<em>Point a:</em>

  • The Expected value or the mean value of X with set of possible values D, denoted by <em>E(X)</em> or <em>μ </em>is

E(X) = $\sum_{x\in D} x\cdot p(x)

Therefore

E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6

  • If the random variable X has a set of possible values D and a probability mass function, then the expected value of any function h(X), denoted by <em>E[h(X)]</em> is computed by

E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)

So h(X) = X^2 and

E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)\\E[X^2]=$\sum_{D}x^2\cdot p(x)\\ E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6\\E(X^2)=349.2

  • The variance of X, denoted by V(X), is

V(X) = $\sum_{D}E[(X-\mu)^2]=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2

Therefore

V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2\\V(X)=349.2-(18.6)^2\\V(X)=3.24

<em>Point b:</em>

We know that the price of a freezer having capacity X is 60X − 650, to find the expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer you need to:

From the rules of expected value this proposition is true:

E(aX+b)=a\cdot E(x)+b

We have a = 60, b = -650, and <em>E(X)</em> = 18.6. Therefore

The expected price paid by the next customer is

60\cdot E(X)-650=60\cdot 18.6-650=466

the area of a reactangle mirror is 11 11/16 square feet the width of the mirror is 2 2/4 feet. if there is a 5 foot tall space o
77julia77 [94]
So square feet is area which is legnth times width or area=lw or a=lw

width=w=2 2/4
2/4=1/2
w=2 1/2=5/2

a=lw
11 11/16=187/16
187/16=l(5/2)

multiply both sides by 2/5 to clear the fraction (1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1)

374/80=legnth
simplify
374/80=187/40=4 27/40=legnth

legnh must be less than 5 and 4 and 27/40 is less than 5 so it will fit

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf non \ linear, \ non \ linear, \ linear, \ linear}

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equations in the form y = mx + b

If the equation contains exponents then it is non-linear, if not then it is linear.

2xy = 3

This graph forms a curve so it is non-linear

y = 1x³ + 5

This equation is non-linear because it contains an exponent

y = x/3

y = 1/3x + 0

This equation is linear ( no exponent(s) )

2y = 1/2x

y = 1/4x + 0

This equation is linear ( no exponent(s) )
