A particular brand of dishwasher soap is sold in three sizes: 25 oz, 45 oz, and 60 oz. Twenty percent of all purchasers select a

25-oz box, 50% select a 45-oz box, and the remaining 30% choose a 60-oz box. Let X1 and X2 denote the package sizes selected by two independently selected purchasers. (a) Determine the sampling distribution of X. x 25 35 45 42.5 52.5 60 p(x) Calculate E(X). E(X) = oz Compare E(X) to μ. E(X) > μ E(X) < μ E(X) = μ

Answer:

(a) <u>Sampling distribution </u>

P(25) = 0,04

P(35) = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0,2

P(42,5) = 0.06 + 0.06 = 0,12

P(45) = 0,25

P(52,5) = 0.15 + 0.15 = 0,3

P(60) = 0,09

(b) E(X) = 45.5 oz

(c) E(X) = μ

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable we want to compute is

X=(X1+X2)/2

For this we need to know all the possible combinations of X1 and X2 and the probability associated with them.

(a) <u>Sampling distribution </u>

Calculating all the 9 combinations (3 repeated, so we end up with 6 unique combinations):

P(25) = P(X1=25) * P(X2=25) = p25*p25 = 0.2 * 0.2 = 0,04

P(35) = p25*p45+p45*p25 = 0.2*0.5 + 0.5*0.2 = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0,2

P(42,5) = p25*p60 + p60*p25 = 0.2*0.3 + 0.3*0.2 = 0.06 + 0.06 = 0,12

P(45) = p45*p45 = 0.5 * 0.5 = 0,25

P(52,5) = p45*p60 + p60*p45 = 0.5*0.3 + 0.3*0.5 = 0.15 + 0.15 = 0,3

P(60) = p60*p60 = 0.3*0.3 = 0,09

(b) Using the sample distribution, E(X) can be expressed as:

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^{6}P_{i}*X_{i}\\E(X)=0.04*25+0.2*35+0.12*42.5+0.3*52.5+0.09*60 = 45.5

The value of E(X) is 45.5 oz.

(c) The value of μ can be calculated as

\mu=\sum_{i=1}^{3}P_{i}*X_{i}\\\mu=0.2*25+0.5*45+0.3*60=45.5

We can conclude that E(X)=μ

We could have arrived to this conclusion by applying

E(X)=E((X1+X2)/2)=E(X1)/2+E(X2)/2\\\\\mu = E(X1)=E(X2)\\\\E(X)=\mu /2+ \mu /2 = \mu

A store has 263 board games. Sit has 100 fewer puzzles than board games. The store has 10 more action figures than puzzles. Writ
Yuri [45]

so is it has 100 puzzles less than board games and you have 263 board games just subtract 263-100 which is 163. if it has 10 more action figures than puzzles and you have 163 puzzles you would add 10 to 163 which would give you 173 action figures.

163 puzzles and 173 action figures is the answer

Input in stand form the equation of the given line.
Daniel [21]

Answer:

  3x +8y = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation is a good place to start.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . equation through (h, k) with slope m

Filling in your numbers gives ...

  y +4 = -3/8(x -5)

Multiplying by 8, we get

  8y + 32 = -3x + 15

Adding 3x-32 puts this in standard form.

  3x + 8y = -17

_____

Standard form is ...

  ax +by = c

where a, b, c are mutually-prime integers and the leading coefficient is positive. (If a=0, the leading coefficient is b.)

describe the graph of y=x^2 in words so that someone in a different room could understand exactly what it looks like explain wha
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

* y = x² is a quadratic function represented graphically by parabola opened upward with minimum vertex  (0 , 0) and y-intercept = 0

* The graph will move vertically up 5 units and its vertex will be

 (0 , 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ y = ax² + bx + c is a quadratic function

  Represented graphically by parabola, its vertex is (-b/2a , f(-b/2a))

∵ The value of a > 0 then the parabola open upward

∴ Its vertex is minimum

∵ The value of a < 0 then the parabola oped downward

∴ Its vertex is maximum

∵ The coefficient of x² = 1

∴ The parabola open upward

∵ The coefficient of x = 0

∴ Its vertex is (0 , 0) ⇒ x = 0/2(1) = 0 , f(0) = (0)² = 0

∴ The y-intercept = 0

∴ The parabola is oped upward , has minimum vertex (0 , 0)

   and passing through the origin

∵ 5 is added to y = x² , that means we add 5 to f(x) ⇒ f(x) + 5

∴ y = x² + 5 ⇒ that means the graph move vertically up 5 units

∴ Its vertex will be (0 , 5)
