Answer:
a = 3, b = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the first equation for y, we get ...
2y +16 = 6x . . . . . given
y = 8 +3x . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 3x -8 . . . . . . . subtract 8
In order for the system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation must be the same as this:
y = ax +b
a = 3, b = -8
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
x+1=0(squared).
x+1=0 (anything raise to the power 0 is 0
collect like terms =x=-1
therefore x=-1
The expected value of the discrete distribution, if you have to pay $.50 to pick one package at random, is of -$0.08.
<h3>What is the mean of a discrete distribution?</h3>
The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>.
For this problem, considering the cost of $0.5, the distribution is given as follows:
- P(X = 0.2) = 12/(12 + 15 + 23) = 12/50 = 0.24.
- P(X = -0.1) = 15/(12 + 15 + 23) = 15/50 = 0.3.
- P(X = -0.2) = 23/(12 + 15 + 23) = 23/50 = 0.46.
Hence the expected value is given by:
E(X) = 0.2 x 0.24 - 0.3 x 0.1 - 0.2 x 0.46 = -$0.08.
