Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Apply the distributive law

5x + 5 * 2

2.) Multiply the numbers

5 * 2 = 10 is equivalent to 5x + 10

3.) Group like terms

5x - 3 + 10

4.) Add/subtract the numbers

-3 + 10 = 7 is equivalent to 5x + 7

A number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6. The probability of rolling a 2 is 16

ser-zykov [4K]

Hello there.

<span>A number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6. The probability of rolling a 2 is 16
what is the probability of not rolling a 2?

Answer: I'm guessing that by 16 you meant 1/6. Therefore you do 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6,
Therefore the answer is 5/6.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^</span>

4. A random variable X has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 3. If 2 is added to each value of X, what will the new mean

Ede4ka [16]

Adding 2 to each value of the random variable $X$ makes a new random variable $X+2$ . Its mean would be

$E[X+2]=E[X]+E[2]=E[X]+2$

since expectation is linear, and the expected value of a constant is that constant. $E[X]$ is the mean of $X$ , so the new mean would be

$E[X+2]=10+2=12$

The variance of a random variable $X$ is

$V[X]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2$

so the variance of $X+2$ would be

$V[X+2]=E[(X+2)^2]-E[X+2]^2$

We already know $E[X+2]=12$ , so simplifying above, we get

$V[X+2]=E[X^2+4X+4]-12^2$

$V[X+2]=E[X^2]+4E[X]+4-12^2$

$V[X+2]=(V[X]+E[X]^2)+4E[X]-140$

Standard deviation is the square root of variance, so $V[X]=3^2=9$ .

$\implies V[X+2]=(9+10^2)+4(10)-140=9$

so the standard deviation remains unchanged at 3.

NB: More generally, the variance of $aX+b$ for $a,b\in\mathbb R$ is

$V[aX+b]=a^2V[X]+b^2V[1]$

but the variance of a constant is 0. In this case, $a=1$ , so we're left with $V[X+2]=V[X]$ , as expected.
