Let the capacity of the large pitcher be L cups and the capacity of the small pitcher be S cups.1) L+2S = 8 "Two small pitchers (2S) and one large pitcher (L) can hold 8 cups of water."2) L-S = 2 "One large pitcher (L) minus one small pitcher (S) constitute 2 cups of water."Solve equation 2) for L---> (L = S+2) and substitue into equation 1) to get:1a) (S+2)+2S = 8 Solve for S.
1b) 3S+2 = 8 Subtract 2 from both sides.1c) 3S = 6 Divide both sides by 3.1d) S = 2 andL = S+2L = 2+2 = 4The large pitcher can hold 4 cups.The small pitcher can hold 2 cups.

Please please help!!!! According to the probability distribution below, what is the expected value of X? X 0 1 2 3 4 5 P(X) 0.3
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

D.) The expected value is 1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a probability distribution is evaluated using the formula.

Expected Value, E(X)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}x_iP(x_i)

Therefore, from the given probability distribution, we have:

E(X)=(0*0.3)+(1*0.2)+(2*0.16)+(3*0.2)+(4*0.04)+(5*0.1)

E(X)=1.78

The Expected value of X is 1.78.

The correct option is D.

32% of 1600 = 512
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

  • 64%: 1024
  • 96%: 1536
  • 132%: 2112
  • 232%: 3712

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>64% of 1600</u>

  64% of 1600 = 2 × (32% of 1600) = 2×512

  64% of 1600 = 1024

<u>96% of 1600</u>

  96% of 1600 = 3 × (32% of 1600) = 3×512

  96% of 1600 = 1536

<u>132% of 1600</u>

  132% of 1600 = (100% of 1600) + (32% of 1600) = 1600 + 512

  132% of 1600 = 2112

<u>232% of 1600</u>

  232% of 1600 = (100% of 1600) + (132% of 1600) = 1600 +2112

  232% of 1600 = 3712
