Two random variables x and y are independent if the value of x does not affect the value of y. If the variables are not​ indepen

dent, they are dependent. A new random variable can be formed by finding the sum or difference of random variables. If a random variable x has mean μx and a random variable y has mean μy then the means of the sum and difference of the variables are given by the following equations. μx+y=μx+μy μx−y=μx−μy The distribution of a​ test's scores for​ college-bound male seniors has a mean of 1528 and a standard deviation of 319. The distribution of a​ test's scores for​ college-bound female seniors has a mean of 1498 and a standard deviation of 304. One male and one female are randomly selected. Assume their scores are independent.What is the average sum of their scores? What is the average difference of their scores?

Answer: \mu_{x+y} = 3026

              \mu_{x-y}= 30

Step-by-step explanation: Average sum of the female and male's test score is the sum of expected value of each gender:

\mu_{x+y}=\mu_{x}+\mu_{y}

Assuming x represents the random male selected and y represents the random female selected:

\mu_{x+y}=1528+1498

\mu_{x+y}= 3026

The average sum of their scores is 3026.

Average difference is the difference between the expected value (mean) of each gender:

\mu_{x-y}=\mu_{x}-\mu_{y}

\mu_{x-y}= 1528 - 1498

\mu_{x-y}= 30

The average difference of their scores is 30.

4. find the real number roots. sqrt-0.25
e-lub [12.9K]

Given is square root of a negative real number, i.e. \sqrt{-0.25}

When we find square root of positive real numbers, we get Real answers.

But when we find square root of negative real numbers, we get Imaginary answers. To solve them, we can split the given negative number into product of -1 and the number itself but with positive sign. e.g. -4 = -1 x 4.

For square root of -1, we use english letter 'i' called Imaginary unit i.e. \sqrt{-1} = i

Now we can use -0.25 = -1 x 0.25

\sqrt{-0.25} =\sqrt{-1*0.25} \\\\ \sqrt{-0.25} =\sqrt{-1}*\sqrt{0.25} \\\\ \sqrt{-0.25} =i*0.5 \\\\ \sqrt{-0.25} =0.5i

Hence, "0.5i" is the final answer.

Lin took 75 boxes of carrots and 80 boxes of potatoes to the market. She sold 68 boxes of carrots and 71 boxes of potatoes. How
enot [183]

For this case we have:

x: Represents the number of carrot boxes

y: Represents the number of boxes of potatoes

Initially we have:

x = 75\\y = 80

If you sold 68 boxes of carrot we have:

x = 75-68 = 7

If you sold 71 boxes of potatoes, we have:

y = 80-71 = 9

The number of boxes I take home is given by:x + y = 7 + 9 = 16

ANswer:

7 boxes of carrots left

There are 9 boxes of potatoes left

A total of 16 boxes remain
