A garden store has the following miscellaneous bulbs in a basket:

1 answer:

4 0

Okay. Since we know that the customer before them bought one of each type of bulb, we can subtract one bulb from each type so now, here is what the store has:

5 amaryllis

6 daffodils

3 lilies

2 tulips

Next, let’s find the probability of the customer picking an amaryllis.

We know there are 5 amaryllis, so we can put that as the numerator.

Next, we have to add up all the flowers to get the denominator.

5+6+3+2

I got 16.

So now we have 5/16

So, that is our answer! 5/16, or as a decimal 0.3125, or as a percentage 31.25%.

Hope this helps! Comment if you have any questions! :)

Answer:

The expected value of X is $E(X)=\frac{2754}{73} \approx 37.73$ and the variance of X is $Var(X)=\frac{226192}{5329} \approx 42.45$

The expected value of Y is $E(Y)=\frac{73}{2} \approx 36.5$ and the variance of Y is $Var(Y)=\frac{179}{4} \approx 44.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let X be a discrete random variable with set of possible values D and probability mass function p(x). The expected value, denoted by E(X) or $\mu_x$ , is

$E(X)=\sum_{x\in D} x\cdot p(x)$

The probability mass function $p_{X}(x)$ of X is given by

$p_{X}(28)=\frac{28}{146} \\\\p_{X}(32)=\frac{32}{146} \\\\p_{X}(42)=\frac{42}{146} \\\\p_{X}(44)=\frac{44}{146}$

Since the bus driver is equally likely to drive any of the 4 buses, the probability mass function $p_{Y}(x)$ of Y is given by

$p_{Y}(28)=p_{Y}(32)=p_{Y}(42)=p_{Y}(44)=\frac{1}{4}$

The expected value of X is

$E(X)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{X}(x)$

$E(X)=28\cdot \frac{28}{146}+32\cdot \frac{32}{146} +42\cdot \frac{42}{146} +44 \cdot \frac{44}{146}\\\\E(X)=\frac{392}{73}+\frac{512}{73}+\frac{882}{73}+\frac{968}{73}\\\\E(X)=\frac{2754}{73} \approx 37.73$

The expected value of Y is

$E(Y)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{Y}(x)$

$E(Y)=28\cdot \frac{1}{4}+32\cdot \frac{1}{4} +42\cdot \frac{1}{4} +44 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y)=146\cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y)=\frac{73}{2} \approx 36.5$

(b) Let X have probability mass function p(x) and expected value E(X). Then the variance of X, denoted by V(X), is

$V(X)=\sum_{x\in D} (x-\mu)^2\cdot p(x)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2$

The variance of X is

$E(X^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{X}(x)$

$E(X^2)=28^2\cdot \frac{28}{146}+32^2\cdot \frac{32}{146} +42^2\cdot \frac{42}{146} +44^2 \cdot \frac{44}{146}\\\\E(X^2)=\frac{10976}{73}+\frac{16384}{73}+\frac{37044}{73}+\frac{42592}{73}\\\\E(X^2)=\frac{106996}{73}$

$Var(X)=E(X^2)-(E(X))^2\\\\Var(X)=\frac{106996}{73}-(\frac{2754}{73})^2\\\\Var(X)=\frac{106996}{73}-\frac{7584516}{5329}\\\\Var(X)=\frac{7810708}{5329}-\frac{7584516}{5329}\\\\Var(X)=\frac{226192}{5329} \approx 42.45$

The variance of Y is

$E(Y^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{Y}(x)$

$E(Y^2)=28^2\cdot \frac{1}{4}+32^2\cdot \frac{1}{4} +42^2\cdot \frac{1}{4} +44^2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y^2)=196+256+441+484\\\\E(Y^2)=1377$

$Var(Y)=E(Y^2)-(E(Y))^2\\\\Var(Y)=1377-(\frac{73}{2})^2\\\\Var(Y)=1377-\frac{5329}{4}\\\\Var(Y)=\frac{179}{4} \approx 44.75$

Are there any numbers that go into 78 and 780

Kryger [21]

Are there any numbers that go into 78 and 780?

78 ÷ 2 = 39
780 ÷ 2 = 390

2 can be a number that goes in 78 and 780.

Arada [10]

Answer:

E, F, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Im just learning about these kind of things and this is a challenging question not going to lie.

I chose B because expanding and building more factories is apart of economics. You need more land to expand your business, but this will also affect the economy.

C seems like a good answer also because writing about economic trends is an important thing in economics. This also helps others learn out the economy and what not to do and what to do to help make our environment a better place.

I chose E because starting a business is apart of economics. A lot of business are apart of economic systems and help money come into our economy.

F is a good answer for me because the U.S government has been apart of America's economic system for a long time just like they are involved with everything else. The government is a big help and a big part of our economy, especially for america.
