U can find the reciprocal of a number by flipping the number.
example : the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1....the reciprocal of 2/3 = 3/2.

the reciprocal of x = 2/7.....that means x = 7/2

5 / (7/2) = when dividing fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply
5 * 2/7 =
10/7 or 1 3/7 <==

A commuter must pass through 5 traffic lights on her way to work and will have to stop at each one that is red. She estimates th

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

(a) The mean or expected value of <em>X </em>is 2.2.

(b) The standard deviation of <em>X</em> is 1.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of times the traffic light is red when a commuter passes through the traffic lights.

The probability distribution of <em>X</em> id provided.

The formula to compute the mean or expected value of <em>X </em>is:

$\mu=E(X)=\sum x.P(X=x)$

The formula to compute the standard deviation of <em>X </em>is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{E(X^{2})-(E(X))^{2}}$

The formula of E (X²) is:

$E(X^{2})=\sum x^{2}.P(X=x)$

(a)

Compute the expected value of <em>X</em> as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x.P(X=x)\\=(0\times0.06)+(1\times0.25)+(2\times0.35)+(3\times0.15)+(4\times0.13)+(5\times0.06)\\=2.22\\\approx2.2$

Thus, the mean or expected value of <em>X </em>is 2.2.

(b)

Compute the value of E (X²) as follows:

$E(X^{2})=\sum x^{2}.P(X=x)\\=(0^{2}\times0.06)+(1^{2}\times0.25)+(2^{2}\times0.35)+(3^{2}\times0.15)+(4^{2}\times0.13)+(5^{2}\times0.06)\\=6.58$

Compute the standard deviation of <em>X</em> as follows:

$\sigma=\sqrt{E(X^{2})-(E(X))^{2}}\\=\sqrt{6.58-(2.22)^{2}}\\=\sqrt{1.6516}\\=1.285\\\approx1.3$

Thus, the standard deviation of <em>X</em> is 1.3.
