A company employee has to print 3145 copies of a 1-page document to be mailed to clients. The company's printer prints 85 pages
per minute. The function f(x)=−85x+3145 represents the number of unprinted pages x minutes after the printing begins. What is the practical domain of function f?
A all whole numbers from 0 to 37
B all multiples of 85 between 0 and 3145
C all real numbers from 0 to 37
D all real numbers from 0 to 3145
The domain is going to be ur x values....the number of minutes therefore, ur domain is : I know it is either A or C.....I am thinking C because it does not have to be a whole minute...it can be 1.5 minutes...so that would eliminate A. final answer is gonna be C
A random variable following a binomial distribution over trials with success probability has PMF
Because it's a proper probability distribution, you know that the sum of all the probabilities over the distribution's support must be 1, i.e.
The mean is given by the expected value of the distribution,
The remaining sum has a summand which is the PMF of yet another binomial distribution with trials and the same success probability, so the sum is 1 and you're left with
You can similarly derive the variance by computing , but I'll leave that as an exercise for you. You would find that , so the variance here would be
The standard deviation is just the square root of the variance, which is
