Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4^{-2}$ = $\frac{1}{-16}$

The multiplicative inverse is basically the opposite reciprocal.

In this case, it is 16

$16 = 4^2$

Determine the volume of the shaded area.

vovikov84 [41]

The shaded area in the image is 86.1 square inches.

<h3>How to get the shaded area?</h3>

Remember that for a circle of diameter D, the area is given by:

A = pi*(D/2)²

Where pi = 3.14, and here we have half-circles, so we need to add a factor 0.5

The area of the shaded figure, the area of the shaded figure will be the area of the half circle with diameter of 17in minus the area of the half circle with a diameter of 8.5 in, so the area is:

area = 0.5*3.14*(17in/2)² - 0.5*3.14*(8.5in/2)² = 86.1 in²

X and y are normal random variables with e(x) = 2, v(x) = 5, e(y) = 6, v(y) = 8 and cov(x,y)=2. determine the following: e(3x 2y

andriy [413]

The result for the given normal random variables are as follows;

a. E(3X + 2Y) = 18

b. V(3X + 2Y) = 77

c. P(3X + 2Y < 18) = 0.5

d. P(3X + 2Y < 28) = 0.8729

<h3>What is normal random variables?</h3>

Any normally distributed random variable having mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1 is referred to as a standard normal random variable. The letter Z will always be used to represent it.

Now, according to the question;

The given normal random variables are;

E(X) = 2, V(X) = 5, E(Y) = 6, and V(Y) = 8.

Part a.

Consider E(3X + 2Y)

$\begin{aligned}E(3 X+2 Y) &=3 E(X)+2 E(Y) \\&=(3) (2)+(2)(6 )\\&=18\end{aligned}$
