Answer:

The standard deviation of X is 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following distribution:

    x:     0        1         2       3    

P(x):    0.3     0.5     0.2     0.4

We have to find the standard deviation of X.

Formula:

E(x) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\\\E(x) =0(0.3) + 1(0.5) + 2(0.2) + 3(0.4)\\\\E(x) = 2.1\\\\E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\\\E(x^2) =0(0.3) + 1(0.5) + 4(0.2) + 9(0.4)\\\\E(x^2) = 4.9\\\\Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2 = 4.9-(2.1)^2 = 0.49\\\\\sigma(x) = \sqrt{Var(x)} =\sqrt{0.49} = 0.7

Thus, the standard deviation of X is 0.7

The mean income per person in the United States is $44,500, and the distribution of incomes follows a normal distribution. A ran
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

We conclude that the residents of Wilmington, Delaware, have higher income than the national average

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = $44,500

Sample mean, \bar{x} = $52,500

Sample size, n = 16

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s =  $9,500

a) First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 44,500\text{ dollars}\\H_A: \mu > 44,500\text{ dollars}

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

c) Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{52500 - 44500}{\frac{9500}{\sqrt{16}} } = 3.37

b) Rejection rule

If the calculated t-statistic is greater than the t-critical value, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

Now,

t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 15 degree of freedom } = 1.753

Since,                    

t_{stat} > t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the residents of Wilmington, Delaware, have higher income  than the national average

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. mm Triangle V T K with segment T Y such that Y is on segment V K, between
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

  VK = x = 98 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

TY is the bisector of angle T, so it divides segments of the triangle proportionally. That is, ...

  VY/VT = KY/KT

  VY = VT·KY/KT = (57 mm)·68/192.2 = 30 mm

Then

  VK = VY + YK = 30 mm + 68 mm

  VK = 98 mm
