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

Simplify 4to the 2 power and 4 to the 8th power
Scorpion4ik [409]
Four to the second power is just 4^2 which is equal to 16 (4*4 = 16)
Four the the eight power is just 4^8 which is equal to 65536 (4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4 = 65536)

Given that lines AB and DE are parallel,determine how triangles ABC and EDC can be shown to be similar
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The transversals cutting through the parallel lines create angles that are congruent to one another. Angles 1`and 5 are alternate interior and are congruent. Angles 2 and 6 are alternate interior and are congruent. And of course if 2 of 3 angles in 2 triangles are congruent, then the 3rd angles have to be congruent as well.  HOWEVER, we can see that the sides are NOT congruent, and we need at least one side to prove congruency.  Since we have 3 congruent angles, we can only say they are similar.

Llana [10]

Answer:

<em><u>All three choices would occur, and are all correct.</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of the least-squares regression line would decrease.

The standard deviation of the residuals would decrease.

The correlation coefficient (r) would get closer to 1.
