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

Solve the system of inequalities<br> 1-12y&lt;:3y+1; 2-6y&gt;4+4y
ICE Princess25 [194]

For 1 - 12y < 3y+1;        y > 15

For 2 - 6y  >  4  +  4y;   y  <  -0.2

The given inequalities are:

1  -  12y < 3y  +  1

2 - 6y  >  4  +  4y

For 1  -  12y < 3y  +  1:

1  -  12y < 3y  +  1

Collect like terms

-12y  -  3y  <  1  -  1

-15y    <   0

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-15y)   >  0(-y)

15y    >   0

Divide both sides by 15

y   >  0/15

y   >   15

For 2 - 6y  >  4  +  4y

Collect like terms

-6y  - 4y  >  4  -  2

-10y   >   2

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-10y)   <  2(-1)

10y   <  -2

y  <  -2/10

y  <  -0.2

How do you know when a term is defined or undefined
lord [1]
In geometry, definitions are formed using known words or terms to describe a new word. There are three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These three undefined terms are point, line and plane. 

<span>POINT (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a point has no dimension (actual size). Even though we represent a point with a dot, the point has no length, width, or thickness. A point is usually named with a capital letter. In the coordinate plane, a point is named by an ordered pair, (x,y). </span>

<span>LINE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions. A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends without end in two directions. A line is named by a single lowercase written letter or by two points on the line with an arrow drawn above them. </span>

<span>PLANE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a plane has no thickness but extends indefinitely in all directions. Planes are usually represented by a shape that looks like a tabletop or wall. Even though the diagram of a plane has edges, you must remember that the plane has no boundaries. A plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by three non-collinear points (plane ABC). </span>

<span>Undefined terms can be combined to define other terms. Noncollinear points, for example, are points that do not lie on the same line. A line segment is the portion of a line that includes two particular points and all points that lie between them, while a ray is the portion of a line that includes a particular point, called the end point, and all points extending infinitely to one side of the end point. </span>

<span>Defined terms can be combined with each other and with undefined terms to define still more terms. An angle, for example, is a combination of two different rays or line segments that share a single end point. Similarly, a triangle is composed of three noncollinear points and the line segments that lie between them. </span>

<span>Everything else builds on these and adds more information to this base. Those added things include all the theorems and other "defined" terms like parallelogram or acute angle. </span>
