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

How to find... ↓

The small triangle is 1/3 size of the big triangle.

If this is the case, find the LCF here, 4, and multiply each angle's value by the least common factor, 4.

3 x 4 (bottom) = 12

5 x 4 (right side) = 20

4 x 4 (left side <em>the missing side) </em>= 16

Therefore,

The missing side value, <em>x</em>, is 16.

(1+tanx)/(sinx+cosx)=secx
jek_recluse [69]

\frac{1+\tan x}{\sin x+\cos x}=\sec x is proved

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

\frac{1+\tan x}{\sin x+\cos x}=\sec x  ------- (1)

First we will simplify the LHS and then compare it with RHS

\text { L. H.S }=\frac{1+\tan x}{\sin x+\cos x}  ------ (2)

\text {We know that } \tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}

Substitute this in eqn (2)

=\frac{1+\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}}{\sin x+\cos x}

On simplification we get,

=\frac{\frac{\sin x+\cos x}{\cos x}}{\sin x+\cos x}

=\frac{\sin x+\cos x}{\cos x} \times \frac{1}{\sin x+\cos x}

Cancelling the common terms (sinx + cosx)

=\frac{1}{c o s x}

We know secant is inverse of cosine

=\sec x=R . H . S

Thus L.H.S = R.H.S

\frac{1+\tan x}{\sin x+\cos x}=\sec x

Hence proved

An urn contains two black balls and three red balls. If two different balls are successively removed, what is the probability th
lidiya [134]

You can extract two balls of the same colour in two different way: either you pick two black balls or two red balls. Let's write the probabilities of each pick in each case.

Case 1: two black balls

The probability of picking the first black ball is 2/5, because there are two black balls, and 5 balls in total in the urn.

The probability of picking the second black ball is 1/4, because there is one black ball remaining in the urn, and 4 balls in total (we just picked the other black one!)

So, the probability of picking two black balls is

P(\text{two blacks}) = \dfrac{2}{5} \cdot \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{2}{20} = \dfrac{1}{10}

Case 2: two red balls

The probability of picking the first black ball is 3/5, because there are three red balls, and 5 balls in total in the urn.

The probability of picking the second red ball is 2/4=1/2, because there are two red balls remaining in the urn, and 4 balls in total (we just picked the other red one!)

So, the probability of picking two red balls is

P(\text{two reds}) = \dfrac{3}{5} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{10}

Finally, the probability of picking two balls of the same colour is

P(\text{same colour}) = P(\text{two blacks})+ P(\text{two reds}) = \dfrac{1}{10} + \dfrac{3}{10} = \dfrac{4}{10} = \dfrac{2}{5}
