Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-3 + 5 = 2x + 7 - 8x

Combine like terms

4x +2 = 7-6x

Add 6x to each side

4x+2+6x = 7-6x+6x

10x+2 = 7

Subtract 2 from each side

10x+2-2 = 7-2

10x = 5

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 5/10

x = 1/2

Describe each of the following values as (A) a discrete random variable, (B) a continuous random variable, or (C) not a rand

ANEK [815]

Answer:

1. Is a continuous random variable

2. Is a discrete random variable

3. Is not a random variable

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The exact Weight of quarters in circulation in the united states is a continuous random variable. This is because a random variable such as this can take uncountable and infinite number of values.

2. The shoe sizes if humans is an example of discrete random variable. This is a discrete random variable because it has countable number of values.

3. Political party affiliation is not a random variable.

A genetics experiment involves a population of fruit flies consisting of 1 male named Bart and 3 females named Charlene, Diana,

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(b) $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 male named Bart (b)

3 females named Charlene(c), Diana(d), and Erin(e).

Since there is replacement, the possible samples are:

bb, bc, be, bd, cb, cc, cd, ce, db, dc, dd, de, eb, ec, ed, and ee.

Total Number of pairs = 16

Event of picking 2 males:bb

Event of 1 male:bc,cb,bd,db,be,eb

Event of picking 0 males:

cc, cd, ce, dc, dd, de, ec, ed, and ee.

$\begin{equation*} \begin{matrix}Proportion of males & Probability \\0 & 9/16 \\1 & 6/16 \\2 & 1/16 \end{matrix} \end{equation*}$

b. The mean of the sampling distribution

$\mu = (\frac{9}{16} X0 ) +(\frac{6}{16} X 1)+(\frac{1}{16} X 2) = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$

c. No; the proportion of males is $\frac{1}{4}$ while the mean is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

B. No, the sample mean is not equal to the population proportion of males. These values are not always equal, because proportion is an unbiased estimator.
