Let x be the capacity of the tank then
3x/4-x/8 =15,
then x=24, so so far it has 3/4 *24 =18 so you need 6 gallons to fill it up

Let X1, . . . ,Xn be an i.i.d. random sample from a N(0, 1) population. Define Y1 = 1 n n X i=1 Xi , Y2 = 1 n n X i=1 |Xi| . Cal
nalin [4]

For each 1\le i\le n, E[X_i]=0, so that

\displaystyle E[Y_1]=E\left[\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\right]=\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^nE[X_i]=0

Meanwhile,

\displaystyle E[Y_2]=\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^nE[|X_i|]

Each of the X_i have PDF

f_{X_i}(x)=\dfrac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-x^2/2}

for x\in\Bbb R. From this we get

E[|X_i|]=\displaystyle\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty|x|e^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx=\sqrt{\frac2\pi}\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/2}\,\mathrm dx=\sqrt{\frac2\pi}

\implies E[Y_2]=n\sqrt{\dfrac2\pi}

A number is greater than 8. The same number is less than 10. The inequalities x > 8 and x < 10 represent the situation
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let any two real number a and b (no matter +ve, -ve or 0). a ≥ b

The average of them will always lie in between them or be equal(if 0).

Let's prove : According to the statement,

a ≥ (a + b)/2 ≥ b

2a ≥ a + b ≥ 2b

2a ≥ a + b and a + b ≥ 2b

a ≥ b and a ≥ b, as we assumed.

Moreover, as the average exists in between a and b, we have the average (a + b)/2. Similarly, there exists one more average of (a + b)/2 and a or b, which definitely lie between a and b as (a + b)/2 lies there and smaller than a and b.

In the same order, we can have many average and the process would stop. This leads to infinite number between a and b.

Notice that we talked about all the numbers moreover there are many irrational(non-terminating like 9.898989.... etc numbers as well.

Option (4), infinite solutions.

Note: we solved for all the number (not specifically odd, even, natural, whole, integer, etc).
