Answer:

E) 29.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the sum is obtained from 2 independent experiments: the value of the number of the first box X₁ and the value of the number of the second box X₂.

The expected value of a draw is the average of all its values, so E(X₁) = (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10)/10 = 5.5 and E(X₂) = (20+21+22+23+24+25+26+27)/8 = 23.5

Hence, E(X₁+X₂) = E(X₁)+E(X₂) = 5.5+23.5=29

A sample of 100 cars driving on a freeway during a morning commute was drawn, and the number of occupants in each car was record
makkiz [27]

Answer:

E(X)=1*0.74 +2*0.1 +3*0.11+ 4*0.03 +5*0.02=1.49  

Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2 =3.11-(1.49)^2 =0.8899  

Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{0.8899}=0.943  

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

X      1    2    3    4    5

F     74   10  11    3    2

The total number of values are 100, so then we can find the empirical probability dividing the frequency by 100 and we got the followin distribution:

X          1          2        3         4          5

P(X)     0.74   0.10   0.11    0.03    0.02

Previous concepts

In statistics and probability analysis, the expected value "is calculated by multiplying each of the possible outcomes by the likelihood each outcome will occur and then summing all of those values".  

The variance of a random variable Var(X) is the expected value of the squared deviation from the mean of X, E(X).  

And the standard deviation of a random variable X is just the square root of the variance.  

Solution to the problem

In order to calculate the expected value we can use the following formula:  

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)  

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

E(X)=1*0.74 +2*0.1 +3*0.11+ 4*0.03 +5*0.02=1.49  

In order to find the standard deviation we need to find first the second moment, given by :  

E(X^2)=\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)  

And using the formula we got:  

E(X^2)=1^2 *0.74 +2^2 *0.1 +3^2 *0.11 +4^2 0.03 +5^2 *0.02=3.11  

Then we can find the variance with the following formula:  

Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2 =3.11-(1.49)^2 =0.8899  

And then the standard deviation would be given by:  

Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{0.8899}=0.943

The sum of two numbers is -12. One of the numbers is 4. What is the other number?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
This could be done in two ways. If the first number is 4, then you could add 4 with -16. 4 + (-16) is -12. But it could also be -16 + 4, which still equals to -12.

But in the end, your answer is the same : -16 is the other number.

The expression _nC_3  is referring to the 4th number in the nth row of the Pascal triangle.

The expression _nC_3 is given.

We need to find which place number in the nth row of the pascal triangle the given expression represents.

<h3>What is a Pascal Triangle?</h3>

Pascal triangle is an arrangement of binomial coefficients in a triangular form and the middle numbers are filled such that each number is the sum of the two numbers just above it.

The elements of the nth row of Pascal's triangle are given by:

^nC_0, ^nC_1,^nC_2,^nC_3,..........,^nC_n

The formula for Pascal's triangle is:

^nC_m = ^{n-1}C_{m-1}+^{n-1}C_m

Where ^nC_m represents (m+1)^{th} elements in the nth row.

We have,

^nC_3~~or~~_nC_3

So applying the Pascal triangle formula.

We see that we are referring to the 4th number in the nth row of the Pascal triangle.

Because ^nC_3 represents (3+1)^{th} element in the nth row of the pascal triangle.

(3+1)^{th}~element = 4^{th}~element
