Answer:

the expected value of Xn , E(Xn) = 0 and the variance σ²(Xn) = n*(1-2n)

Step-by-step explanation:

If X1= number of tails when n fair coins are flipped , then X1 follows a binomial distribution with E(X1) = n*p , p=0,5 and the number of heads obtained is X2=n-X1

therefore

Xn =X1-X2 = X1- (n-X1) = 2X1-n

thus

E(Xn) =∑ (2*X1-n) p(X1) =  2*∑[X1 p(X1)] -n∑p(X1) = 2*E(X1)-n = 2*n*p--n= 2*n*1/2 -n = n-n =0

the variance will be

σ²(Xn) = ∑ [Xn - E(Xn)]² p(Xn) = ∑ [(2X1-n) - 0 ]² p(X1) = ∑ (4*X1²-4*X1*n+n²) p(X1) = = 4*∑ X1²p(X1) - 4n ∑X1 p(X1) -  n²∑p(X1) = 2*E(X1²) -4n*E(X1)- n²

since

σ²(X1) = n*p*(1-p) = n*0,5*0,5=n/4

and

σ²(X1) = E(X1²) - [E(X1)]²

n/4 = E(X1²) - (n/2)²

E(X1²) = n(n+1)/4

therefore

σ²(Xn) = 4*E(X1²) -4n*E(X1)- n² = 4*n(n+1)/4 - 4*n*n/2 - n² = n(n+1) - 2n² - n²

= n - 2n² = n(1-2n)

σ²(Xn) = n(1-2n)

X= # of miles
.55x+1.75 is greater than or equal to 10

So if she has to go more than 2 miles we will put 2 in for X

.55(2)+1.75 is greater than or equal to 10
.55×2= 1.10+1.75= 2.85
2.85 is greater than 10 is false so now we know she has to go more than 2 miles.

Let's guess and check. Now let's say 15 miles
.55×15= 8.25+1.75= 10
10=10 So she needs to drive at least 15 miles

x is greater than or equal to 15

Please don't solely rely on my answer I don't know if it's correct

You can do 2(2*12) or 4(1*6), personally I think the second one is better. Hope this helps!

What is the distance ?
Gwar [14]

Distance between 2 points formula: √(x2 − x1)² + (y2 − y1)²

= √(7 - (-3))² + (-1 - 5)²

= √10² + -6²

= √100 + 36

= √136

≈ 11.662 (Note that this number is rounded because its a a non-terminating decimal).

Best of Luck!
