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)

Answer:

6.224  x 10^3 Hope this helped out :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the  

10 .If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

then you end up getting  6.224  x 10^3
