g A random variable X has a probability density function fX(x) = ? 0.5 sin(x) , 0 ≤ x ≤ π 0 , otherwise Another random variable

Y is defined as Y = X + (X − π/2)3 . (a) What are the mean (expected value), variance and standard deviation of X? (b) Plot the function Y = Y (X). What are the minimum and maximum possible values of Y ? (c) From the plot, using only graphical thinking and no equations, what is the shape of the probability density function of Y (i.e., fY (y))? Specifically, how is the shape compared to that of fX(x)? (d) From the plot, using only graphical thinking and no equations, estimate (guess) the expected value and standard deviation of Y (i.e., µY and σY ).

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}0.5\sin x&\text{for }0\le x\le\pi\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

a. The mean of X is

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac12\int_0^\pi x\sin x\,\mathrm dx=\frac\pi2

Recall that the variance of a random variable X is

\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2

We have

E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac12\int_0^\pi x^2\sin x\,\mathrm dx=\frac{\pi^2-4}2

so that

\mathrm{Var}[X]=\dfrac{\pi^2-4}2-\dfrac{\pi^2}4=\dfrac{\pi^2-8}4

and the standard deviation is

\sqrt{\mathrm{Var}[X]}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\pi^2-8}}2

b.

X=0\implies Y=-\dfrac{\pi^3}8

X=\pi\implies Y=\pi+\dfrac{\pi^3}8

Graph the image of the given triangle under a dilation with a scale factor of 1/4 and center of dilation ​(0, 0)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The image in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the image of the given triangle are equal to the original dimensions of the pre-image multiplied by the scale factor

In this problem the scale factor is 1/4

The height of the pre-image is 4 units

The base of the pre-image is 8 units

Find out the dimensions of the image

The height of the image is (4)\frac{1}{4}=1\ unit

The base of the image is (8)\frac{1}{4}=2\ units

The image in the attached figure

Me groves has trays of paint for her students. Each tray has 5 colors. One of the colors is purple. What fraction of the colors
Natali5045456 [20]
Purple = 1/5 of the colors

5 colors per tray, 20 trays = 5 * 20 = 100 colors

1/5 * 100 = 100/5 = 20

20 colors are purple

20/100 = 1/5

1/5

Which are perfect trinomials?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A perfect square trinomial is the square of a binomial. It follows a pattern when it is factored, so that the first and last terms are perfect squares of monomials and the middle term is twice their product
