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

The linear function graphed below represents Brenda’s monthly cell phone bill based on the number of hours she uses. What is her
grigory [225]

Answer:

$12 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find her hourly rate we have to find the amount of dollars billed per hour. To do this we can use this expression: \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Let's use the points (1, 27) and (2, 39) in the expression:

\frac{39 - 27}{2 -1}

Now let's simplify the expression:

39 - 27 = 12

2 - 1 = 1

The expression simplifies to 12/1, or 12. This means that Brenda is billed $12 every hour she uses her phone.

I hope this helps :)

Hii pls help i’ll give you brainliest if you give a correct answer.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How many 3/8 are in 5/4? We can set this number as x. Therre are x number of 3/8 that make up 5/4:

Therefore the PART A is: x* 3/8 = 5/4

On the other hand, 5/4 / 3/8 = x (this is just the reverse of what I mentioned earlier)

An important tool in archeological research is radiocarbon dating, developed by the American chemist Willard F. Libby.3 This is
Radda [10]

Answer:

Q(t) = Q_o*e^(-0.000120968*t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The ODE of the life of Carbon-14:

                                       Q' = -r*Q

- The initial conditions Q(0) = Q_o

- Carbon isotope reaches its half life in t = 5730 yrs

Find:

The expression for Q(t).

Solution:

- Assuming Q(t) satisfies:

                                       Q' = -r*Q

- Separate variables:

                                      dQ / Q = -r .dt

- Integrate both sides:

                                       Ln(Q) = -r*t + C

- Make the relation for Q:

                                       Q = C*e^(-r*t)

- Using initial conditions given:

                                       Q(0) = Q_o

                                       Q_o = C*e^(-r*0)

                                      C = Q_o    

- The relation is:

                                       Q(t) = Q_o*e^(-r*t)

- We are also given that the half life of carbon is t = 5730 years:

                                       Q_o / 2 = Q_o*e^(-5730*r)

                                        -Ln(0.5) = 5730*r

                                        r = -Ln(0.5)/5730

                                        r = 0.000120968          

- Hence, our expression for Q(t) would be:

                                       Q(t) = Q_o*e^(-0.000120968*t)
