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

How is the process of finding equivalent ratios like the process of finding equivalent fractions
max2010maxim [7]
It is the same process because ratios and fractions are the same. For example, ratio 1 : 3 can be written in the form of fractions as 1/3. Ratio 1 : 4 is fraction 1/4, and so on. So, if you want to find equivalent ratios, you will use the same process as for finding equivalent fractions.

Write down the equation of a line that is parallel to the x-axis and passes through (-2, 5).​
Rudiy27

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel to the x-axis, regardless of the value of x, the value of y must remain at y = 5.  Therefore, x can be any number, (x,5), including -2.
