A shipping company handles containers in three different sizes: (1) 27 ft3 (3 × 3 × 3), (2) 125 ft3, and (3) 512 ft3. Let Xi (i

= 1, 2, 3) denote the number of type i containers shipped during a given week. With μi = E(Xi) and σi2 = V(Xi), suppose that the mean values and standard deviations are as follows:
μ1 = 230 μ2 = 240 μ3 = 120
σ1 = 11 σ2 = 12 σ3 = 7

Assuming that X1, X2, X3 are independent, calculate the expected value and variance of the total volume shipped.

Answer:

Expected value of the total volume shipped = 97,650 ft³

Variance of the total volume shipped = 15,183,265

Standard deviation = 3896.6 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of number of type 1, 2 and 3 containers in a week

μ₁ = 230, μ₂ = 240, μ₃ = 120

The standard deviations for the number of type 1, 2 and 3 containers in a week

σ₁ = 11, σ₂ = 12, σ₃ = 7

When independent distributions are combined, the combined mean and combined variance are given through the relation

Combined mean = Σ λᵢμᵢ

(summing all of the distributions in the manner that they are combined)

Combined variance = Σ λᵢ²σᵢ²

(summing all of the distributions in the manner that they are combined)

Volume of each container type

λ₁ = 27 ft³

λ₂ = 125 ft³

λ₃ = 512 ft³

Distribution of total volume shipped

= 27X₁ + 125X₂ + 512X₃

Expected value = Combined Mean = 27μ₁ + 125μ₂ + 512μ₃

= (27×230) + (125×240) + (512×120) = 590

Combined Variance = 27²σ₁² + 125²σ₂² + 512²σ₃²

= (27² × 11²) + (125² × 12²) + (512² × 7²)

= 88,209 + 2,250,000 + 12,845,056

= 15,183,265

Standard deviation = √(15,183,265) = 3896.6 ft³

Hope this Helps!!!

Simplify 8 over negative 4 divided by negative 3 over 9. 6 −6 12 −12

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}$

Required

Solve

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}$

We start by converting the division sign to multiplication

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9} =\frac{8}{-4} * \frac{-9}{3}$

Then, we divide -9 by 3

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}=\frac{8}{-4} * -3$

Then, we divide 8 by -4

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}=-2 * -3$

Multiply -2 and -3 to give final result

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9} = 6$

Hence, $\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}$ is equivalent to 6

Answer:

64 times

Step-by-step explanation:

16 hours to minutes: 16*60 = 960 minutes

vaping every 15 minutes: 960/15 = 64

What letter is s in 8s=1/2

Tcecarenko [31]

We find the value for s here.

8s = 1/2
$8s = \frac{1}{2} 
 \\ 
8s/8 = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{8}{1} 

$

1/2 divided by 8/1 = 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

s = 1/16

et f(x) = x + |2x − 3|. Find all solutions to the equation f(x) = 12. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answe

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

1. {5,-9}

2.{4}

3.{9/2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $f(x)=x+\lvert 2x-3 \rvert=12$ can be solved as follows:

$x+\lvert 2x-3 \rvert =12\,\,\,\text{(given equation)}$

$\lvert 2x-3 \rvert =12-x$

$2x-3=12-x\,\,\text{or}\,\,2x-3=-(12-x)$

$3x=15\,\,\text{or}\,\,\x=-9$

Then, the solutions of the equation are $x=5, x=-9$ .

Now, if $g(x)=5x-3+\lvert x+4\rvert$ , we can solve the equation $g(a)=4a+9$ as follows:

$5a-3+\lvert a+4 \rvert =4a+9$

$\lvert a+4\rvert =4a+9-5a+3$

$a+4 =-a+12\,\,\text{or}\,\,a+4=-(-a+12)$

$2a=8\,\,\text{or}\,\,4=12$

So, the unique solution of this last equation is $a=4$

The last equation is $h(x-1)=x-3$ , where $h(x)=\lvert x \rvert -2x+5.$ . To solve this equation we can proceed as follows:

$h(x-1)=x-3$

$\lvert x-1\rvert -2(x-1)+5=x-3$

$\lvert x-1 \rvert -2x+2+5=x-3$

$\lvert x-1\rvert =3x-10$

$x-1=3x-10\,\,\text{or}\,\,x-1=-(3x-10)$

$-2x=-9\,\,\text{or}\,\,4x=11$

$x=9/2\,\,\text{or}\,\,x=11/4$

But, x=11/4 is not a solution of this equation. So the unique solution is x=9/2.
