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!!!

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=-2x/7+9 and that passes through the point (4,−6)
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

  y = (7/2)x -20

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is in slope-intercept form, so you can read its slope from the equation.

  y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope; b is the y-intercept

  y = -(2/7)x + 9 . . . . . . has slope -2/7

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this, so will be ...

  m = -1/(-2/7) = 7/2

We can use this and the given point to write the equation in point-slope form.

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

We have m = 7/2, (h, k) = (4, -6) so the equation is ...

  y = (7/2)(x -4) -6

  y = (7/2)x -20

Answer:

Compound interest is the best.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest is that which is not added to the initial capital once the term of the investment or credit has expired.

Compound interest is that which is added to the initial capital at the end of the investment or credit.

Simple interest:

I= C x i x t

15,000 * 0.05 * 5 = $ 750

Compound interest:

Cf= Ci (1+i)ᵗ

Cf = 15,000 * (1.039)^5 = $ 18,162.22

So, if Cf - Ci = I -> 3,162.22 is the compound interest.

How do i even solve this?? i’m super confused anything would help. ty.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

{b}^{4}  + 1

Your teacher messed up the question so just put the top right answer and ask your teacher if they did accidently miss-type.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do in this equation is look at the exponents. When multiplying a variable (or any number equal to itself with the same exponent) you only have to add the exponent. So for a, you would add the exponents to get 0, so a to the power of 0 is 1, because any number to the power of 0 is 1. For b, we would add the 3 and 1. (When no exponenet is present in a number then it is 1, so for this I added 3 and 1). So it would be 4. The correct answer is

{b}^{4}  + 1
