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!!!

if the volume of the prism is represented by 15x2 + x + 2 and the height is x2, which expression represents B, the area of the b
cricket20 [7]
The volume of a prism is the product of the area of a the base and its height. Given the volume of the prism as 15x2 + x + 2 and the height as x2, the base can be expressed using this expressions. Volume = base x height. By substitution, <span>15x2 + x + 2  = (base) x (x2). Thus the answer is, base = (15x2 + x + 2)/x2 or base = 15 + (1/x) + (2/x2).</span>

How do I solve for x?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The answer is 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees.

The sum of all the angles of a triangle always equals 180 degrees. Write down the difference you found when subtracting the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. This is the value of X.

62+20=82

180-82=98

98+20+62=180
