The right answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Age of Nora = x

Age of Damon = y

According to given statement;

x = 3y Eqn 1

In 8 years;

x+8 = 2(y+8) Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$3y+8=2(y+8)\\3y+8=2y+16\\3y-2y=16-8\\y=8$

Damon is now 8 years old.

In 8 years, he will be = 8+8 = 16 years old

Damon will be 16 years old in 8 years.

The right answer is Option B.

Let X be a Bernoulli rv with pmf as in Example 3.18. a. Compute E(X2 ). b. Show that V(X) 5 p(1 2 p). c. Compute E(X79).

spayn [35]

The Bernoulli distribution is a distribution whose random variable can only take 0 or 1

The value of E(x2) is p
The value of V(x) is p(1 - p)
The value of E(x79) is p

<h3>How to compute E(x2)</h3>

The distribution is given as:

p(0) = 1 - p

p(1) = p

The expected value of x2, E(x2) is calculated as:

$E(x^2) = \sum x^2 * P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x^2) = 0^2 * (1- p) + 1^2 * p$

Evaluate the exponents

$E(x^2) = 0 * (1- p) + 1 * p$

Multiply

$E(x^2) = 0 +p$

Add

$E(x^2) = p$

Hence, the value of E(x2) is p

<h3>How to compute V(x)</h3>

This is calculated as:

$V(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2$

Start by calculating E(x) using:

$E(x) = \sum x * P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x) = 0 * (1- p) + 1 * p$

$E(x) = p$

Recall that:

$V(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2$

So, we have:

$V(x) = p - p^2$

Factor out p

$V(x) = p(1 - p)$

Hence, the value of V(x) is p(1 - p)

<h3>How to compute E(x79)</h3>

The expected value of x79, E(x79) is calculated as:

$E(x^{79}) = \sum x^{79} * P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x^{79}) = 0^{79} * (1- p) + 1^{79} * p$

Evaluate the exponents

$E(x^{79}) = 0 * (1- p) + 1 * p$

Multiply

$E(x^{79}) = 0 + p$

Add

$E(x^{79}) = p$

Hence, the value of E(x79) is p

You plan to buy $12,000 in computers at a local chain store. There are two stores located about the same distance from your offi

wariber [46]

Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>
