Answer:

The variance and standard deviation of <em>X</em> are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.

The variance and standard deviation of (20 - <em>X</em>) are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable <em>X</em> is defined as, <em>X</em> = number of defective items in the sample.

In a sample of 20 items there are 4 defective items.

The probability of selecting a defective item is:

P (X)=\frac{4}{20}=0.20

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 3 items are selected at random.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 3 and <em>p </em>= 0.20.

The variance of a Binomial distribution is:

V(X)=np(1-p)

Compute the variance of <em>X</em> as follows:

V(X)=np(1-p)=3\times0.20\times(1-0.20)=0.48

Compute the standard deviation (σ (X)) as follows:

\sigma (X)=\sqrt{V(X)}=\sqrt{0.48}=0.693

Thus, the variance and standard deviation of <em>X</em> are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.

Now compute the variance of (20 - X) as follows:

V(20-X)=V(20)+V(X)-2Cov(20,X)=0+0.48-0=0.48

Compute the standard deviation of (20 - X) as follows:

\sigma (20-X)=\sqrt{V(20-X)} =\sqrt{0.48}0.693

Thus, the variance and standard deviation of (20 - <em>X</em>) are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.

In a football game, Jim's team gained 7 yards on the first play, lost 2 yards on the second play, and lost 10 yards on the third
Ghella [55]

Answer:

team loss after three games is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use positive sign for gain and negative sign for loss.

Given

Jim's team gained 7 yards on the first play

gain of yards = +7

lost 2 yards on the second play

loss of yards = -2

lost 10 yards on the third play

loss of yards = -10

Total yards gain or lost by Jim's team = +7 + (- 2) + ( - 10)

Total yards gain or lost by Jim's team = +7 -2 -10 = -5

sine sign is negative, it means there is loss and the net loss is 7 yards.

Thus, team loss after three games is 5.

18. Find the inverse of {(4, -1), (3, -2), (6, 9), (8, 5)}.
nadezda [96]
An inverse function will simply reverse the coordinate pairs of the original function.  If f(x)=(x,y), f^-(x)=(y,x).

So 18 is H

...

If f(x)=y=3x-4, to find the inverse function, solve for x, and then reverse the labels as seen below...

y=3x-4

y+4=3x

(y+4)/3=x so the inverse function is:

y=(x+4)/3
