Three fair dice are rolled at once. Let X denote the number of dice that land with the same number of dots on top as at least on

e other die. The probability distribution for X is x 0 u 3 P ( x ) p 15 36 1 36 Find the missing value u of X. Find the missing probability p. Compute the mean of X. Compute the standard deviation of X.

X can be any of 0, 2, or 3, which is to say the value of the dice are all different, 2 of them match, or all 3 are the same. So u=2.

For any probability density, the probabilities of all possible outcomes must sum to 1. This means

p+\dfrac{15}{36}+\dfrac1{36}=1\implies p=\dfrac59

The mean/expectation of X is

E[X]=\displaystyle\sum_xx\,P(X=x)=0\cdot p+2\cdot\frac{15}{36}+3\cdot\frac1{36}=\frac{11}{12}

The variance of X is

V[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2

where the second moment is

E[X^2]=\displaystyle\sum_xx^2\,P(X=x)=0^2\cdot p+2^2\cdot\frac{15}{36}+3^2\cdot\frac1{36}=\frac{23}{12}

\implies V[X]=\dfrac{23}{12}-\left(\dfrac{11}{12}\right)^2=\dfrac{155}{144}

Then the standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

\sqrt{V[X]}=\dfrac{\sqrt{155}}{12}\approx1.037

A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal, as shown below.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

x=45\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram, the measure of the (x+30\degree) angle is equal to the 75\degree angle.

These two angles are alternate angles.

We therefore set up the following equation and solve for x.

x+30\degree =75\degree

\Rightarrow x =75\degree-30\degree

\Rightarrow x =45\degree

Radius = 1.25cm
81cm3 / 20 = 4.05 cm3 per cone
V cone = πr^2 (h/3)
So then 4.05 = π(1.25)^2 (h/3)
Then h/3 = .825 and then

h = 2.475 cm

Which is bigger 2m or 275cm
aliina [53]

Answer:

275.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you convert 2m into CM you get 200.
If you convert 275 cm into M you get 2.75. So 275cm is bigger.

Can someone find r please
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

r = 3 \times \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square is 36.

A = s^2

36 = s^2

s = sqrt(36)

s = 6

The side of the square has length 6.

All sides of a square are congruent, so all sides have length 6.

If you extend segment JO to point L, you end up with segment JL which is a diameter of the circle and the diagonal of the square. We can use the Pythagorean theorem using two sides if the square as legs and the diagonal of the square as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 6^2 = c^2

36 + 36 = c^2

c^2 = 72

c = \sqrt{72}

c = \sqrt{36 \times 2}

c = \sqrt{36} \times \sqrt{2}

c = 6 \times \sqrt{2}

c is the diameter.

r is the radius, so it is half of the diameter.

c = d

r = d/2

r = \dfrac{d}{2} = 3 \times \sqrt{2}
