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

Find the value of z in the figure below.<br>.​
zzz [600]

answer

z = 100

opposite angles

when inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles of a quadrilateral add up to 180

so z + 80 = 180 and y + 120 = 180

solve for z

z + 80 = 180

z = 180 - 80

z = 100

First, he needs to run to the store. To get to the store from his apartment, he can walk 1.2 miles North and 0.5 miles East alon
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

If Henry walks along the sidewalks, he will walk 1.7 miles in total. It will take him 17 minutes to reach the store and another 17 minutes to come back.

If Henry cuts through the city, he will walk √(1.2² + 0.5²) = 1.3 miles in total. It will take him 22.3 minutes to reach the store and another 22.3 minutes to come back.

Even though Henry will need to walk a longer distance if he walks along the sidewalks, he will be able to reach the store and back back in a shorter time than if he cuts through the city.

What’s is the solution to the equation x to the power of 2 =16/25
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

x=\dfrac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

x^2=\dfrac{16}{25}

We need to find the value of x.

When the exponent 2 removes from LHS, it will shift to RHS as square root as follows :

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{25}}

We know that, 4×4= 16 and 5×5 = 25

So,

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 4}{5\times 5}}\\\\x=\dfrac{4}{5}

So, the solution of the given equation is 4/5.
