Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.42

P(X = 1) = 0.46

P(X = 2) = 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted. So 60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted. So 70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

Probability mass function

Probability of each outcome(0, 1 and 2 files corrupted).

No files corrupted:

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

So

P(X = 0) = 0.6*0.7 = 0.42

One file corrupted:

First one corrupted, second no.

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

First one ok, second one corrupted.

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 1) = 0.4*0.7 + 0.6*0.3 = 0.46

Two files corrupted:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 2) = 0.4*0.3 = 0.12

The high temperature, in F, for the past 4 days was 45, 38, 46, and 35. Carlos knows that the mean high temperature for the past
Natali [406]

The temperature is 46°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the temperatures in F for the past four days as: 45, 38, 46, 35

The mean for the five days is 42 °F

Find the total temperatures with the mean of 42 in 5 days. Perform multiplication

42*5= 210 ° F

Sum of temperature in 4 days is 45+38+46+35=164 °F

The temperatures for the first day will be : 210°F-164°F=46°F
