Answer:

A. E(x) = 1/n×n(n+1)/2

B. E(x²) = 1/n

Step-by-step explanation:

The n candidates for a job have been ranked 1,2,3....n. Let x be the rank of a randomly selected candidate. Therefore, the PMF of X is given as

P(x) = {1/n, x = 1,2...n}

Therefore,

Expectation of X

E(x) = summation {xP(×)}

= summation {X×1/n}

= 1/n summation{x}

= 1/n×n(n+1)/2

= n+1/2

Thus, E(x) = 1/n×n(n+1)/2

Value of E(x²)

E(x²) = summation {x²P(×)}

= summation{x²×1/n}

= 1/n

!!HELP: 20 POINTS!!At the end of a snow storm, Jace saw there was a lot of snow on his front lawn. The temperature increased and
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

the y-intercept is 15 which is the initial total depth of the snow at t=0 hours.

The rate of melting is 1.5inches per hour.  It will take 10 hours at the melting rate given of 1.5 to melt all the snow.

Step-by-step explanation:

the y-intercept is 15, and it might mean that the total depth of the snow is 15 inches.

The rate of melting is 1.5inches per hour.

At time = 0, S=15 - 1.5t = 15 - 1.5(0) = 15 inches to start

At time = 10, S=15 - 1.5t = 15 - 1.5(10) = 0 inches; meaning all snow has melted and it took 10 hours.
