A third-degree polynomial has 4 intercepts.

Mathematics

Yes, if you are counting intercepts are both x and y-intercepts.

A third degree polynomial would only have 3 x-intercepts. However, it could also have a y-intercept. This would make the total number of intercepts 4.

Four buses carrying 146 high school students arrive to Montreal. The buses carry, respectively, 32, 44, 28, and 42 students. One
Naily [24]

Answer:

The expected value of X is E(X)=\frac{2754}{73} \approx 37.73 and the variance of X is Var(X)=\frac{226192}{5329} \approx 42.45

The expected value of Y is E(Y)=\frac{73}{2} \approx 36.5 and the  variance of Y is Var(Y)=\frac{179}{4} \approx 44.75

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let X be a discrete random variable with set of possible values D and  probability mass function p(x). The expected value, denoted by E(X) or \mu_x, is

E(X)=\sum_{x\in D} x\cdot p(x)

The probability mass function p_{X}(x) of X is given by

p_{X}(28)=\frac{28}{146} \\\\p_{X}(32)=\frac{32}{146} \\\\p_{X}(42)=\frac{42}{146} \\\\p_{X}(44)=\frac{44}{146}

Since the bus driver is equally likely to drive any of the 4 buses, the probability mass function p_{Y}(x) of Y is given by

p_{Y}(28)=p_{Y}(32)=p_{Y}(42)=p_{Y}(44)=\frac{1}{4}

The expected value of X is

E(X)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{X}(x)

E(X)=28\cdot \frac{28}{146}+32\cdot \frac{32}{146} +42\cdot \frac{42}{146} +44 \cdot \frac{44}{146}\\\\E(X)=\frac{392}{73}+\frac{512}{73}+\frac{882}{73}+\frac{968}{73}\\\\E(X)=\frac{2754}{73} \approx 37.73

The expected value of Y is

E(Y)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{Y}(x)

E(Y)=28\cdot \frac{1}{4}+32\cdot \frac{1}{4} +42\cdot \frac{1}{4} +44 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y)=146\cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y)=\frac{73}{2} \approx 36.5

(b) Let X have probability mass function p(x) and expected value E(X). Then the variance of X, denoted by V(X), is

V(X)=\sum_{x\in D} (x-\mu)^2\cdot p(x)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2

The variance of X is

E(X^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{X}(x)

E(X^2)=28^2\cdot \frac{28}{146}+32^2\cdot \frac{32}{146} +42^2\cdot \frac{42}{146} +44^2 \cdot \frac{44}{146}\\\\E(X^2)=\frac{10976}{73}+\frac{16384}{73}+\frac{37044}{73}+\frac{42592}{73}\\\\E(X^2)=\frac{106996}{73}

Var(X)=E(X^2)-(E(X))^2\\\\Var(X)=\frac{106996}{73}-(\frac{2754}{73})^2\\\\Var(X)=\frac{106996}{73}-\frac{7584516}{5329}\\\\Var(X)=\frac{7810708}{5329}-\frac{7584516}{5329}\\\\Var(X)=\frac{226192}{5329} \approx 42.45

The variance of Y is

E(Y^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{Y}(x)

E(Y^2)=28^2\cdot \frac{1}{4}+32^2\cdot \frac{1}{4} +42^2\cdot \frac{1}{4} +44^2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y^2)=196+256+441+484\\\\E(Y^2)=1377

Var(Y)=E(Y^2)-(E(Y))^2\\\\Var(Y)=1377-(\frac{73}{2})^2\\\\Var(Y)=1377-\frac{5329}{4}\\\\Var(Y)=\frac{179}{4} \approx 44.75

Consider the geometric sequence below.
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

f(1) = 8

Common ratio: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.

In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.

f(1) = 8

To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.

We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.

I choose to divide the second term by the first term:

4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

Write the 2-digit number that matches the clues. My number has a tens digit that is 8 more than the ones digit. Zero is not one
laila [671]
Firstly attention should pe paid to the exact words given in the problem and then only the answer can be easily deduced.
It is a 2 digit number and that is said in the problem
Now For the tens digit it has been said that it is 8 more than the ones digit. The ones digit cannot be zero and that is already mentioned in the problem.
So if we take the ones digit to be 1, then the tens digit will be= 8 +1
                                                                                                 = 9
Now if we take the ones digit to be 2, then the tens digit will be = 2 + 8
                                                                                                     = 10
So it cannot be 2 as the tens digit takes the number to a 3 digit number and it is not possible.
So the answer to this problem is 91.
