The solution of equation is: x=-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$5-\sqrt{2x+8}=4$

first of all, we have to simplify the equation

so,

Subtracting 5 from both sides

$5-5-\sqrt{2x+8}=4-5\\-\sqrt{2x+8}=-1$

Dividing both sides by -1

$\frac{-\sqrt{2x+8}}{-1}=\frac{-1}{-1}\\\sqrt{2x+8}=1\\$

Taking square on both sides

$(\sqrt{2x+8})^2=(1)^2$

$2x+8=1$

Subtracting 8 from both sides

$2x+8-8=1-8\\2x=-7$

dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}\\x=\frac{7}{2}$

the solution of equation is: x=-7/2

2) X and Y are jointly continuous with joint pdf

Nady [450]

From what I gather from your latest comments, the PDF is given to be

$f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}cxy&\text{for }0\le x,y \le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

and in particular, f(x, y) = cxy over the unit square [0, 1]², meaning for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. (As opposed to the unbounded domain, x ≤ 0 *and* y ≤ 1.)

(a) Find c such that f is a proper density function. This would require

$\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1 cxy\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=c\left(\int_0^1x\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y\,\mathrm dy\right)=\frac c{2^2}=1\implies \boxed{c=4}$

(b) Get the marginal density of X by integrating the joint density with respect to y :

$f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^1 4xy\,\mathrm dy=(2xy^2)\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=1}=\begin{cases}2x&\text{for }0\le x\le 1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

$f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_0^14xy\,\mathrm dx=\begin{cases}2y&\text{for }0\le y\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

(d) The conditional distribution of X given Y can obtained by dividing the joint density by the marginal density of Y (which follows directly from the definition of conditional probability):

$f_{X\mid Y}(x\mid y)=\dfrac{f_{X,Y}(x,y)}{f_Y(y)}=\begin{cases}2x&\text{for }0\le x\le 1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

(e) From the definition of expectation:

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1 x\,f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=4\left(\int_0^1x^2\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y\,\mathrm dy\right)=\boxed{\frac23}$

$E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1 y\,f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=4\left(\int_0^1x\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y^2\,\mathrm dy\right)=\boxed{\frac23}$

$E[XY]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1xy\,f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=4\left(\int_0^1x^2\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^1y^2\,\mathrm dy\right)=\boxed{\frac49}$

(f) Note that the density of X | Y in part (d) identical to the marginal density of X found in (b), so yes, X and Y are indeed independent.

The result in (e) agrees with this conclusion, since E[XY] = E[X] E[Y] (but keep in mind that this is a property of independent random variables; equality alone does not imply independence.)

VladimirAG [237]

2 gross finger puppets; 2 gross bookmarks; 4 gross assorted pencils; 2 gross animal erasers; 2 gross foam craft kits; 2 gross glow in the dark stickers.

This gives 14 gross prizes; 14*144 = 2016.
Expecting 225 guests, with 8 prizes per bag = 225*8 = 1800

This gives enough extra for 27 more bags, in case more people than expected show up.
