Answer:

E[W] = $25 (assuming the currency is in dollars)

Var(W) = 1041.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of winning first starts with the coin toss.

For a win, the coin needs to land on heads.

Probability of that = 1/2 = 0.5

Then probability of winning any amount = 1/100 = 0.01

Total probability of winning any amount = 0.5 × 0.01 = 0.005

But expected value is given by

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

where xᵢ is each amount that could be won

pᵢ is the probability of each amount to be won and it is the same for all the possible winnings = 0.005

So,

E(W) = Σ 0.005 xᵢ

Summing from 0 to 100 (0 indicating getting a tail from the coin toss). This could be done with dome faster with an integral sign

E(W) = ∫ 0.005 x dx

Integrating from 0 to 100

E(W) = [0.005 x²/2]¹⁰⁰₀

E(W) = [0.0025 x²]¹⁰⁰₀ = 0.0025(100² - 0²) = 0.0025 × 10000 = $25

Variance is given by

Variance = Var(X) = Σxᵢ²pᵢ − μ²

μ = expected value

We calculate the expression, Σxᵢ²pᵢ which is another sum from 0 to 100

Σxᵢ²pᵢ = Σ 0.005xᵢ²

Σ 0.005 xᵢ² = ∫ 0.005 x² dx

Integrating from 0 to 100

∫ 0.005 x² dx = [0.005 x³/3]¹⁰⁰₀ = [0.1667x³]¹⁰⁰₀ = 0.1667(100³ - 0³) = 1666.67

Var(W) = 1666.67 - 25² = 1666.67 - 625 = 1041.67.

What values for θ (0 ≤ θ ≤ 2pie ) satisfy the equation?

svetoff [14.1K]

Factor out the cosθ:
cosθ (2sinθ + sqrt3) = 0
Therefore, the only ways this can happen are if either cosθ = 0 or if (2sinθ + sqrt3) = 0
The first case, cosθ = 0 only at θ = pi/2, 3pi/2.
The second case, (2sinθ + sqrt3) = 0 simplifies to:
sinθ = (-sqrt3)/2
θ = 4pi/3, 5pi/3
Therefore the answer is A.

The owners of an industrial plant want to determine which of two types of fuel (gas or electricity) will produce more useful ene

Answer:

d. H0: $(\mu_e - \mu_g) = 0$ vs. $Ha: (\mu_e - \mu_g) \neq 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

On this case the Management try to determine if there is a difference in the average investment/quad between using electricity and using gas. So this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis. And the complement of the alternative hypothesis would be on the null hypothesis.

Null hypothesis : $\mu_e = \mu_g$
