Every day, the number of network blackouts has a distribution (probability mass function)
1 answer:
Expected Mean, E(X), is obtained by multiplying each pair of 
and its 
and add up the answers
E(X) = (0×0.7) + (1×0.2) + (2×0.1) = 0.4
The formula to calculate the variance, Var(X), is given by E(X)² - (E(X))²
E(X²) = (0²×0.7) + (1²×0.2) + (2²×0.1) = 0+0.2+0.4 = 0.6
(E(X))² = (0.4)² = 0.16
Var(X) = 0.6 - 0.16 = 0.44
Translating these answers into the context we have
E(Y) = 0.4×500 = $200
Var(Y) = $110
E(X) = (0×0.7) + (1×0.2) + (2×0.1) = 0.4
The formula to calculate the variance, Var(X), is given by E(X)² - (E(X))²
E(X²) = (0²×0.7) + (1²×0.2) + (2²×0.1) = 0+0.2+0.4 = 0.6
(E(X))² = (0.4)² = 0.16
Var(X) = 0.6 - 0.16 = 0.44
Translating these answers into the context we have
E(Y) = 0.4×500 = $200
Var(Y) = $110

Answer: The largest angle formed during his trip is at the mall between his home and the library.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see image attached) the angle formed between his home and the library is 90°.
The sum of the interior angles of a right triangle is 180°, and the right angle (90°)is the largest angle formed.
So, the largest angle formed during his trip is at the mall between his home and the library.
