Answer:
2.37 ; 1.6731
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
X:___0____1____2____3____4____5
P(x):_0.10_0.15_0.26__0.30_0.15__0.04
the expected frequency of floods per town per summer
Σ(flood per Town per summer) * probability
Σ(X)*p(x)
Σ(0*0.10) + (1*0.15) + (2*0.26) + (3*0.30) + (4*0.15) + (5*0.04)
= (0 + 0.15 + 0.52 + 0.90 + 0.60 + 0.2)
= 2.37
Variance (s²) :
Σ[x². P(x)] - u²
Using an online variance calculator to save computation time :
s² = 16731 / 10000
s² = 1.6731
It is relatively easy to determine whether an equation is a function by solving for y. When you are given an equation and a specific value for x, there should only be one corresponding y-value for that x-value. For example, y = x + 1 is a function because y will always be one greater than x.
