Answer:

(D)E[ X ] =np.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a binomial experiment with n trials and probability of success​ p,

f(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, 0\leq  x\leq n

E(X)=\sum_{x=0}^{n}xf(x)= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Since each term of the summation is multiplied by x, the value of the term corresponding to x = 0 will be 0. Therefore the expected value becomes:

E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Now,

x\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\x\end{array}\right)= \frac{xn!}{x!(n-x)!}=\frac{n!}{(x-)!(n-x)!}=\frac{n(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}=n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)

Substituting,

E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Factoring out the n and one p from the above expression:

E(X)=np\sum_{x=1}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\x-1\end{array}\right)p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}

Representing k=x-1 in the above gives us:

E(X)=np\sum_{k=0}^{n}n\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1\\k\end{array}\right)p^{k}(1-p)^{(n-1)-k}

This can then be written by the Binomial Formula as:

E[ X ] = (np) (p +(1 - p))^{n -1 }= np.

Butoxors [25]

Ans

I = sqrt(P/R)

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide both sides by R first

P/R = I^2 R/R

So,

I^2 = P/R

take the square root of both sides

I = sqrt(P/R)

A line passes through (−1, 7) and (2, 10).
Murljashka [212]
The formula is y=mx+b
To get the slope or m, use this formula
(the second y minus the first y)/(the second x minus the first x)
Now set it up.
(10-7)/(2--1)
3/3=slope is 1.
y=1x+b

Insert one of the points for x and y.
i will do (-1,7)
7=1(-1)+b
7=-1+b
8=b
Insert this into the final equation:
y=1x+8

Try it out. If you're not sure, try both points. If it works, then you set it up correctly.

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation. 2x2 + 7x + 6 = 0
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

x = -3/2, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 7x + 6 = 0

(2x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

(2x + 3)

2x = -3

x = -3/2

(x + 2)

x = -2

What type of triangle has side lengths 9, 10, and √130? A. obtuse B. not a triangle C. acute D. right
EastWind [94]

Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of our triangle are:

9, 10 and √130.

If the triangle is a triangle rectangle, by the Pitagoream's theorem we have:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

in this case H is the larger side, this must be √130.

then:

A and B must be 9 and 10.

9^2 + 10^2 = (√130)^2

81 + 100 = 130

This is false, so this is NOT a triangle rectangle, the hypotenuse is shorter than it should be.

Now, we have some kind of rule:

 if A^2 + B^2 = H^2 then we have one angle of 90° and two smaller ones. (triangle rectangle)

 if A^2 + B^2 > H^2 then all the angles are smaller than 90°, this is an acute triangle.

 if A^2 + B^2 < H^2 then we have one angle larger than 90°, this is an obtuse angle.

(H is always the larger side, A and B are the two shorter ones).

In this case:

81 + 100 > 130

Then this must be an acute angle.
