Answer:
a) E(y) = 0.8
b) The average subcharge is $165
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following distribution in the question:
y: 0 1 2 3
P(y): 0.50 0.25 0.20 0.05
a) E(y)

b) Expected value of subcharge
Subcharge =

Expected value of subcharge =

Thus, the average subcharge is $165
9x-(2x+8)
Distribute the - to both 2x and 8
9x-2x-8
simplify
7x-8
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure it's 1/12, 1/12, 1/12, 1/12
Answer:
$1,109.80
Step-by-step explanation:
$3580 times 31% = 1,109.80+ 3580 = $4,689.80
When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= ± sqrt(144)= ± 12
So in order that the given equation has double roots, the possible values of b are ± 12.
