The given MGF is that for a random variable following a Poisson distribution with parameter \lambda=3.

This means \mathbb E(X)=\mathbb V(X)=\lambda, and X has PMF

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{3^xe^{-3}}{x!}&\text{for }x\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

So, the desired probability is

\mathbb P\left(\lambda-\lambda^2

This is equivalent to

\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^2\mathbb P(X=x)=\sum_{x=0}^2\frac{3^x}{x!e^3}=\frac{17}{2e^3}\approx0.4232

Which expression is equivalent to (x^2 -8) - (-2x^2+4)?​
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

D) 3x^2 - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS;

There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.

We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.

Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":

Step 1: Distributing the negative

Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.

Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate

Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.

Thus,

x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___

*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.

Evaluating for the answer, we get,

x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12

Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.

Item 9 a flight averages 460 miles per hour. the return flight averages 500 miles per hour due to a tailwind. the total flying t
Ksenya-84 [330]

Let us say that the variables for flight is designated by 1, while the return flight by 2, since the distance travelled are equal, therefore:

v1 t1 = v2 t2

or

460 t1 = 500 t2

 

Since t1 + t2 = 4.8, therefore: t1 = 4.8 – t2

460 (4.8 – t2) = 500 t2

2208 – 460 t2 = 500 t2

960 t2 = 2208

t2 = 2.3

 

t1= 4.8 – t2 = 4.8 – 2.3

t1 = 2.5

 

Answer:

The flight took 2.5 hours while the return flight took 2.3 hours.

Danielle says the answer is "A". Is she correct? If she is,why? And if she isn't,what is the correct answer?​
Naddik [55]

Answer:

She is incorrect. The correct answer is 285.74

Step-by-step explanation:

A= (pi)r^2

Training wheel: A= (3.14)(3)^2=28.26in^2

Wheel: A= (3.14)(10)^2= 314in^2

314-28.26=285.74in^2
