Answer:

Part A

E(X) = -33*0.5 - 25*0.24 -14*018 -4*0.08= -25.34

E(X^2) = (-33)^2*0.5 + (-25)^2*0.24 +(-14)^2*018+ (-4)^2*0.08= 731.06

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 731.06 -(-25.34)^2 = 88.944

sd(X) = \sqrt{88.944}= 9.431

Part B

a) P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.87)^{19} (1-0.87)^{20-19}=0.184

b) P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.87)^{18} (1-0.87)^{20-18}=0.262

c) P(X>18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)

P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.87)^{20} (1-0.87)^{20-20}=0.0617

And replacing we have:

P(X>18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)= 0.184+0.0617= 0.246

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

For this case we have the following distribution given:

x           -33    -25   -14    -4

P(X = x) 0.5 0.24 0.18 0.08

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).  

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And if we replace we got:

E(X) = -33*0.5 - 25*0.24 -14*018 -4*0.08= -25.34

Now we can calculate the second moment given by:

E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)

And replacing we have:

E(X^2) = (-33)^2*0.5 + (-25)^2*0.24 +(-14)^2*018+ (-4)^2*0.08= 731.06

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 731.06 -(-25.34)^2 = 88.944

And the deviation would be:

sd(X) = \sqrt{88.944}= 9.431

Part B

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

For this case we know that X \sim Bin (n = 20, p =0.87)

a) P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.87)^{19} (1-0.87)^{20-19}=0.184

b) P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.87)^{18} (1-0.87)^{20-18}=0.262

c) P(X>18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)

P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.87)^{20} (1-0.87)^{20-20}=0.0617

And replacing we have:

P(X>18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)= 0.184+0.0617= 0.246

Aleks04 [339]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: altitude of the plane in feet

y: final temperature

The equation modeling the problem for this case is given by:

y = - \frac{1.1}{1000} x + 59.7

Thus, evaluating the function for x = 11,000 ft. Height we have:

y = - \frac{1.1}{1000} (11000) +59.7

y = 47.6

Answer:

the temperature at an altitude of 11,000 ft is 47.6 F
