Suppose that X is a random variable with mean 30 and standard deviation 4. Also suppose that Y is a random variable with mean 50

and standard deviation of 8. Assume that the correlation between X and Y is zero. Find the variance and the standard deviation of the random variable Z for each of the following cases. Show work.
(a) Z = 35 -10X
(b)Z = 12X - 5
(c) Z = X +Y
(d) Z = X -Y
(e) Z = -2X + 2Y

Answer:

a) Var[z] = 1600

    D[z] = 40

b) Var[z] = 2304

    D[z] = 48

c) Var[z] = 80

    D[z] = 8.94

d) Var[z] = 80

    D[z] = 8.94

e) Var[z] = 320

    D[z] = 17.88

Step-by-step explanation:

In general

V([x+y] = V[x] + V[y] +2Cov[xy]

how in this problem Cov[XY] = 0, then

V[x+y] = V[x] + V[y]

Also we must use this properti of the variance  

V[ax+b] = a^{2}V[x]

and remember that

standard desviation = \sqrt{Var[x]}

a) z = 35-10x

   Var[z] = 10^{2} Var[x] = 100*16 = 1600

   D[z] = \sqrt{1600} = 40

b) z = 12x -5

   Var[z] = 12^{2} Var[x] = 144*16 = 2304

   D[z] = \sqrt{2304} = 48

c) z = x + y

   Var[z] =  Var[x+y] = Var[x] + Var[y] = 16 + 64 = 80

   D[z] = \sqrt{80} = 8.94  

d) z = x - y

   Var[z] =  Var[x-y] = Var[x] + Var[y] = 16 + 64 = 80

   D[z] = \sqrt{80} = 8.94

e) z = -2x + 2y

   Var[z] = 4Var[x] + 4Var[y] = 4*16 + 4*64 = 320

  D[z] = \sqrt{320} = 17.88

A. Find a power function that models the data below.
zalisa [80]

Using Visual inspection, the model which fits the data in the distribution better is the power function.

The power and linear functions can of the data can both be modeled using technology,

<u>Using Technology</u> :

The power function in the form y = Ax^{B} which models the data is 1.926x^{1.662}

The linear function in the form y = Bx + A which models the data is y = 7.429x - 8.333

  • Where A = intercept and B = slope

  • From the model, correlation coefficient given by the power and linear models are 0.999 and 0.986 respectively.

  • Hence, the power model is a better fit for the data than the linear model.

Therefore, Inspecting the models visually, the power function fits the data better as the points on the curve are closer to the regression line than on the linear model.

What is mKNL?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

102°

Step-by-step explanation:

As the vertically opposite angles are equal,

5x+2={3(x+14)

Now let's solve for x now

5x+2=3(x+14)\\

5x+2=3x+42

5x-3x=42-2

2x=40

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{40}{2}

x=20 \\

Now let's find the value of KNL

3(x+14)\\3(20+14)\\3*34\\102

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions ;-)
