Answer:

(a) The probability distribution is shown in the attachment.

(b) The value of E (<em>Y</em>) is 7.85.

(c) The value of E (X) and E (X²) are 1.45 and 3.25 respectively.

(d) The value of P (Y ≤ 2) is 0.60.

(e) Verified that the value of E (Y) is 7.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The random variable <em>Y</em> is defined as: Y=3X^{2}-2X+1

For <em>X</em> = {0, 1, 2, 3} the value of <em>Y</em> are:

X=0;\ Y=3\times(0)^{2}-2\times(0)+1 =1

X=1;\ Y=3\times(1)^{2}-2\times(1)+1 =2

X=2;\ Y=3\times(2)^{2}-2\times(2)+1 =9

X=3;\ Y=3\times(3)^{2}-2\times(3)+1 =22

The probability of <em>Y</em> for different values are as follows:

P (Y = 1) = P (X = 0) = 0.20

P (Y = 2) = P (X = 1) = 0.40

P (Y = 9) = P (X = 2) = 0.15

P (Y = 22) = P (X = 3) = 0.25

The probability distribution of <em>Y</em> is shown below.

(b)

The expected value of a random variable using the probability distribution table is:

E(U)=\sum[u\times P(U=u)]

Compute the expected value of <em>Y</em> as follows:

E(Y)=\sum [y\times P(Y=y)]\\=(1\times0.20)+(2\times0.40)+(9\times0.15)+(22\times0.25)\\=7.85

Thus, the value of E (<em>Y</em>) is 7.85.

(c)

Compute the expected value of <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\sum [x\times P(X=x)]\\=(0\times0.20)+(1\times0.40)+(2\times0.15)+(3\times0.25)\\=1.45

Compute the expected value of <em>X</em>² as follows:

E(X^{2})=\sum [x^{2}\times P(X=x)]\\=(0^{2}\times0.20)+(1^{2}\times0.40)+(2^{2}\times0.15)+(3^{2}\times0.25)\\=3.25

Thus, the value of E (X) and E (X²) are 1.45 and 3.25 respectively.

(d)

Compute the value of P (Y ≤ 2) as follows:

P (Y\leq 2)=P(Y=1)+P(Y=2)=0.20+0.40=0.60

Thus, the value of P (Y ≤ 2) is 0.60.

(e)

The value of E (Y) is 7.85.

E(Y)=E(3X^{2}-2X+1)=3E(X^{2})-2E(X)+1

Use the values of E (X) and E (X²) computed in part (c) to compute the value of E (Y).

E(Y)=3E(X^{2})-2E(X)+1\\=(3\times 3.25)-(2\times1.45)+1\\=7.85

Hence verified.

What is the third quartile of this data set ? 14,18,20,21,25,32,40,44,48
kotykmax [81]

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given data set - 14,18,20,21,25,32,40,44,48

We need to get the 3rd quartile

Step 2 :

To find the quartile's , we have to divide the data set into 4 equal quarters.

The 3rd cut will give the 3rd quartile

Step 3:

The median of this data set is at 25, there are 4 numbers below and above it.

Now we take the 2nd half of the set , after the median and take the median of it.

There are 4 numbers in the 2nd half 32,40,44,48. Cutting this into 2 , we have the cut to fall between 40 and 44. Hence taking the average of this will give the 3rd quartile.

The average of 40 and 44 is 42 .

Hence the 3rd quartile is 42.

Lin is shopping for a couch with her dad and hears him ask the salesperson, "How much is your commission?" The salesperson says
Volgvan

Answer:

$467.77

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION

Lin is shopping for a couch with her dad and heard him ask the salesperson “how much is your commission?” The salesperson says that her commission is 5 1/2% of the selling price. A.How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495?

B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?

From the question, the commission of the salesperson is 5 1/2 % , we can convert to improper fraction as 11/5%, then we can convert to decimal by dividing the numerator by denominator which is 5.5% , we can convert from percentage by saying(5.5%/100)

= 0.055

A)How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495?

His Commission will be

(0.055 x $495 )

= $27.23

B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?

Since we know this Commission as $27.23, then the amount the store get from sale will be

(difference between the commission and the selling price)

($495.00- $27.23)

= $467.77
