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.

John and Kamira are playing a game. John's score (J) and Kamira's score (K) after round 1 are shown on the number line.
IRINA_888 [86]

Complete question :

John and Kamira are playing a game. John's score (J) and Kamira's score (K) after round 1 are shown on the number line.

The score recorded at the end of the first round is 2.

What could this score represent?

Options :

the sum of John's score and Kamira's score

the difference between John's score and Kamira's score

the absolute value of the difference of John's score and Kamira's score

the sum of the absolute value of John's score and the absolute value of Kamira's score

Answer:

the sum of John's score and Kamira's score

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The score recorded at the end of the round is 2

From the attached number line :

John's score = - 5

Kamira's score = 7

Sum = - 5 + 7 = 2

Difference = - 5 - 7 = - 12

Sum of absolute value = 5 + 7 = 12

absolute value of difference = 12
