This is adding two vectors, one magnitude 300 direction east, and one magnitude 100 direction 30 degrees northeast.
For the resulting sum we can use the Law of Cosines or just add up the components. Let's try it both ways.
Components first. In the east direction we have
300 + 100 cos 30° = 300 + 100(√3/2) = 386.60 miles per hour
In the north direction we have
0 + 100 sin 30° = 100 (1/2) = 50 miles per hour
So a total speed of
sqrt{386.6^2 + 50^2} = 389.82 miles per hour
Answer: 389.82
--------
OK let's try the Law of Cosines. We have sides 300 and 100 and included angle 150°.
Answer and Explanation:
Given : The random variable x has the following probability distribution.
To find :
a. Is this probability distribution valid? Explain and list the requirements for a valid probability distribution.
b. Calculate the expected value of x.
c. Calculate the variance of x.
d. Calculate the standard deviation of x.
Solution :
First we create the table as per requirements,
x P(x) xP(x) x² x²P(x)
0 0.25 0 0 0
1 0.20 0.20 1 0.20
2 0.15 0.3 4 0.6
3 0.30 0.9 9 2.7
4 0.10 0.4 16 1.6
∑P(x)=1 ∑xP(x)=1.8 ∑x²P(x)=5.1
a) To determine that table shows a probability distribution we add up all five probabilities if the sum is 1 then it is a valid distribution.
Yes it is a probability distribution.
b) The expected value of x is defined as
c) The variance of x is defined as
d) The standard deviation of x is defined as
