The standard deviation of a probability distribution is a: A. measure of variability of the distribution B. measure of skewness

of the distribution C. measure of central location D. measure of relative likelihood
Mathematics

GuDViN [60]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The standard deviation of a probability distribution is a measure of variability of the distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an incomplete statement. We are asked to complete the given statement.

We know that standard deviation is measure of variability or dispersion of a set of data values.

It tells up how much a data point is spread out from the average or mean of the data set.

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.

Find an equation of the circle that has center (-1,2) and passes through (5,-4).
kherson [118]
General equation for a circle
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
with (a,b) represents the center, (x,y) represents one of the points lie on the circle, and r represents the radius

Determine r² by substituting the points into the general equation
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
(5 - (-1))² + (-4 - 2)² = r²
(5 + 1)² + (-6)² = r²
6² + 36 = r²
36 + 36 = r²
72 = r²

Determine the equation of the circle
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
(x - (-1))² + (y - 2)² = 72
(x + 1)² + (y - 2)² = 72 (This is the equation of the circle)

The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region is normally distributed with = 40 and = 4. What is the probability that star
sdas [7]

Answer:

0.93970

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Denote a random variable "X" The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region . The random variable follows a normal distribution with parameters mean ( μ ) and standard deviation ( σ ) as follows:

                          X ~ Norm ( μ , σ^2 )

                          X ~ Norm ( 40 , 4^2 ).

- The probability that it rains more than 50 inches in that certain region is defined by:

                          P ( X > 50 )

- We will standardize our test value and compute the Z-score:

                          P ( Z > ( x - μ )  / σ )

Where, x : The test value

                          P (  Z > ( 50 - 40 )  / 4 )

                          P (  Z > 2.5 )

- Then use the Z-standardize tables for the following probability:

                          P ( Z < 2.5 ) = 0.0062

Therefore,          P ( X > 50 ) = 0.0062

- The probability that it rains in a certain region above 50 inches annually. is defined by:

                           q = 0.0062 ,

- The probability that it rains in a certain region rains below 50 inches annually. is defined by:

                           1 - q = 0.9938

                           n = 10 years   ..... Sample of n years taken

- The random variable "Y" follows binomial distribution for the number of years t it takes to rain over 50 inches.

                          Y ~ Bin ( 0.9938 , 0.0062 )

- The probability that it takes t = 10 years for it to rain:

                         =  10C10* ( 0.9938 )^10 * ( 0.0062 )^0

                         = ( 0.9938 )^10

                         = 0.93970

The costs of 5 similar digital cameras and 3 similar video cameras is $3,213. Each video camera costs 4 times as much as each di
mariarad [96]
Let,
digital cameras be "x"
video cameras be "y"
Now,
According to the question,
5x + 3y = $3,213..................................................equation (1)
y = 4x..................................................................equation (2)

Taking equation (1)
5x + 3y = $3,213
Substituting the value of "y" from equation (2), we get,
5x + 3(4x) = $3,213
5x + 12x = $3,213
17x = $3,213
x = $3,213 / 17
x = $189

Taking equation (2)
y = 4x
Substituting the value of "x", we get,
y = 4 ($189)
y = $756

Now,
John buys a digital and a video camera. So, it costs him ($189 + $756) = $945
