Suppose that you toss a fair six-sided {1,2,3,4,5,6} die and let X represent the outcome obtained. Find the expected volume of a

box that has a height of 24 inches and a square base with side length X inches.

Answer:

The expected volume of the box is 364 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the die is fair, then P(X=k) = 1/6 for any k in {1,2,3,4,5,6}. Let Y represent the volume of the box in cubic inches. For how the box is formed, Y = X²*24. Thus, the value of Y depends directly on the value of X, and we have

  • (When X = 1) Y = 1²*24 = 24, with probability 1/6 (the same than P(X=1)
  • (When X = 2) Y = 2²*24 = 96, with probability 1/6 (the same than P(X=2)
  • (When X = 3) Y = 3²*24 = 216, with probability 1/6 (the same than P(X=3)
  • (When X = 4) Y = 4²*24 = 384, with probability 1/6 (the same than P(X=4)
  • (When X = 5) Y = 5²*24 = 600, with probability 1/6 (the same than P(X=5)
  • (When X = 6) Y = 6²*24 = 864, with probability 1/6 (the same than P(X=6)

As a consequence, the expected volume of the box in cubic inches is

E(Y) = 1/6 * 24 + 1/6*96 + 1/6*216+ 1/6*384+ 1/6*600+1/6*864 = 364

Five less than the product of 7 and a number is equal to 3.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

x = 8/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert to math

7x - 5 = 3

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Add to both sides: 7x = 8
  2. Divide both sides by 7: x = 8/7

. For each of these intervals, list all its elements or explain why it is empty. a) [a, a] b) [a, a) c) (a, a] d) (a, a) e) (a,
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Elements are of the form

 (i) [a,a]=\{[x,y] : a\leq x\leq a, a\leq y\leq a; a\in \mathbb R\}

(ii) [a,b)=\{[x,y) :a\leq x

(iii)(a,a]=\{(x,y] :a

(iv)(a,a)=\{(x,y): a

(v) (a,b) where a>b=\{(x,y) : a>x>b,a>y>b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

(vi) [a,b] where a>b=\{[x,y] : a\geq x\geq b,a\geq y\geq b;a>b,a,b \in \mathbb R\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given intervals are,

(i) [a,a] (ii) [a,a) (iii) (a,a] (iv) (a,a) (v) (a,b) where a>b (vi)  [a,b] where a>b.

To show all its elements,

(i) [a,a]

Imply the set including aa from left as well as right side.

Its elements are of the form.

\{[a,a] : a\in \mathbb R\}=\{[0,0],[1, 1],[-1,-1],[2,2],[-2,-2],[3,3],[-3,-3],........\}

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a,a].

(ii) [a,a)

This means given interval containing a by left and exclude a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

[ 1, 1),[-1,-1),[2,2),[-2,-2),[3,3),[-3,-3),........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers withis the set, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  [a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is [a.a).

(iii) (a,a]

It means the interval not taking a by left and include a by right.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1],(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a] represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty so is (a,a].

(iv) (a,a)

Means given set excluding a by left as well as right.

Since there is a singleton element a of real numbers, this set is empty.

Its elements are of the form.

( 1, 1),(-1,-1],(2,2],(-2,-2],(3,3],(-3,-3],........

Because there is no increment so if a\in \mathbb R then the set  (a,a) represents singleton sets, and singleton sets are empty, so is (a,a).

(v) (a,b) where a>b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which not take x and y by any side of the interval.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

(a,b)=\{(5,0),(5,1),(5,2).....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.

(vi) [a,b] where a\leq b.

Which indicate the interval containing a, b such that increment of x is always greater than increment of y which include both x and y.

That is the graph is bounded by value of a and it contains elements like it we fixed a=5 then,

[a,b]=\{[5,0],[5,1],[5,2].....\} e.t.c

So this set is connected and we know singletons are connected in \mathbb R. Hence given set is empty.
