Answer:

a) Expected Value for distribution A, E(X) = 3.020

Expected Value for distribution B, E(X) = 0.980

b) Standard deviation of distribution A = 1.157

Standard deviation of distribution B = 1.157

c) In distribution A, the bigger values of x have a higher probability of occurring than the values of distribution B (whose smaller values of x have a higher chance of occurring, hence, the expected value for distribution A is more than that of distribution B.

But according to the corresponding distribution of values, the two distributions have the same exact spread, A in ascending order (with higher values with bigger probability) and B in descending order (lower values have higher probabilities). But the same spread regardless, hence, the standard deviation which shows how data values spread around the mean (centre point) of a distribution is the same for the two distributions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected values is given as

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

where xᵢ = each possible sample space

pᵢ = P(X=xᵢ) = probability of each sample space occurring.

Distributions A and B is given by

X P(X) X P(x)

0 0.04 0 0.47

1 0.09 1 0.25

2 0.15 2 0.15

3 0.25 3 0.09

4 0.47 4 0.04

For distribution A

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ = (0×0.04) + (1×0.09) + (2×0.15) + (3×0.25) + (4×0.47) = 3.02

For distribution B

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ = (0×0.47) + (1×0.25) + (2×0.15) + (3×0.09) + (4×0.04) = 0.98

b) Standard deviation = √(variance)

But Variance is given by

Variance = Var(X) = Σx²p − μ²

where μ = E(X)

For distribution A

Σx²p = (0²×0.04) + (1²×0.09) + (2²×0.15) + (3²×0.25) + (4²×0.47) = 10.46

Variance = Var(X) = 10.46 - 3.02² = 1.3396

Standard deviation = √(1.3396) = 1.157

For distribution B

Σx²p = (0²×0.47) + (1²×0.25) + (2²×0.15) + (3²×0.09) + (4²×0.04) = 2.30

Variance = Var(X) = 2.30 - 0.98² = 1.3396

Standard deviation = √(1.3396) = 1.157

c) In distribution A, the bigger values of x have a higher probability of occurring than the values of distribution B (whose smaller values of x have a higher chance of occurring, hence, the expected value for distribution A is more than that of distribution B.

But according to the corresponding distribution of values, the two distributions have the same exact spread, A in ascending order (with higher values with bigger probability) and B in descending order (lower values have higher probabilities). But the same spread regardless, hence, the standard deviation which shows how data values spread around the mean (centre point) of a distribution is the same for the two distributions.

Solve the following equation for x.<br> 12x - 8 = 40<br><br> A. 4<br> B. 5<br> C. 6<br> D. 3
Anon25 [30]

Add 8 to both sides

12x = 40 + 8

Simplify 40 + 8 to 48

12x = 48

Divide both sides by 12

x = 48/12

Simplify 48/12 to 4

<em>x = 4</em>

<u>Answer: A. 4</u>

Decide whether the sequence 4,10,20,34,52 ....... is a linear model,
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Lineal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the sequence 4,10,20,34,52 ....... is a linear model, a quadratic model or a cubic model, the following mathematical logical reasoning must be carried out:

4 to 10 = +6

10 to 20 = +10

20 to 34 = +14

34 to 52 = +18

Thus, we can see at a glance that the sequence increases 4 numbers in each digit, adding first 6, then 10, then 14 and so on, with which the next numbers in that sequence should be 74 (+22), 100 ( +26), 130 (+30), 164 (+34), and so on.

Therefore, since there is no quadratic or cubic relationship, the sequence is linear.

Find the distance represented by 4.9 inches if 1 inch = 50 miles.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

245 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete this, you want to use the unit conversion technique in fraction form. The units for the numerator of the first fraction (thing you want to convert) should match the units of the denominator in the multiplying fraction.
