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.

Which statement is true of the function f(x) = Negative RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot? Select three options.
ycow [4]

Answer:

Options (2), (3) and (4) are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = -\sqrt[3]{x}

1). First derivative of the function = f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(-\sqrt[3]{x} )

  f'(x) = -\frac{1}{3}(x)^{-\frac{2}{3}}

  Since derivative is negative, function will be decreasing everywhere.

  Therefore, Option (1) is incorrect.

2). Since value of the function is true for every value of all real values of x.

  Domain of the function is (-∞, ∞).

  Therefore, Option (2) is correct.

3). For the given domain, range of the function will be all real values of y Or (-∞, ∞)

  Therefore, Option (3) is correct.

4). Function 'f' when reflected across x axis, equation of the reflected function will be g(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}.

 Therefore, Option (4) is correct.

5). For a point (3, -27),

  -27 = -\sqrt[3]{3}

  Therefore, Option (5) is incorrect.

You bike 3 miles the first day of your​ training, 3.3 miles the second​ day, 3.9 miles the third​ day, and 5.1 miles the fourth
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 21.9 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

1st day = 3 mi

2nd day = 3.3 mi

3rd day = 3.9 mi

4rd day = 5.1 mi

7fh day = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the pattern

Day            1           2           3         4        5          6         7

MIles          3          3.3         3.9     5.1    7.5       12.3     21.9

Gradient          0.3         0.6       1.2    2.4    4.8      9.6

We notice that the gradient is duplicating so the miles that I bike the seventh day are 21.9.
