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.

Answer:

±6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the mathematical expression;

√36 < √42 < √49

But, √36 = 6 * 6 = 6²

√49 = 7 * 7 = 7²

Simplifying further, we would substitute the new values respectively;

±[6] < √42 < ±[7]

Therefore, evaluating √36 is equal to ±6.
