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.

A volcanic cone has a diameter of 300 meters and height of 150 meters. What is the volume of the cone?
marusya05 [52]
So a diameter is twice the radius
The formula is:
V = π(r^2)(h/3)
the half of 300 is 150, so the radius is 150
V = π(150^2)(150/3)
V = π(22500)(50)

John is buying fencing for his yard. He pays $122 for 5 fence boards and 4 fence panels. He pays $570 for 21 fence boards and 20
Anni [7]
It is 24 dollars and 40 cents $24.40 because you just divide 122 by 5 and you get 24.4 and then you multiply 24.40 times 3 and you will get $73.20

What is the equation in point-slope from for the line that passes through the points (-3,5) and (2,-3)?
Aleks [24]

Answer:

y + 3 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x - 2]\:or\:y - 5 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x + 3]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

\frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m

\frac{-5 - 3}{3 + 2} = -\frac{8}{5} = -1\frac{3}{5}

Now input the slope into the Point-Slope Formula. In this formula, all negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs:

y - y_1 = m[x - x_1]

y + 3 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x - 2]\:or\:y - 5 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x + 3]

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
