Answer: E(Y) = 1.6 and Var(Y)=1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

X       0        1       2

P(X)   0.4   0.4    0.2

Here, number of games = 2

So, Y=X_1+X_2

Since X_1\ and\ X_2 are independent variables.

so, E[Y]=2E[X]\\\\Var[Y]=2Var[X]

So, we get that

E(X)=0.4\times 0+0.4\times 1+0.2\times 2=0.8\\\\and Var[x]=E[x^2]-(E[x])^2\\\\E[x^2]=0\times 0.4+1\times 0.4+4\times 0.2=1.2\\\\So, Var[x]=1.2-(0.8)^2\\\\Var[x]=1.2-0.64=0.56

So, E[y]=2×0.8=1.6

and Var[y]=2×0.56=1.12

Hence, E(Y) = 1.6 and Var(Y)=1.12

Please help! Need help asap!
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles in the triangle in the question are 58 degrees and 54 degrees.

Three angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees

58 + 54 + x = 180

112 + x = 180

subtract 112 on both sides

x = 180 - 112 = 68 degrees

Only option A has a triangle that has the same angles, thus triangles are similar.

Question f and G are not well formatted ;

h. Check attached picture

I) i. Are A and B mutually exclusive? Are A and C mutually exclusive? Are B and C mutually exclusive?

A and B are mutually exclusive if AnB = ∅

Check :

AnB = {1TT}

Hence, A and B are not mutually exclusive

A and C

AnC = {1HT, 1TH}

A and C are not mutually exclusive.

B and C

BnC = ∅

B and C are mutually exclusive
