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

The stock of Company A lost 2% today to $46.55. What was the opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

$2327.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The stock of company A lost 2% today .

Let the price of the stock at the beginning of the day be A.

Therefore, a 2% loss of A = $46.55

That’s

2% /100% x A = $46.55

0.02 x A = $46.55

Divide both sides by 0.02

0.02/0.02 x A = $46.55/0.02

A = $2327.5

The price of stock at the beginning of the opening day was $2327.5

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: A coefficient refers to a number or quantity placed with a variable

Step-by-step explanation: For example, in the expression 3x, 3 is the coefficient but in the expression x2 + 3, 1 is the coefficient of x2. In other words, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in the terms of a polynomial, a series, or any expression.
