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

What is the value of x in the equation 8x – 2y = 48, when y = 4?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

since we know y = 4, we can plug this into the equation to find x

8x - 2y = 48

8x - 2(4) = 48

8x - 8 = 48

8x = 56

x = 7

Pairs that satisfy function y=2x+1
evablogger [386]

Test a pair from each table by substituting their values into the given equation and solving.

A) y = 2x + 1 .......... 2 = 2(0) + 1 .......... 2 ≠ 1

B) y = 2x + 1 .......... 1 = 2(0) + 1 .......... 1 = 1

C) y = 2x + 1 .......... -1 = 2(0) + 1 .......... -1 ≠ 1

D) y = 2x + 1 .......... -2 = 2(0) + 1 .......... -2 ≠ 1


The only pair that satisfied the equation was from answer choice B. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
