(From an actuarial exam) The random variables X and Y have joint probability mass function p(x, y) for x = 0, 1 and y = 0, 1, 2.

Suppose that 3p(1, 1) = p(1, 2) and p(1, 1) maximizes the variance of XY . Calculate the probability that X or Y is zero.

Answer:

0.4696

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: we say,

p(0,1) + p(0,2) + p(1,1) + p(1,0) + 3p(1,2) + p(0,0) = 1

P(Y=0) + p(X=0) - p(X=0, Y=0) + 4p(1,1) = 1.

Step2: let p(1,1)= w.

Therefore, 3w= p(1,2)

E(XY)= 2p(1,2) + p(1,1)

= 7w.

E[(XY)^2] = 4p(1,2) + p(1,1)

=13w.

variance(XY) = E[(XY)^2] - [E( XY)]^2

= -49w+ 13w

therefore, 0,1 are elements of w.

Step 3: calculate the derivative

13= 2x × 49

X = 13÷98

X= 0.1326

X=0, Y=0 = 1

= 1 - [0.1326 × (-4)]

= 0.4696.

Help.... and thanks
Archy [21]

Answer:

π

Step-by-step explanation:

The *period* of a function is the length it takes before it repeats. Usually, the period of the sine function is 2π; it takes a full rotation around the unit circle for it to repeat. When we replace the input x with -2x, this does a few things:

- Changes the rotation direction

- Makes the rotation go twice as fast

If we rotate around the unit circle twice as fast, it’ll take us half of 2π, or just π to complete a cycle.

Of 100 diners in a restaurant, 45 ordered the fish of the day and 14 are wearing a dress. Of the diners who ordered fish, 8 are
vaieri [72.5K]

<span>1.     </span>The probability that one of the diners orders fish = number of diners who ordered fish / total number of diners

p1=45/100=0.45

<span>2.     </span>The probability that one of the diners is wearing dress= number of diners wearing dress/ total number of diners

<span>3.     </span>p2=14/100=0.14

<span>The probability that one of the diners ordered the fish or is wearing a dress is: p=0.45+0.14=0.59</span>

Mr. Haley is leaning a ladder against the side of his house to repair the roof.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the Pythagorean theorem,

x^2 + y^2 = n^2

in this case

x= 16

y = 12

so substitute back into the equation

16^2 + 12^2 = n^2

256 + 144 = n^2

400 = n^2

sqrt ( 400) = n

20 = n
