Answer:

The expected value for the random variable is 14.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data below;

          Z                               P(Z)                        Z \times P(Z)

          9                               0.16                           1.44

         12                              0.25                             3

         15                              0.36                           5.4

         18                               0.17                           3.06

         21                          <u>    0.06    </u>                 <u>      1.26      </u>  

       Total                       <u>       1        </u>                <u>      14.16      </u>  

Now, the expected value for the random variable Z is given by;

          E(Z) = \sum Z \times P(Z)

                  = (9 \times 0.16) + (12 \times 0.25) +......+(21 \times 0.06)

                  = 14.16.

Seven times the smaller of two numbers added with two times the larger number is 635. While seven times the larger number decrea
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = smaller number, y = bigger number

7x + 2y = 635

7y - 2x = 871....rearrange...-2x + 7y = 871

7x + 2y = 635....multiply by 2

-2x + 7y = 871...multiply by 7

----------------------------------

14x + 4y = 1270 (result of multiplying by 2)

-14x + 49y = 6097 (result of multiplying by 7)

--------------------------------add

53y = 7367

y = 7367/53

y = 139

7x + 2y = 635

7x + 2(139) = 635

7x + 278 = 635

7x = 635 - 278

7x = 357

x = 357/7

x = 51

solution : x = 51 and y = 139 or (51,139)

Please help numbers 2-20 evens only
miv72 [106K]

Answer:  x=9,y=-1/3

Step-by-step explanation: This is for Q. 16

Rearrange terms to line up properly.

x-3y=10

x+3y=8

eliminate y terms

x=10

x=8   now add all like terms, remember it's a given that there's a one in

         front of a variable.

2x=18 solve for x

x=9 now plug in the nine into one of the original eq.s and solve for y

9+3y=8

3y=-1

y=-1/3  always check solutions in both eq.s to vertify. they both work

Liza bought 5/8 pound of trail mix. She gives 2/8 pound of trail mix to michael. How much trail mix does liza have left?
cricket20 [7]
Liza has 3/8 pounds of trail mix left. I just subtracted 5/8-2/8 since they have common denominators you keep the denominator the same and just subtract the numerators, so 5/8-2/8= 3/8 pounds.
