The number of people in a car that crosses a certain bridge is represented by the random variable X, which has a mean value

src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmu_X" id="TexFormula1" title="\mu_X" alt="\mu_X" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> = 2.7, and a variance \sigma^2_X = 1.2. The toll on the bridge is $3.00 per car plus $ .50 per person in the car. The mean and variance of the total amount of money that is collected from a car that crosses the bridge are:a. mean = $1.35, variance = $ .30.b. mean = $8.60, variance = $ .30.c. mean = $8.60, variance = $ .60.d. mean = $4.35, variance = $3.30.e. mean = $4.35, variance = $ .30.

Answer:

E(Y) = 3 + 0.5 *2.7 = 3+1.35 = 4.35

Var (Y) = 0.5^2 Var (X) = 0.25 *(1.2) = 0.3

And then we have the following parameters for the random variable Y

\mu_Y = 4.35 , \sigma^2_Y = 0.3

And the best option is:e. mean = $4.35, variance = $ .30.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the following info " The toll on the bridge is $3.00 per car plus $ .50 per person in the car"

So then we can create the following linear function:

Y = 3 + 0.5 X

Where Y represent the total amount of money that is collected from a car. And X represent the number of people in the car.

We have the parameters for the random variable X given by:

E(X) = \mu_X = 2.7 , \sigma^2_x = 1.2

So then we can find the expected value for the random variable Y like this:

E(Y) = 3 + 0.5 E(X)

And if we replace the expected value for X we got this:

E(Y) = 3 + 0.5 *2.7 = 3+1.35 = 4.35

Now we can find the variance for the random variable Y like this:

Var (Y) = Var (3) + 0.5^2 Var(X) + 2 Cov(3, 0.5X)

We know that for a number we don't have variance since is a constant and the covariance between a number and a random variable is 0 so then we have just this for the variance of Y:

Var (Y) = 0.5^2 Var (X) = 0.25 *(1.2) = 0.3

And then we have the following parameters for the random variable Y

\mu_Y = 4.35 , \sigma^2_Y = 0.3

And the best option is:e. mean = $4.35, variance = $ .30.

Determine whether each question is biased. Explain your answer.
Kisachek [45]
Biased because the survey was conducted in a limited field of people aka health club which does not include other people, perhaps an unhealthy club? Or the people who are not a part of the health club? Or people who do not care about their health?

Find an equation of the sphere with center (2, −10, 3) and radius 5. $$25=(x−2)2+(y−(−10))2+(z−3)2 use an equation to describe i
lana66690 [7]

In the x,y plane, we have z=0 everywhere. So in the equation of the sphere, we have

25=(x-2)^2+(y+10)^2+(-3)^2\implies(x-2)^2+(y+10)^2=16=4^2

which is a circle centered at (2, -10, 0) of radius 4.

In the x,z plane, we have y=0, which gives

25=(x-2)^2+10^2+(z-3)^2\implies(x-2)^2+(z-3)^2=-75

But any squared real quantity is positive, so there is no intersection between the sphere and this plane.

In the y,z plane, x=0, so

25=(-2)^2+(y+10)^2+(z-3)^2\implies(y+10)^2+(z-3)^2=21=(\sqrt{21})^2

which is a circle centered at (0, -10, 3) of radius \sqrt{21}.

Grade 9 maths!!! Due tonight
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

a. 7 by 21

b. a(-12, 2), b(-12, -5), c(9, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

AD is 3 times the length of AB. X can be the length of AB. Then 3x would be the length of AD. The perimeter is 56, which would also be 3x + x + 3x + x which is 8x. This gives us 8x = 56, meaning that x is 7, or the length of AB is 7. Because AD is 3 times the length of AB (which is 7), AD = 21. Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle ABCD is 7 by 21.

Coordinates of A have to be 21 units away from D since AD = 21. It goes in the left direction, meaning that 21 is subtracted from 9 (since this is a horizontal edge involving x coordinates) while the y value remains the same. The result is (-12, 2). For coordinate B, it has to be 7 units away from A downwards since AB = 7. This means that you subtract 7 from 2 (involving only the y coordinates), resulting in (-12, -5). For coordinate C, it has to be 21 units from B since BC = AD = 21.  Because C is right compared to B, you have to add 21 to -12 (involving only the x coordinate) resulting in (9, -5).
