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.

Answer:

1/2 ÷ 4 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing fractions is as easy as pie. Flip the second and multiply.

1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8

A whole number secretly has a 1 underneath, like this: 4/1

Flip the second number over to get 1/4, then multiply straight across.

\frac{1}{2} × \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{8}

Try to do the same for the other answers and see if they're right (they're not).

1/8 x 1/6 = 1/48

1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12

1/9 x 1/2 = 1/18

What is the vertex of the absolute value function defined by f(x)=|x+5|+7?
irina1246 [14]

The vertex of the function f(x) = |x - a| is in (a, 0).

f(x) + a - shift the graph of function f(x) a units up.

Therefore:

The verex of y = |x + 5| is in (-5, 0).

The vertex of y + 7 = f(x) = |x + 5| + 7 is in (-5, 0 + 7) = (-5, 7).
