Answer:

a) P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) = 0.02619

b) E(X) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The CDF of a random variable X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , .... } is given as:

                    F(X) = P ( X =< x) = 1 - \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)}

Find:

a.Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5

b) Find the expected value of X, E(X), using the fact that. (Hint: You will have to evaluate an infinite sum, but that will be easy to do if you notice that

Solution:

- The CDF gives the probability of (X < x) for any value of x. So to compute the P (  3 ≤X≤ 5 ) we will set the limits.

                   F(X) = P ( 3=

- The Expected Value can be determined by sum to infinity of CDF:

                   E(X) = Σ ( 1 - F(X) )

                   E(X) = \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)} = \frac{1}{(x+1)} - \frac{1}{(x+2)} \\\\= \frac{1}{(1)} - \frac{1}{(2)}\\\\= \frac{1}{(2)} - \frac{1}{(3)} \\\\=  \frac{1}{(3)} - \frac{1}{(4)}\\\\= ............................................\\\\=  \frac{1}{(n)} - \frac{1}{(n+1)}\\\\=  \frac{1}{(n+1)} - \frac{1}{(n+ 2)}

                   E(X) = Limit n->∞ [1 - 1 / ( n + 2 ) ]  

                   E(X) = 1

Four dice, each numbered in the usual way from 1 to 6, are colored white, red, green and blue respectively. After casting them a
Delvig [45]
Suppose that the numbers that the boy being cast from the dice are 3 4 5 6.
 3 stands for white, 4 stands for red, 5 stands for green and 6 stands for blue.
  We need to interpret the statement given above.   The set of numbers is 3 4 4 6 6 5.
First, we need to get the mean of this set. Add all the numbers and divide by the total number that the set has. 
 3+4+4+6+6+5=  28 / 6
                        = 4.67    The mean is 4.67
For the variance, we will use the mean above ( 4.67 )

1. Squared the mean and subtract how many numbers are present in the set. 
   4.67x4.67= 21.8089 /6 = 3.64 set aside this result
2. Next squared all the numbers present in the set and add the result 

  3x3= 9 , 4x4= 16, 4x4=16, 6x6=36, 6x6=36, 5x5=25

9+16+16+36+36+25= 138 

3. Subtract the result of #2 with #1
          138 - 3.64=  134.36 set this aside

4. Subtract 1 from the total numbers you have in your set

 6 - 1= 5 

5. Divide the result we have in #3 with the result of #4

  134.36 / 5= 26. 872

So the variance is 26.872

Y varies directly as x. Y=42 when x=6. Find the value of y when x =15.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

y=120

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly as x is written as

y \alpha x

introducing a constant

y=kx

<em>from</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>ques</em><em>tion</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>whe</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>4</em><em>8</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>6</em>

<em>sub</em><em>stitute</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>form</em><em>ula</em>

<em>4</em><em>8</em><em>=</em><em>6</em><em>k</em>

<em>making</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> subject</em><em> </em><em>by </em><em>divi</em><em>ding</em><em> </em><em>thr</em><em>ough</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>6</em>

<em>\frac{48}{6}  =  \frac{6k}{6}</em>

k=48/6

k=8

<em>put</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>va</em><em>lue</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>expression</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>kx</em>

<em>y</em><em>=</em><em>8</em><em>x</em>

from the question,the value of y when x=15 is given by

y=8×15

y=120.
