verestimate or an underestimate of the true value? overestimate underestimate (b) Estimate the area under the curve using a right-hand sum with n = 4. 248
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) 120 square units (underestimate)
(b) 248 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>(a) left sum</u>
See the attachment for a diagram of the areas being summed (in orange). This is the sum of the first 4 table values for f(x), each multiplied by 2 (the width of the rectangle). Quite clearly, the curve is above the rectangle for the entire interval, so the rectangle area underestimates the area under the curve.
left sum = 2(1 + 5 + 17 + 37) = 2(60) = 120 . . . . square units
<u>(b) right sum</u>
The right sum is the sum of the last 4 table values for f(x), each multiplied by 2 (the width of the rectangle). This sum is ...
right sum = 2(5 +17 + 37 +65) = 2(124) = 248 . . . . square units

Given:
The faces on a number cube are labeled 1,2,2,3,4, and 5.
The number cube is rolled 114 times.
To find:
How many times would you expect the number 2 to appear?
Solution:
We have,
Total outcomes = 1,2,2,3,4, and 5.
Number of total outcomes = 6
Favorable outcomes = 2 and 2
Number of favorable outcomes = 2
The probability of getting 2 is:
Now, the expected number of times when 2 to appear is:
Therefore, the expected number of times is 38.
