Answer:

The mean of function provided is 1.186.

The variance of the provided f(x) is 0.198

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that the probability mass function is,

f(x)= (214/43)×(1/6)ˣ; x=1,2,3

The mean is calculated as,

E(X)=∑  x × f(x)

        x

=1×(216/43)×(1/6)¹ + 2 × (216/43)×(1/6)² × 3 × (216/43)×(1/6)³

=36/43 + 12/43  +3/43

​  =1.186

​  

The mean of function provided is 1.186

Explanation | Common mistakes | Hint for next step

The expected value of the probability mass function,f(x)= (216/43×(1/6)ˣ

 is 1.1861.186 .

Step 2 of 2

To calculate the variance, first calculate  E(X²)=∑ x² × f(x)

= 1² ×(216/43) × (1/6)¹ + 2² × (216/43) × (1/6)² × 3² × (216/43) ×(1/6)³

=36/43 +24/43 +9/43

=1.605

​  

The variance is calculated as,

V(X) =E(X²) - [E(X)]²

=1.605 -(1.186)²

= 0.198

The variance of the provided f(x) is 0.198

Explanation | Common mistakes

The variance of function f(x)=(216/43) × (1/6)ˣ ; x =1,2,3 is 0.198

Solve for x. 1.1x + 1.2x - 5.4 = -10
Andru [333]

Answer:

x ≈  - 1.83

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for x in the question 1.1x + 1.2x - 5.4 = -10

we have

2.3x - 5.4 = -10

collect the like terms

2.3x = -10 + 5.4

2.3x = -4.2

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

2.3x/2.3 = -4.2/2.3

x = -1.826

x ≈  - 1.83
