Can I get some help on this?

Find the variance of this probability distribution. Round to two decimal places.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Variance = 4.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the variance is:

$\sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X- \mu)^{2}}{N} \\or \\ \sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\$

Where:

$X: Values \\\mu: Mean \\N: Number\ of\ values$

The mean can be calculated as each value multiplied by its probability

$\mu = 0*0.4 + 1*0.3 + 2*0.1+3*0.15+ 4*0.05=1.15$

$\frac{\Sigma (X)^{2}}{N} =\frac{(0^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+4^{2})}{5} =6$

Replacing the mean and the summatory of X:

$\sigma^{2} = \frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\= 6 - 1.15^{2}\\= 4.6775$

Suppose that x and y are both differentiable functions of t and are related by the given equation. Use implicit differentiation

stepan [7]

Answer:

Let z = f(x, y) where f(x, y) =0 then the implicit function is

$\frac{dy}{dx} =$ $\frac{-δ f/ δ x }{δ f/δ y }$

Example:- $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-(y+2x)}{(x+2y)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Partial differentiation:-

Let Z = f(x ,y) be a function of two variables x and y. Then

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x+dx,y)-f(x,y)}{dx}$ Exists , is said to be partial derivative or Partial differentiational co-efficient of Z or f(x, y)with respective to x.

It is denoted by δ z / δ x or δ f / δ x

Let Z = f(x ,y) be a function of two variables x and y. Then

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x,y+dy)-f(x,y)}{dy}$ Exists , is said to be partial derivative or Partial differentiational co-efficient of Z or f(x, y)with respective to y
