It would be: 59.99*10 /100 = $5.99

discount rate = $5.99

game price after discount = $59.99-$5.99 = $54

A rectangle is such that the length of 2 of each adjacent sides are in the ratio 1:3. A similar rectangle has 1 side of 6cm. Fin

Sliva [168]

Answer:

18 cm ;

2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of each adjacent side = 1 :3

If 1 side = 6 ; the possible values of the adjacent side ;

That is side 2 ÷

If side 1, which is 6cm is the ratio 1 ; then side 2 = 6cm * 3 = 18 cm

If side 1, which is 6cm is the ratio 3 ; then side 2 = 6cm / 3 = 2 cm

Hence, the two Possible values of the adjacent side = 18 cm or 2 cm

Suppose that W1, W2, and W3 are independent uniform random variables with the following distributions: Wi ~ Uni(0,10*i). What is

nadya68 [22]

I'll leave the computation via R to you. The $W_i$ are distributed uniformly on the intervals $[0,10i]$ , so that

$f_{W_i}(w)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{10i}&\text{for }0\le w\le10i\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

each with mean/expectation

$E[W_i]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty wf_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac w{10i}\,\mathrm dw=5i$

and variance

$\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=E[(W_i-E[W_i])^2]=E[{W_i}^2]-E[W_i]^2$

We have

$E[{W_i}^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty w^2f_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac{w^2}{10i}\,\mathrm dw=\frac{100i^2}3$

so that

$\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=\dfrac{25i^2}3$

Now,

$E[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[W_1]+E[W_2]+E[W_3]=5+10+15=30$

and

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E\left[\big((W_1+W_2+W_3)-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]\big)^2\right]$

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]^2$

We have

$(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2={W_1}^2+{W_2}^2+{W_3}^2+2(W_1W_2+W_1W_3+W_2W_3)$

$E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]$

$=E[{W_1}^2]+E[{W_2}^2]+E[{W_3}^2]+2(E[W_1]E[W_2]+E[W_1]E[W_3]+E[W_2]E[W_3])$

because $W_i$ and $W_j$ are independent when $i\neq j$ , and so

$E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]=\dfrac{100}3+\dfrac{400}3+300+2(50+75+150)=\dfrac{3050}3$

giving a variance of

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{3050}3-30^2=\dfrac{350}3$

and so the standard deviation is $\sqrt{\dfrac{350}3}\approx\boxed{116.67}$

# # #

A faster way, assuming you know the variance of a linear combination of independent random variables, is to compute

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]$

$=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]+2(\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_2]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_3]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_2,W_3])$

and since the $W_i$ are independent, each covariance is 0. Then

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]$

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{25}3+\dfrac{100}3+75=\dfrac{350}3$

and take the square root to get the standard deviation.
