Let X be a random variable with probability mass function

Mathematics
1 answer:
Naya [18.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

a. g(x) = ln(x).

b. g(x) = x*e^{xt}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition, the expected value of a random variable X with probability mass function p is given by \sum P(X=x)\cdot x where the sum runs over all the posible values of X. Given a function g, the random variable Y=g(X) is defined. Note that the function g induces a probability mass function P' given by P'(Y=k) = P(X=g^{-1}(k)) when the function g is bijective.

a. Note that for 1/3ln(2)+1/6ln(5) by choosing the function g(x) = ln(x) the expression coincides with E(g(x)), because if Y = g(x)  then E(Y) = P'(Y=1)*ln(1)+P'(Y=2)*ln(2)+P'(Y=5)*ln(5) = P(X=1)*ln(1)+P(X=2)*ln(2)+P(X=5)*ln(5).

b. On the same fashion, the function g(x) = xe^{xt} fullfills the expression of E[g(X)]

What is m∠A ?<br> Please see attachment <br> (The Triangle Sum Theorem)
goblinko [34]
The triangle sum theorem says all 3 interior angles must equal 180 degrees.

so, 43 + 35 = 78.  [ 180 - 78 = 102 degrees for the missing angles shared by the 2 triangles.

102 + 18 = 120.  [180 - 120 = 60}

leaving the measure of Angle A as 60 degrees.

An isotope of iodine has a mass of 134 amu. How many neutrons does the
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct option is C: the isotope of iodine contains 81 neutrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass (A) of the iodine isotope is given by:

A = Z + N

Where:

Z: is the number of protons

N: is the number of neutrons

For iodine Z= 53, so if A = 134 the number of neutrons is:

N = A - Z = 134 - 53 = 81

Therefore, the correct option is C. The isotope of iodine contains 81 neutrons.

I hope it helps you!

sveticcg [70]

The quadrilateral formed by this process will always be a parallelogram

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

A quadrilateral is simply any polygon that has four sides and four corners.

Common examples are:

  • Square
  • Rectangle
  • Rhombus
  • Kite
  • Trapezoid
  • Rhombus
  • Parallelogram

<h3>Figure 1</h3>

A square is drawn at the coordinates:

(0,0), (6,0), (0,6) and (6,6)

The midpoints of the square sides are at the following coordinates:

(0,3), (3,6), (6,3) and (3,0)

When the points of the midpoints are joined together, they form a parallelogram

<h3>Figure 2</h3>

A trapezoid is drawn at the coordinates:

(0,0), (2,6), (8,6) and (10,0)

The midpoints of the square sides are at the following coordinates:

(5,0), (5,6), (1,3) and (9,3)

When the points of the midpoints are joined together, they form a parallelogram

Hence, the quadrilateral formed by this process will always be a parallelogram
