Answer:

8 represents the rate of change while 6 represents the initial value

Step-by-step explanation:

For every additional kilometer d that we walks, d increases by 1 and m increases by 8 times d. So 8 represents the rate of change.

At d = 0, meaning d = 0, m = 8*0 + 6 = 6. So he gets 6 at before having to walk. So 6 represents the initial value

Suppose we roll a fair die and let X represent the number on the die. (a) Find the moment generating function of X. (b) Use the

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

(a) moment generating function for X is $\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{2 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$

(b) $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

Step-by step explanation:

Given X represents the number on die.

The possible outcomes of X are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

For a fair die, $P(X)=\frac{1}{6}$

(a) Moment generating function can be written as $M_{x}(t)$ .

$M_x(t)=\sum_{x=1}^{6} P(X=x)$

$M_{x}(t)=\frac{1}{6} e^{t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{2 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{3 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{4 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{5 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{6 t}$

$M_x(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$

(b) Now, find $E(X) \text { and } E\((X^{2})$ using moment generating function

$M^{\prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+2 e^{2 t}+3 e^{3 t}+4 e^{4 t}+5 e^{5 t}+6 e^{6 t}\right)$

$M^{\prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+2+3+4+5+6)$

$\Rightarrow E(X)=\frac{21}{6}$

$M^{\prime \prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+4 e^{2 t}+9 e^{3 t}+16 e^{4 t}+25 e^{5 t}+36 e^{6 t}\right)$

$M^{\prime \prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+4+9+16+25+36)$

$\Rightarrow E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

Hence, (a) moment generating function for X is $\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$ .

(b) $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

At the car show Inez saw a truck wheel shaped like a circle with a radius of 3 ft. She wants to know the area of the truck wheel

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$28.27ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the area of a circle formula:

$A=\pi r^2$

<em>A = area</em>

<em>r = radius</em>

Lets plug the values into the equation:

$A=\pi (3^2)$ Calculate $3^2$

$A=\pi (9)$ Multiply $\pi$ and 9 together

$A=28.27$

The area of the truck wheel is $28.27ft^2$
