Two fair dice each have 5 sides numbered 1-5. Let X be the sum of the two dice. Determine (a, 10%) the probability distribution

of X and verify that the sum of all probabilities is equal to 1, (b, 10%) the expectation value of X and (c, 10%) the standard deviation of X.

Answer:

X          2        3        4       5          6         7         8       9         10

P(X)   1/25   2/25   3/25  4/25    5/25  4/25    3/25   2/25   1/25

E(X) = 2* \frac{1}{25} + 3* \frac{2}{25} +4* \frac{3}{25} +5* \frac{4}{25}+ 6* \frac{5}{25} +7*\frac{4}{25}+ 8* \frac{3}{25} +9* \frac{2}{25} +10* \frac{1}{25}=6

E(X^2) = 4* \frac{1}{25} + 9* \frac{2}{25} +16* \frac{3}{25} +25* \frac{4}{25}+ 36* \frac{5}{25} +49*\frac{4}{25}+ 64* \frac{3}{25} +81* \frac{2}{25} +100* \frac{1}{25}=40

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 40 -(6)^2 = 40-36 =4

Sd(X) = \sqrt{4} =2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the possible values for the experiment on this case are:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5)

And if we define the random variable X as the sum of two dice we have that the sample space is given by:

S = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

Now we can calculate the probability distribution counting calculating empirical probabilities and we have this distribution:

X          2        3        4       5          6         7         8       9         10

P(X)   1/25   2/25   3/25  4/25    5/25  4/25    3/25   2/25   1/25

And is verified that the sum of all the probabilities is 1.

The empirical probability for each case is calculated counting how many pairs represent an specific value for the sum divided by the 25 possibilities.

Now we can find the expected value with the following formula:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^9 X_i P(X_i)

And if we replace we got:

E(X) = 2* \frac{1}{25} + 3* \frac{2}{25} +4* \frac{3}{25} +5* \frac{4}{25}+ 6* \frac{5}{25} +7*\frac{4}{25}+ 8* \frac{3}{25} +9* \frac{2}{25} +10* \frac{1}{25}=6

And for the standard deviation first we need to calculate the variance, and we can begin this calculating the expectation for the second moment given by:

E(X^2) = 4* \frac{1}{25} + 9* \frac{2}{25} +16* \frac{3}{25} +25* \frac{4}{25}+ 36* \frac{5}{25} +49*\frac{4}{25}+ 64* \frac{3}{25} +81* \frac{2}{25} +100* \frac{1}{25}=40

And the variance would be given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 40 -(6)^2 = 40-36 =4

And the deviation would be just the square root of the variance and we got:

Sd(X) = \sqrt{4} =2

Minus p both sides
xy=5-p
divide both sides by x

Solve to find side C please
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

c= 18.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj/ hyp

cos theta = a/c

cos 57 = 10/c

Multiply each side by c

c cos 57 =10

Divide each side by cos 57

c = 10/cos 57

c=18.36078459

Rounding to the nearest tenth

c= 18.4
