Answer:

E(X)= n \int_{0}^1 x^n dx = n [\frac{1}{n+1}- \frac{0}{n+1}]=\frac{n}{n+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

A uniform distribution, "sometimes also known as a rectangular distribution, is a distribution that has constant probability".

We need to take in count that our random variable just take values between 0 and 1 since is uniform distribution (0,1). The maximum of the finite set of elements in (0,1) needs to be present in (0,1).

If we select a value x \in (0,1) we want this:

max(U_1, ....,U_n) \leq x

And we can express this like that:

u_i \leq x for each possible i

We assume that the random variable u_i are independent and P)U_i \leq x) =x from the definition of an uniform random variable between 0 and 1. So we can find the cumulative distribution like this:

P(X \leq x) = P(U_1 \leq 1, ...., U_n \leq x) \prod P(U_i \leq x) =\prod x = x^n

And then cumulative distribution would be expressed like this:

0, x \leq 0

x^n, x \in (0,1)

1, x \geq 1

For each value x\in (0,1) we can find the dendity function like this:

f_X (x) = \frac{d}{dx} F_X (x) = nx^{n-1}

So then we have the pdf defined, and given by:

f_X (x) = n x^{n-1} , x \in (0,1)  and 0 for other case

And now we can find the expected value for the random variable X like this:

E(X) =\int_{0}^1 s f_X (x) dx = \int_{0}^1 x n x^{n-1}

E(X)= n \int_{0}^1 x^n dx = n [\frac{1}{n+1}- \frac{0}{n+1}]=\frac{n}{n+1}

Tasty Donut Shack charges $4.00 for 6 donuts. At this rate, what is the charge for 4 dozen donuts?
ElenaW [278]
$4.00 for 6 donuts would mean $1.50 per donut. There are 48 donuts in 4 dozen. $1.50 times 48 is $72. The correct answer is $72.

Which function below is the inverse of f(x)= 7x-1/2
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x}{7}+\frac{1}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have y=7x-1/2, the inverse is where we solve for x instead of y.

We can isolate x to get 7x=y+1/2, then divide by 7 to get x=y/7+1/14.

Therefore, f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x}{7}+\frac{1}{14}.

Hope that helped,
