In a pizza takeout restaurant, the following probability distribution was obtained for the number of toppings ordered on a large

pizza. Find the mean and standard deviation for the random variable.
Mathematics

Elis [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The random variable (number of toppings ordered on a large pizza) has a mean of 1.14 and a standard deviation of 1.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>The probability distribution is:</em>

<em>x   P(x) </em>

<em> 0   0.30 </em>

<em>1    0.40 </em>

<em>2   0.20 </em>

<em>3   0.06 </em>

<em>4   0.04</em>

The mean can be calculated as:

M=\sum p_iX_i=0.3\cdot 0+0.4\cdot 1+0.2\cdot 2+0.06\cdot 3+0.04\cdot 4\\\\M=0+0.4+0.4+0.18+0.16\\\\M=1.14

(pi is the probability of each class, Xi is the number of topping in each class)

The standard deviation is calculated as:

s=\sqrt{\sum p_i(X_i-M)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{0.3(0-1.14)^2+0.4(1-1.14)^2+0.2(2-1.14)^2+0.06(3-1.14)^2+0.04(4-1.14)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{0.3(-1.14)^2+0.4(-0.14)^2+0.2(0.86)^2+0.06(1.86)^2+0.04(2.86)^2}\\\\ s=\sqrt{0.3(1.2996)+0.4(0.0196)+0.2(0.7396)+0.06(3.4596)+0.04(8.1796)}\\\\s=\sqrt{0.3899+0.0078+0.1479+0.2076+0.3272}\\\\ s=\sqrt{ 1.0804 }\\\\s\approx 1.04

Express the given linear equation in slope intercept form and identify the slope and y- intercept of -2x+7y=28
AlekseyPX
Slope-intercpet is y=mx+b where m=slope
b=y intercept
convert
-2x+7y=28
add 2x to both sides
7y=2x+28
divide both sides by 7
y=2/7x+4
slope=2/7
y-intercept=4 or the point (0,4)

Function 1: y = 4x + 5
evablogger [386]
Answer: function 1

Rate of change of function 1:
Following the format of y=mx+c, the rate of change should be m, so, the rate of change for function 1 = 4

To find the gradient (rate of change):
The two points the line passes through are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), which in this case is (1, 6) and (3, 10)
(Doesn't matter which is which but you need to make sure that once you decide which is which, you stick to it)
To calculate the gradient, you substitute these values following (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

Gradient of function 2 = (10 - 6)/(3 - 1)
= 2

Therefore, since 4 > 2, rate of change of function 1 > rate of change of function 2.

Y varies directly as X , and Y=1.2 when X=1.6.Solve for points.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

I don' think that Y varies directly like X does because first they're different numbers. Y=1.2 and X=1.6.

75 out of 300 oranges in a basket are bad. what percent age of the oranges are (a) bad (b)good
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

a) 25% are bad

b) 75% are good

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 300 oranges total and that 75 are bad. That means that the rest are good (implied).

300 - 75 = 225 good oranges.

So to find the percentage we have to take the selected amount divided by the total amount.

Bad Apples:                               Good Apples:

75 / 300 = 0.25                          225/300 = 0.75

However, that's a decimal or <em>a number out of 1, </em>we need a percent or <em>a number out of 100.</em> So we have to multiply both numbers by 100.

Bad Apples = 25%

Good Apples = 75%

The volume of a cone with a height of 10 meters is 20 pi cubic meters. what is the diameter of the cone?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2√6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the vol. of a cone is V = (1/3)(area of base)(height).

Here, V = 20π m³ = (1/3)(area of the base)(10 m)

We need to solve for (area of the base).

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (3/10) results in:

(3/10)(20 π m³) = (area of the base)

This simplifies to 6π m² = (area of the base)

We still must find the diameter of the base.  Let's find the radius of the base first:      The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr².  Here we have 6π m² = πr², which tells us that r² = 6 m².  Since d = 2r, and r = d/2, r² = d²/4.     Then the equation 6 m² = r²  becomes:

6 m² = d²/4.

Solve this for d.   Multiplying both sides by 4, we get:

24 m² = d²2, and d = √(24 m²) = 2√6 m  

The cone diameter is 2√6 m.
