A manager at a local company asked his employees how many times they had given blood in the last year. The results of the survey

are given below. The random variable x represents the number of times a person gave blood and​ P(x) represents the probability of selecting an employee who had given blood that many times. What is the standard deviation for the number of times a person gave blood based on this​ survey? Round to the nearest hundredth. x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ​P(x) 0.30 0.25 0.20 0.12 0.07 0.04 0.02

Answer:

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 4.97 -(1.61)^2 =2.3779

And the deviation would be:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{2.3779}= 1.542 \approx 1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following distribution given:

X        0         1       2       3       4         5        6

P(X)  0.3   0.25   0.2   0.12   0.07   0.04   0.02

For this case we need to find first the expected value given by:

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

And replacing we got:

E(X)= 0*0.3 +1*0.25 +2*0.2 +3*0.12 +4*0.07+ 5*0.04 +6*0.02=1.61

Now we can find the second moment given by:

E(X^2) =\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)

And replacing we got:

E(X^2)= 0^2*0.3 +1^2*0.25 +2^2*0.2 +3^2*0.12 +4^2*0.07+ 5^2*0.04 +6^2*0.02=4.97

And the variance would be given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 4.97 -(1.61)^2 =2.3779

And the deviation would be:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{2.3779}= 1.542 \approx 1.54

A telescope is discounted 30%. Sales price is $126. Find the original price.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

180 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

if it was discounted by 30 percent, that means 126 is 70 percent of the orin=inal price. If you divide 126 by 70, you get 1.8 is the money worth 1 percent. Multiply 1.8 by 100 to get the original price, and you end up with 180 dollars.

D) 4.5 Standard Deviations Above the Mean

All you have to do is add .2 to 6.6 until you reach 7.5

6.8
7.0
7.2
7.4

 Then you only need half of .2 to reach 7.5, so it's 4.5 standard deviations above the mean
