Answer:

y=(-4/3)x

Step-by-step explanation:

you put the points into this equation to find the slope

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

now lets label the points

(6,-8)

x1=6 and y1=-8

(3,-4)

x2=3 and y2=-4

Input into equation

(-4-(-8))/(3-6)=

(-4+8)/(3-6)

4/-3

Suppose that W1, W2, and W3 are independent uniform random variables with the following distributions: Wi ~ Uni(0,10*i). What is

nadya68 [22]

I'll leave the computation via R to you. The $W_i$ are distributed uniformly on the intervals $[0,10i]$ , so that

$f_{W_i}(w)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{10i}&\text{for }0\le w\le10i\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

each with mean/expectation

$E[W_i]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty wf_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac w{10i}\,\mathrm dw=5i$

and variance

$\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=E[(W_i-E[W_i])^2]=E[{W_i}^2]-E[W_i]^2$

We have

$E[{W_i}^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty w^2f_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac{w^2}{10i}\,\mathrm dw=\frac{100i^2}3$

so that

$\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=\dfrac{25i^2}3$

Now,

$E[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[W_1]+E[W_2]+E[W_3]=5+10+15=30$

and

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E\left[\big((W_1+W_2+W_3)-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]\big)^2\right]$

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]^2$

We have

$(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2={W_1}^2+{W_2}^2+{W_3}^2+2(W_1W_2+W_1W_3+W_2W_3)$

$E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]$

$=E[{W_1}^2]+E[{W_2}^2]+E[{W_3}^2]+2(E[W_1]E[W_2]+E[W_1]E[W_3]+E[W_2]E[W_3])$

because $W_i$ and $W_j$ are independent when $i\neq j$ , and so

$E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]=\dfrac{100}3+\dfrac{400}3+300+2(50+75+150)=\dfrac{3050}3$

giving a variance of

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{3050}3-30^2=\dfrac{350}3$

and so the standard deviation is $\sqrt{\dfrac{350}3}\approx\boxed{116.67}$

# # #

A faster way, assuming you know the variance of a linear combination of independent random variables, is to compute

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]$

$=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]+2(\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_2]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_3]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_2,W_3])$

and since the $W_i$ are independent, each covariance is 0. Then

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]$

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{25}3+\dfrac{100}3+75=\dfrac{350}3$

and take the square root to get the standard deviation.

Question number 8. Prove that 3 + √5 is an irrational number.

Marina86 [1]

Answer :

Let's assume the opposite of the statement i.e., 3 + √5 is a rational number.

$\\ \sf \: 3 + \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b} \\ \\ \qquad \: \tiny \sf{(where \: \: a \: \: and \: \: b \: \: are \: \: integers \: \: and \: \: b \: \neq \: 0)} \\$

$\\ \sf \: \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b} - 3 = \frac{a - 3b}{b} \\$

Since, a, b and 3 are integers. So,

$\\ \sf \: \frac{p - 3b}{b} \\ \\ \qquad \tiny \sf{ \: (is \: \: a \: \: rational \: \: number \:) } \\$

Here, it contradicts that √5 is an irrational number.

because of the wrong assumption that 3 + √5 is a rational number.

$\\$

Hence, 3 + √5 is an irrational number.

What is the answer to this?

myrzilka [38]

Answer:r=3cm,diameter =6cm and C=18.84cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius,diameter and circumference according to the diagram drawn above

r=3cm

Diameter=2×3cm

d=6cm

To find the circumference

C=2πr

C=2×3.14×3cm

C=18.84cm
