A random variable X follows the uniform distribution with a lower limit of 670 and an upper limit of 750.a. Calculate the mean a

nd the standard deviation for the distribution. (Round intermediate calculation for standard deviation to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

You can compute both the mean and second moment directly using the density function; in this case, it's

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\frac1{750-670}=\frac1{80}&\text{for }670\le x\le750\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

Then the mean (first moment) is

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x\,f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac1{80}\int_{670}^{750}x\,\mathrm dx=710

and the second moment is

E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2\,f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac1{80}\int_{670}^{750}x^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{1,513,900}3

The second moment is useful in finding the variance, which is given by

V[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2=\dfrac{1,513,900}3-710^2=\dfrac{1600}3

You get the standard deviation by taking the square root of the variance, and so

\sqrt{V[X]}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1600}3}\approx23.09

A plane is flying within sight of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, at an elevation of 30,000 ft. The pilot would like to
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

X = 33,669.78 ft

Y = 15285.76 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

let x be the distance btwn arch and plane

and y be the distance btwn  ground point  and arch y

we know that

cos\theta =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotaneous}

cos(27) = \frac{30,000}{x}

xcos27 = 30000

x = \frac{30000}{cos 27}

x = 33,669.78 ft

b) we knwo that

tan \theta  = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan 27 = \frac{y}{30000}

y = tan(27) (30000)

y = 15285.76 ft

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h2>(1, 4)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x=-y+6&(1)\\-4x+3y=8&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(1)\\-y+6=2x\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\-y=2x-6\qquad\text{change the signs}\\y=6-2x\\\\\text{substitute it to (2):}\\\\(2)\\-4x+3(6-2x)=8\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\-4x+(3)(6)+(3)(-2x)=8\\-4x+18-6x=8\qquad\text{subtract 18 from both sides}\\-10x=-10\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\x=1\\\\\text{put the value of x to (1):}\\\\y=6-2(1)\\y=6-2\\y=4

What is the function f(x) = 2(x + 6), find x if f(x) = 22
lord [1]

Answer:

<h3>x = 5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2(x + 6)

f(x) = 22

thereofre we have the equation:

2(x + 6) = 22      <em>use distributive property</em>

2x + 12 = 22     <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

2x = 10     <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

x = 5
