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

Help me out please?<br>chapter : exponents and powers​
belka [17]

Answer:

\frac{125}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2^{-4} \times 15^{-3} \times 625}{5^2 \times 10^{-4}}

Lets expand all the composite numbers into prime numbers.

=> \frac{2^{-4} \times (3^{-3} \times 5^{-3}) \times 5^4}{5^2 \times (2^{-4} \times 5^{-4})}

Lets cancel 2^{-4} from numerator and denominator.

=> \frac{3^{-3} \times 5^{-3} \times 5^4}{5^2 \times 5^{-4}}

Using laws of exponents , lets solve this.

=> \frac{3^{-3} \times 5^{(-3 + 4)}}{5^{( 2 - 4)}}

=> \frac{3^{-3} \times 5^{1}}{5^{-2}}

=> 3^{-3} \times 5^{[1 - (-2)]}

=> 3^{-3} \times 5^{3}

=> \frac{5^3}{3^3} = \frac{125}{27}

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=3x-8 and passes through (1,8)
Alla [95]

Answer:

y = 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines which are parallel have the same gradient. This means that the parallel line must have a gradient of 3x

y = 3x + c

To figure out c you substitute in the given coordinate for the x and y values

8 = 3(1) + c

c = 5

y = 3x + 5
