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

Which equation represents the rectangular form of r= 8?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

put both sides under square root.

x^2 + y^2 = 64

sqrt ( x^2 + y^2 ) = sqrt(64)

x + y = 8

r = 8.

Abit is planning a birthday party for his granddad. He bought a cake for $18\$18$18dollar sign, 18. He also wants to buy some ba
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Budget = $35

Cake Spent = $18

Remaining Money = 35 - 18 = $17

Since, each balloon is worth $4, to find how many balloons he will get with remaining money ($17), we divide the the remaining money by price of each balloon:

17/4 = 4.25

We can't have fractional balloons, so Abit can get 4 balloons, MAXIMUM.

4 balloons cost = $4 per balloon * 4 = $16

So, from $17 if he spends $16 for balloons, he will have left:

$17 - $16 = $1.00
