Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Write equations the represent the problem.

let a be the number of adult tickets sold

let t be the number of student tickets sold

a + t = 447    The sum of student and adult tickets is total number of tickets.

a - 53 = t      There were fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets.

Use substitution, where you replace one variable with an equation.

Replace t for a-53 in a + t = 447. Then isolate the "a" variable.

a + t = 447

a + (a - 53) = 447

a + a - 53 = 447      <= remove the brackets

2a - 53 = 447      <=collect like terms (numbers with the same variable)

2a = 500       <= divide both sides by 2

a = 250    <= number of adult tickets sold

Therefore 250 adult tickets were sold.

If you wanted to find student tickets too:

Since we know a=250, replace a with 250 in a + t = 447

a + t = 447

250 + t = 447

t = 447 - 250

t = 197    <=number of student tickets sold

Check your answer by making sure the equations are true:

t + a = 447

197 + 250 = 447

447 = 447

LS = RS

Is student tickets 53 less than adult tickets?

a - 53 = t

250 - 53 = 197

197 = 197

LS = RS

Square of a standard normal: Warmup 1.0 point possible (graded, results hidden) What is the mean ????[????2] and variance ??????
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1

Var(X^2)= 3-(1)^2 =2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the moment generating function for the normal model given by:

\phi(t) = E[e^{tX}]

And this function is very useful when the distribution analyzed have exponentials and we can write the generating moment function can be write like this:

\phi(t) = C \int_{R} e^{tx} e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}} dx = C \int_R e^{-\frac{x^2}{2} +tx} dx = e^{\frac{t^2}{2}} C \int_R e^{-\frac{(x-t)^2}{2}}dx

And we have that the moment generating function can be write like this:

\phi(t) = e^{\frac{t^2}{2}

And we can write this as an infinite series like this:

\phi(t)= 1 +(\frac{t^2}{2})+\frac{1}{2} (\frac{t^2}{2})^2 +....+\frac{1}{k!}(\frac{t^2}{2})^k+ ...

And since this series converges absolutely for all the possible values of tX as converges the series e^2, we can use this to write this expression:

E[e^{tX}]= E[1+ tX +\frac{1}{2} (tX)^2 +....+\frac{1}{n!}(tX)^n +....]

E[e^{tX}]= 1+ E[X]t +\frac{1}{2}E[X^2]t^2 +....+\frac{1}{n1}E[X^n] t^n+...

and we can use the property that the convergent power series can be equal only if they are equal term by term and then we have:

\frac{1}{(2k)!} E[X^{2k}] t^{2k}=\frac{1}{k!} (\frac{t^2}{2})^k =\frac{1}{2^k k!} t^{2k}

And then we have this:

E[X^{2k}]=\frac{(2k)!}{2^k k!}, k=0,1,2,...

And then we can find the E[X^2]

E[X^2]= \frac{2!}{2^1 1!}= 1

And we can find the variance like this :

Var(X^2) = E[X^4]-[E(X^2)]^2

And first we find:

E[X^4]= \frac{4!}{2^2 2!}= 3

And then the variance is given by:

Var(X^2)= 3-(1)^2 =2
