Ax + by = 8

Subtract ax from both sides.

by = 8 - ax

Divide both sides by y.

b = (8-ax)/y

jasenka [17]

Answer:

$E(X) = 0*0.92 + 1*0.03 +2*0.03 +3*0.02 = 0.1500$

In order to find the variance we need to find first the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = 0^2*0.92 + 1^2*0.03 +2^2*0.03 +3^2*0.02 = 0.3300$

The variance is calculated with this formula:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 0.33 -(0.15)^2 = 0.3075$

And the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance and we got:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{0.3075}= 0.5545$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).

Solution to the problem

LEt X the random variable who represent the number of defective transistors. For this case we have the following probability distribution for X

X 0 1 2 3

P(X) 0.92 0.03 0.03 0.02

We can calculate the expected value with the following formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X) = 0*0.92 + 1*0.03 +2*0.03 +3*0.02 = 0.1500$

In order to find the variance we need to find first the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = 0^2*0.92 + 1^2*0.03 +2^2*0.03 +3^2*0.02 = 0.3300$

The variance is calculated with this formula:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 0.33 -(0.15)^2 = 0.3075$

And the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance and we got:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{0.3075}= 0.5545$
