Answer:

The expected value of X is $E(X)=\frac{2754}{73} \approx 37.73$ and the variance of X is $Var(X)=\frac{226192}{5329} \approx 42.45$

The expected value of Y is $E(Y)=\frac{73}{2} \approx 36.5$ and the variance of Y is $Var(Y)=\frac{179}{4} \approx 44.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let X be a discrete random variable with set of possible values D and probability mass function p(x). The expected value, denoted by E(X) or $\mu_x$ , is

$E(X)=\sum_{x\in D} x\cdot p(x)$

The probability mass function $p_{X}(x)$ of X is given by

$p_{X}(28)=\frac{28}{146} \\\\p_{X}(32)=\frac{32}{146} \\\\p_{X}(42)=\frac{42}{146} \\\\p_{X}(44)=\frac{44}{146}$

Since the bus driver is equally likely to drive any of the 4 buses, the probability mass function $p_{Y}(x)$ of Y is given by

$p_{Y}(28)=p_{Y}(32)=p_{Y}(42)=p_{Y}(44)=\frac{1}{4}$

The expected value of X is

$E(X)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{X}(x)$

$E(X)=28\cdot \frac{28}{146}+32\cdot \frac{32}{146} +42\cdot \frac{42}{146} +44 \cdot \frac{44}{146}\\\\E(X)=\frac{392}{73}+\frac{512}{73}+\frac{882}{73}+\frac{968}{73}\\\\E(X)=\frac{2754}{73} \approx 37.73$

The expected value of Y is

$E(Y)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{Y}(x)$

$E(Y)=28\cdot \frac{1}{4}+32\cdot \frac{1}{4} +42\cdot \frac{1}{4} +44 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y)=146\cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y)=\frac{73}{2} \approx 36.5$

(b) Let X have probability mass function p(x) and expected value E(X). Then the variance of X, denoted by V(X), is

$V(X)=\sum_{x\in D} (x-\mu)^2\cdot p(x)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2$

The variance of X is

$E(X^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{X}(x)$

$E(X^2)=28^2\cdot \frac{28}{146}+32^2\cdot \frac{32}{146} +42^2\cdot \frac{42}{146} +44^2 \cdot \frac{44}{146}\\\\E(X^2)=\frac{10976}{73}+\frac{16384}{73}+\frac{37044}{73}+\frac{42592}{73}\\\\E(X^2)=\frac{106996}{73}$

$Var(X)=E(X^2)-(E(X))^2\\\\Var(X)=\frac{106996}{73}-(\frac{2754}{73})^2\\\\Var(X)=\frac{106996}{73}-\frac{7584516}{5329}\\\\Var(X)=\frac{7810708}{5329}-\frac{7584516}{5329}\\\\Var(X)=\frac{226192}{5329} \approx 42.45$

The variance of Y is

$E(Y^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{Y}(x)$

$E(Y^2)=28^2\cdot \frac{1}{4}+32^2\cdot \frac{1}{4} +42^2\cdot \frac{1}{4} +44^2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\\\E(Y^2)=196+256+441+484\\\\E(Y^2)=1377$

$Var(Y)=E(Y^2)-(E(Y))^2\\\\Var(Y)=1377-(\frac{73}{2})^2\\\\Var(Y)=1377-\frac{5329}{4}\\\\Var(Y)=\frac{179}{4} \approx 44.75$

Which of the graphs best represents a system of equations that has no solution?

Lesechka [4]

When the lines are parallel then there is no solution to the system of equations.
This happens because the intersection is the solution. And when there is no intersection then there is no solution.

Answer:

5/2 x 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

when you multiply fractions you multiply trait across meaning you do 5*1 and 2*2 which leaves you with 5/4 and that is equivalent to 1 &1/4
