Answer:

E(w) = 1600000

v(w) = 240000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

sequence = 1 million iid  (+1 and +2)

probability of transmitting a +1 =  0.4

solution

sequence will be here as

P{Xi = k } = 0.4              for k = +1

                  0.6              for k = +2

and define is

x1  + x2 + ................ + X1000000

so for expected value for W

E(w) = E( x1  + x2 + ................ +  X1000000 )   ......................1

as per the linear probability of expectation

E(w) = 1000000 ( 0.4 × 1 + 0.6 × 2)

E(w) = 1600000

and

for variance of W

v(w) = V ( x1  + x2 + ................ + X1000000 )    ..........................2

v(w) = V x1  + V x2 + ................  + V  X1000000

here also same as that xi are i.e d so cov(xi, xj ) = 0 and i ≠ j

so

v(w) = 1000000 ( v(x) )

v(w) = 1000000 ( 0.24)

v(w) = 240000

What is 4/20 simplified
frozen [14]
4/20 simplified would be 1/5. You must know what simplify means first. It means to break down a fraction to its simplest form. So, to simplify 4/20, you must divide 4 from the denominator and numerator. A numerator is a number that is the number above the line. A denominator is the number on the bottom of the line. 
Dividing 4 from the denominator and numerator would make it 1/5. Therefore, the answer in simplest form is 1/5. Good luck!

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. T
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distribution is associated with the following characteristics or properties;

1. The outcomes are mutually exclusive.

2. The list of outcomes is exhaustive, which simply means that the sum of all probabilities of the outcomes must equal one (1).

3. The probability for a particular value or outcome must be between 0 and 1.

Since a probability distribution gives the likelihood of an outcome or event, a single random variable is divided into two main categories, namely;

I. Probability density functions for continuous variables.

II. Discrete probability distributions for discrete variables.

For example, when a coin is tossed, you can only have a head or tail (H or T).

Also, when you throw a die, the only possible outcome is 1/6 and the total probability for it all must equal to one (1).

Find mFE<br> A) 52°<br> C) 76°<br> B) 93°<br> D) 112°
mixer [17]

Answer:

76 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

GE = 180 since it is a straight line

GE = GR + FE

180 = 7x+6 +6x-8

Combine like terms

180 = 13x-2

Add 2 to each side

182 = 13x

Divide by 13

182/13 = 13x/13

14 =x

We want FE

FE = 6x-8

FE = 6(14) -8

    =84 -8

    =76

A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measurin
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measuring the weights of many of these cockroaches, a lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.

To find : What is the approximate standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches?

Solution :

We have given,

Mean \mu=50

The sample mean x=55

A lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.

i.e. P(X>55)=14%=0.14

The total probability needs to sum up to 1,

P(X\leq 55)=1-P(X>55)

P(X\leq 55)=1-0.14

P(X\leq 55)=0.86

The z-score value of 0.86 using z-score table is z=1.08.

Applying z-score formula,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where, \sigma is standard deviation

Substitute the values,

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

1.08=\frac{55-50}{\sigma}

1.08=\frac{5}{\sigma}

\sigma=\frac{5}{1.08}

\sigma=4.62

The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.
