Answer:

Mean = 35

Variance = 291.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

X : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

All the data are independent

Thus,

The mean for this case will be given as:

Mean, E[X] = \frac{\textup{Sum of all the observations}}{\textup{Total number of observations}}

or

 E[X] = \frac{\textup{1+2+3+4+5+6}}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X] = 3.5

For 10 days, Mean = 3.5 × 10 = 35

And,

variance = E[X²] - ( E[X] )²

Now, for this case of independent value,

E[X²] = \frac{1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X²] = \frac{1+4+9+16+25+36}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X²] = \frac{91}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X²] = 15.167

Therefore,

variance = E[X²] - ( E[X] )²

or

variance = 15.167 - 3.5²

or

Variance = 2.917

For 10 days = Variance × Days²

= 2.917 × 10²

= 291.7

Damien wants to deposit $1200 into savings accounts at three different banks: Bank of Chance, Merchant Bank, and Utopian Financi
Luba_88 [7]
If the amount Damien deposits into the Bank of Chance is x, then the amount he deposits into the Merchant Bank is 3*x (as he deposits 3 times as much there). Since 3*x+x=4x, and we know that Utopian Financing's deposit is 20% (or 0.2 by moving the decimal in 20.00 2 places over to the left), 4x*0.2=0.8x=amount he invests in Utopian Financing. Adding them all up, we get x+3x+0.8x=1200=4.8x. Dividing both sides by 4.8, we get 1200/4.8=x=
250 dollars invested in the Bank of Chance. To find 0.8 of 250, we multiply the two to get 0.8*250=200=amount invested into Utopian Financing

In 2016, the population of the United States was approximately 3.24 x 10^8. It is expected that the population will be about 3.9
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

7.4 x 10^7

Step-by-step explanation:

3.98 x 10^8 - 3.24 x 10^8 = 0.74 x 10^8 (not scientific notation, because it isn't full number)

0.74 x 10^8 ---> 7.4 x 10^7

   - got seven by counting the spaces it moved over (right decrease, while left increases)

Find the slope of the line 7x+4y=10
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The slope is -7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 7x + 4y = 10

∵ y = mx + c ⇒ where m is the slope of the line

∴ Re-arrange the equation

∴ 4y = 10 - 7x ⇒ ÷4

∴ y = 10/4 - (7/4) x

∴ y = 5/2 - (7/4) x

∴ The slope is -7/4
