Answer:

E(X) = 4*0.2 +3*0.5+ 2*0.2 +1*0.8+ 0*0.02= 2.78

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 2.78

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probabability distribution function given:

Score         P(X)

A= 4.0       0.2

B= 3.0       0.5

C= 2.0       0.2

D= 1.0        0.08

F= 0.0       0.02

______________

Total          1.00

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.

If we use the definition of expected value given by:

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

And if we replace the values that we have we got:

E(X) = 4*0.2 +3*0.5+ 2*0.2 +1*0.8+ 0*0.02= 2.78

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 2.78

Proving trapezoid theorems Geometry
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

ΔABD ≅ ΔACD by SAS, therefore;

\overline {BD} \cong \overline {CA} by CPCTC

Step-by-step explanation:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement {}                   Reason

ABCD is a trapezoid {}  Given

\overline {BA} \cong \overline {CD}  {}                   Given

\overline {BC} \parallel \overline {AD}   {}                   Definition of a trapezoid

ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid  {}    Left and right leg are equal

∠BAD ≅ ∠CDA  {}          Base angle of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent

\overline {AD} \cong \overline {AD}   {}                  Reflexive property

ΔABD ≅ ΔACD   {}         By SAS rule of congruency

\overline {BD} \cong \overline {CA}   {}                  CPCTC

CPCTC; Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

SAS; Side Angle Side rule of congruency

*Quadratic equations*<br>solve<br>(i) (x+3)(x-4)=0<br><br>(ii) (2x-3)(x-1) =0​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

(i) (x+3)(x-4)=0

  • x+3= 0 ⇒ x= -3
  • x-4= 0⇒ x= 4

(ii) (2x-3)(x-1) =0​

  • 2x-3= 0 ⇒ 2x=3 ⇒ x= 3/2
  • x- 1= 0 ⇒ x= 1
