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

Aleks04 [339]
Alberto and 9 of his friends went out to eat.
1 + 9 = 10
So there are 10 people in total.
Each person paid the same amount, $18.

18 × 10 = 180

The total bill was $180.

Number 3 plzzzzzzzzz
zhenek [66]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure some smart guy in Greece noticed this but:

Since 4 + 8 = 12, thats the only option where 2 of the smaller sides add up to the big one. I don't know much of the reasoning behind this but my math teacher showed it to us by using Popsicle sticks to make triangles. You can try it if that helps you think about it. Apparently, if you add up the 2 smaller sides, then it HAS to be more than the biggest side.
