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

This problem really confuses me, help?
OLga [1]
So k in the first problem would =1/2
and i guess in the second problem just put k in place of the first space and in the second space put 8 for x. y would then =4. Idk if I did this right, though, I'm honestly a little confused too.

A jet ski company charges a flat fee of $24.00 plus $2.25 per hour to rent a jet ski. Another company charges a fee of $23.00 pl
Tju [1.3M]

Let

x----------> charge per hour to rent a jet sky in dollars

y----------> the total cost to rent a jet sky in dollars

we know that

<u>First Jet Sky Company</u>

y=24.00+2.25x ---------> equation 1

<u>Second Jet Sky Company</u>

y=23.00+2.50x ---------> equation 2

we know that

To find the number of hours for which the costs are the same

equate equation 1 and equation 2

The intersection both graphs is the solution of the problem

using a graph tool

see the attached figure  

the intersection point is (4,33)

That means

For x=4\ hours

the cost of the rent is y=\$33 in both companies

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

4\ hours
