8 0

Answer:

2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the quadratic, factor and set its factors equal to 0. Factoring is the action of breaking up a polynomial into pieces which multiply to make it. The factors are found by multiplying numbers to make C and add to B of $ax^2+bx+c$ .

Here c = 6 and b = -5. The numbers -3 and -2 multiply to 6 and add to -5. These are the factors (x-3)(x-2).

Set each equal to 0 and solve for x.

x-3 = 0

x = 3

x-2 =0

x = 2

Exercise 5.2. Suppose that X has moment generating function

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a) Mean, E(X) = - 0.5

Variance = = 9.25

b) $M_{X}(t)=E(e^{tX})$

⇒ $=\sum e^{tx}p(x)$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{1}{6}e^{5t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

moment generating function of X as:

MX(t) = $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}e^{-4t} + \frac{1}{6} e^{5t}$

a) Now

Mean, E(X) = $M_{X}'(t=0)$

Thus,

$M_{X}'(t)=\frac{1}{3}(-4)e^{-4t}+\frac{1}{6}(5)e^{5t}$

$M_{X}'(t)=\frac{-4}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{5}{6}e^{5t}$

also,

$E(X^{2})=M_{X}''(t=0)$

Thus,

$M_{X}''(t)=\frac{-4}{3}(-4)e^{-4t}+\frac{5}{6}(5)e^{5t}$

$M_{X}''(t)=\frac{16}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{25}{6}e^{5t}$

Therefore,

Mean, E(X) = $M_{X}'(t=0)=\frac{-4}{3}e^{-4(0)}+\frac{5}{6}e^{5(0)}$

Mean, E(X) = - 0.5

and

$E(X^{2})=M_{X}''(t=0)=\frac{16}{3}e^{-4(0)}+\frac{25}{6}e^{5(0)}$

$E(X^{2})$ = 9.5

also,

Variance(X) = E(X²) - E(X)²

⇒ 9.5 - (-0.5)²

= 9.25

b) Now,

Let f(x) be the PMF of X

Thus,

$M_{X}(t)=E(e^{tX})$

⇒ $=\sum e^{tx}p(x)$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{1}{6}e^{5t}$

Therefore,

at x = 0, P(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$

at x= - 4 ,P(x) = $\frac{1}{3}$

at x = 5, P(x) = $\frac{1}{6}$

Thus,

E(X) = $\sum xP(x)=0(\frac{1}{2})+(-4)(\frac{1}{3})+5(\frac{1}{6})$

E(X) = - 0.5

also, $E(X^{2})=\sum x^{2}P(x)=0^{2}(\frac{1}{2})+(-4)^{2}(\frac{1}{3})+5^{2}(\frac{1}{6})$

$E(X^{2})$ = 9.5

Hence,

Var(X) = E(X²) - E(X)²

⇒ 9.5 - (-0.5)²

= 9.25

Which expression represent the approximate length of BC HEEEEELLLLPPP!!!

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine rule in Δ ABC

$\frac{sinA}{BC}$ = $\frac{sin38}{AB}$ , substitute values

$\frac{sin66}{BC}$ = $\frac{sin38}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

BC sin38° = 3 sin66° ( divide both sides by sin38° )

BC = $\frac{3sin66}{sin38}$ → A
