Answer:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) = 3*0.07 +4*0.4 +5*0.25 +6*0.28= 4.74In order to find the variance we need to calculate first the second moment given by:

E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i) = 3^2*0.07 +4^2*0.4 +5^2*0.25 +6^2*0.28= 23.36And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) +[E(X)]^2 = 23.36 -[4.74]^2 = 0.8924

And the deviation would be:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{0.8924} =0.9447

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).  

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following distribution given:

X          3      4       5        6

P(X)   0.07  0.4  0.25  0.28

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) = 3*0.07 +4*0.4 +5*0.25 +6*0.28= 4.74

In order to find the variance we need to calculate first the second moment given by:

E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i) = 3^2*0.07 +4^2*0.4 +5^2*0.25 +6^2*0.28= 23.36

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) +[E(X)]^2 = 23.36 -[4.74]^2 = 0.8924

And the deviation would be:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{0.8924} =0.9447

I’m a given rectangle the shorter side is 2 units less than the longer side. If we let the longer side be represented as the var
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

4(x-1)units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a given rectangle, the length of the rectangle is the shorter side while its breadth is the longer side.

Since we have 2 lengths and 2 breadths in a rectangle, the perimeter of the rectangle will be 2L+2x where

L is the length(shorter side) and x is the breadth (longer side).

According to the question, the shorter side(L) is 2 units less than the longer side(x). Mathematically,

L = x-2

Substituting L = x-2 into the formula of perimeter of a rectangle we have,

P = 2(x-2) + 2x

P = 2x-4+2x

P = 4x-4

P = 4(x-1)

The perimeter of the rectangle will be 4(x-1)units

Can we conclude that these two triangles are congruent?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Yes,

Step-by-step explanation:

because two sides are shown equal to each other, a and b. Also two angles are equal to each other, x and y. Once you know two angles or two sides are equal so is the third side.

Another way is SAS (side angle side). There is side a, angle y, and side b. These are shown on both triangles.

Therefore, we can conclude these two triangles are congruent.
