Answer:
The expected value of X is
and the variance of X is 
The expected value of Y is
and the variance of Y is 
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Let X be a discrete random variable with set of possible values D and probability mass function p(x). The expected value, denoted by E(X) or
, is

The probability mass function
of X is given by

Since the bus driver is equally likely to drive any of the 4 buses, the probability mass function
of Y is given by

The expected value of X is
![E(X)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{X}(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28X%29%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%5Cin%20%5B28%2C32%2C42%2C44%5D%7D%20x%5Ccdot%20p_%7BX%7D%28x%29)

The expected value of Y is
![E(Y)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x\cdot p_{Y}(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28Y%29%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%5Cin%20%5B28%2C32%2C42%2C44%5D%7D%20x%5Ccdot%20p_%7BY%7D%28x%29)

(b) Let X have probability mass function p(x) and expected value E(X). Then the variance of X, denoted by V(X), is
![V(X)=\sum_{x\in D} (x-\mu)^2\cdot p(x)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%28X%29%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%5Cin%20D%7D%20%28x-%5Cmu%29%5E2%5Ccdot%20p%28x%29%3DE%28X%5E2%29-%5BE%28X%29%5D%5E2)
The variance of X is
![E(X^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{X}(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28X%5E2%29%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%5Cin%20%5B28%2C32%2C42%2C44%5D%7D%20x%5E2%5Ccdot%20p_%7BX%7D%28x%29)


The variance of Y is
![E(Y^2)=\sum_{x\in [28,32,42,44]} x^2\cdot p_{Y}(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28Y%5E2%29%3D%5Csum_%7Bx%5Cin%20%5B28%2C32%2C42%2C44%5D%7D%20x%5E2%5Ccdot%20p_%7BY%7D%28x%29)


Answer:
15 muffins are cinnamon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of muffins baked = 50 muffins
Chocolate chip muffins = 1/5 of 50 = 
Chocolate chip muffins = 10 muffins
Blueberry muffins = 1/2 of 50 = 
Blueberry muffins = 25
Cinnamon muffins = Muffins baked - chocolate chip muffins - blueberry muffins
Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 10 - 25
Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 35 = 15
Hence,
15 muffins are cinnamon.
Answer:
9/20 yes, 4/15 not. See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Pick 9/20 and multiply numerator and denominator by 5:
9/20 = 45/100
We know that if we divide a number by 100 we need to move the coma as two places left, so:
9/20 = 45/100 = 0.45
And this is a terminal decimal as we know where it ends.
On the other hand if we pick 4/15 let try to divide it (here I will do it 'manually'):
4 |_ 15
we can divide 4 by 15, so we use 40 and begin with a comma
40 |_ 15
0.
15 enters 2 times in 40 with a rest of 10, so:
40 |_ 15
30 0.2
100
100 divided by 15 is 6 and we have 10 as rest again, and again and again...
40 |_ 15
30 0.266.....
100
100
....
So, we will have 0.266666666666666 infinitely. The decimal for 4/15 is non terminating and is 0.26666666666666666...
