Stanley is looking to retire and move near the ocean. The Jersey Shore has seen a rise in sea levels the past few years. These h

igh tides have caused floods in 100 places that call themselves Jersey Shore towns, which are on or within reasonable distance of the ocean. Stanley is nervous about possible floods and would like to be prepared for costs associated with them. As Stanley’s friend and an expert in risk management, you collect past information and have constructed the following probability distribution for the number of floods per town per summer at the Jersey Shore. # of floods per town per summer Probability 0 0.10 1 0.15 2 0.26 3 0.30 4 0.15 5 0.04 a. Calculate the expected frequency of floods per town per summer. (2 points) b. Calculated the variance. (2 points)

Answer:

2.37 ; 1.6731

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

X:___0____1____2____3____4____5

P(x):_0.10_0.15_0.26__0.30_0.15__0.04

the expected frequency of floods per town per summer

Σ(flood per Town per summer) * probability

Σ(X)*p(x)

Σ(0*0.10) + (1*0.15) + (2*0.26) + (3*0.30) + (4*0.15) + (5*0.04)

= (0 + 0.15 + 0.52 + 0.90 + 0.60 + 0.2)

= 2.37

Variance (s²) :

Σ[x². P(x)] - u²

Using an online variance calculator to save computation time :

s² = 16731 / 10000

s² = 1.6731

A. You would start off by a rectangle in the middle, then you would place to squares on the bottom and top if the rectangle. After you've done that, you place two rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the original rectangle. Finally you add a rectangle (Same size) to either ends of the secondary rectangles. It should look like this.


B. You would start off with a rectangle in the middle, then you would add 2 equilateral triangles to the top and bottom of the rectangle. After that, you Simply put 2 rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the rectangle. It should look something like this.

C. To make a pyramid, it's actually quite simple. You would start off with a square in the middle, and then place equilateral triangles on ALL sides of the square. It should look something like this.

I hope this helped ^^

Can anyone assist with this
Naddika [18.5K]

Every time we increas x by 1, we also increase y by 9. This means that the slope is 9:

m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{9}{1} = 9

When you know the slope m of a line and one of its points (x_0,y_0), you can write the equation of the line using the formula

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

In your case, if for example we use the first point, we have

y-7=9(x-1) \iff y=9x-9+7 \iff y=9x-2

Perfect pizza because 15*6=90, and of each pizza place were to make 90 pizzas, perfect pizza uses 60 cups of cheese while pizza express only uses 36. The difference is by 24 cups.
