A random sample of math majors taking an introductory statistics course were surveyed after completing the final exam. They were

asked, "How many times did you review your final exam before handing it in to the professor?" The results are displayed in a probability density function for the random variable X, the number of times students reviewed their exam before handing it in. Find the standard deviation of X. Round the final answer to two decimal places. x P(X = x) 1 1/5 2 2/5 7 2/5

Answer:

E(X) =1 *\frac{1}{5} +2 *\frac{2}{5} +7*\frac{2}{5}= 3.8

Now we can find the second moment with this formula:

E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)

And replacing we got:

E(X^2) =1^2 *\frac{1}{5} +2^2 *\frac{2}{5} +7^2*\frac{2}{5}= 21.4

The variance would be given by:

Var(X) =E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 21.4 -[3.8]^2 = 6.96

And the deviation would be:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{6.96}= 2.638

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following distribution given:

X      1      2      7

P(X) 1/5  2/5   2/5

We need to begin finding the mean with this formula:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And replacing we got:

E(X) =1 *\frac{1}{5} +2 *\frac{2}{5} +7*\frac{2}{5}= 3.8

Now we can find the second moment with this formula:

E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)

And replacing we got:

E(X^2) =1^2 *\frac{1}{5} +2^2 *\frac{2}{5} +7^2*\frac{2}{5}= 21.4

The variance would be given by:

Var(X) =E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 21.4 -[3.8]^2 = 6.96

And the deviation would be:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{6.96}= 2.638

Find the 8th term for the series 2, 8, 32, 128, … <br> A. 8192<br> B. 16384<br> C. 6784<br> D. 32768
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:32,768

2*4=8*4=32*4=128

So we have to multiply by 4

128*4=512 5th term

512*4=2048 6th term

2048*4=8192 7th term

8192*4=32768 last term

What is the range of f(x)=e^x?
Tanzania [10]
The range refers to the value of y for which x is define.

So let y=f(x),

y =  {e}^{x}

Try making x the subject to obtain,

x =  ln(y)
x is defined for all real values of y greater than
0.

Hence the correct answer is D.

Tara wants to weigh her three stuffed animals. They will only fit on the scale two at a time. Together Addie and Missy weight 18
Pepsi [2]

Answer: Addie weighs 4 ounces

Missy weighs 14 ounces

Corky weighs 8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the weight of Addie.

Let m represent the weight of Missy.

Let c represent the weight of Corky.

Together Addie and Missy weigh 18 ounces. This means that

a + m = 18 - - - - - - - - - 1

Missy and Corky weigh 22 ounces. This means that

m + c = 22

m = 22 - c - - - - - - - - - - 2

Addie and Corky weigh 12 ounces. This means that

a + c = 12

a = 12 - c - - - - - - - - - - - 3

Substituting equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1, it becomes

22 - c + 12 - c = 18

34 - 2c = 18

- 2c = 18 - 34 = - 16

c = - 16/ - 2 = 8

Substituting c = 8 into equation 2, it becomes

m = 22 - 8

m = 14

Substituting c = 8 into equation 3, it becomes

a = 12 - 8

a = 4
