Answer:

Expectation number of books a customer will​ purchase  =  1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

x     :​ 0      1              2

p(x) :0.2​,  0.3​, and 0.5​

Expectation

E(X) = ∑x P(x)

      = 0 X 0.2 +1 X 0.3+ 2 X 0.5

     = 1.3

Expectation  E(X) =  1.3

Expectation number of books a customer will​ purchase  =  1.3

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (−4, seventeen eighths ) and a directrix of y = fifteen eighths
Lunna [17]
Standard form for a parabola:
( x - h )² = 4 p ( y - k )
Vertex: ( h, k ) = ( -4, 2 )
Displacement from vertex to focus:
p = 2/8 = 1/4
( x + 4 )² = 4 · 1/4 ( y - 2 )
y = ( x + 4 )² + 2
or general form: 
x² + 8 x - y + 18 = 0

Viktor [21]
X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x

shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10  in. <== shorter piece

y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
