Answer:
(a) E(X) = -2p² + 2p + 2; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0
(b) 6p⁴ - 12p³ + 3p² + 3p + 3; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) when i = 2, the expected number of played games will be:
E(X) = 2[p² + (1-p)²] + 3[2p² (1-p) + 2p(1-p)²] = 2[p²+1-2p+p²] + 3[2p²-2p³+2p(1-2p+p²)] = 2[2p²-2p+1] + 3[2p² - 2p³+2p-4p²+2p³] = 4p²-4p+2-6p²+6p = -2p²+2p+2.
If p = 1/2, then:
d²/dp² E(X) = d/dp (-4p + 2) = -4 which is less than 0. Therefore, the E(X) is maximized.
(b) when i = 3;
E(X) = 3[p³ + (1-p)³] + 4[3p³(1-p) + 3p(1-p)³] + 5[6p³(1-p)² + 6p²(1-p)³]
Simplification and rearrangement lead to:
E(X) = 6p⁴-12p³+3p²+3p+3
if p = 1/2, then:
d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 = d/dp (24p³-36p²+6p+3) = 72p²-72p+6 = 72(1/2)² - 72(1/2) +6 = 18 - 36 +8 = -10
Therefore, E(X) is maximized.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the difference between 0 and -10 is 10, this means that the difference between the diving board and the pool also has to be 10. Therefore, the diving board is 10 feet above the water since 0+10 is 10.

Answer:
Width = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 18x * 10y = 180xy
Length = 6xy
Width = ?
Since the shape of the office complex is a rectangle,
Area of a rectangle = length × width
180xy = 6xy × width
Width = 180xy / 6xy
Width = 30
Y=-5x+9
3x+2(-5x+9)=4
3x-10x+18=4
-7x=4-18
-7x=-14
x=2
5(2)+y=9
10+y=9
y=9-10
y=-1
The answer is (2,-1) :)
