Answer:

0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

n : ___ 0 _____ 1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____ 4

P(n) : 0.82___ 0.11 ___0.04 _0.02 ___0.01

The expected number of defect in a shipment can be obtained using the expected value formula :

Expected value, E(X) = Σx*p(x)

Σx*p(x) = (0*0.82) + (1*0.11) + (2*0.04) + (3*0.02) + (4*0.01)

E(X) = 0.29

Hence, the expected number of defect in shipment is 0.29

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The value at the end of year 2 is $4400.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best approach here is to determine the expression for the line depreciation and then calculate the depreciation value at x = 2 years.

A line is given by

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b the bias (aka y-intercept).  You can determine both directly from what is given. The slope is change in y divided by change in x. We know that over 5 years the car loses (500-7000)=-6500 in value. So, the slope is m=-6500/5 (note the negative sign). At time 0, the y-intercept is 7000, since that is the initial value (at year 0). So our line function is fully identified:

y = -\frac{6500}{5}x+7000

and gives you the value of the car in any given year. To answer the question, we now plug in 2 as value of x:

y=-\frac{6500}{5}\cdot 2 + 7000= 4400
