Let represent the number of tires with low air pressure on a randomly chosen car. The probability distribution of is as follows.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a) $P(X=3) = 0.1$

b) $P(X\geq 3) =1-P(X$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 3) = 1- [0.2+0.3+0.1]= 0.4$

c) $P(X=4) = 0.3$

d) $P(X=0) = 0.2$

e) $E(X) =0*0.2 +1*0.3+2*0.1 +3*0.1 +4*0.3= 2$

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

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) =0^2*0.2 +1^2*0.3+2^2*0.1 +3^2*0.1 +4^2*0.3= 6.4$

And the variance would be:

$Var(X0 =E(X^2)- [E(X)]^2 = 6.4 -(2^2)= 2.4$

And the deviation:

$\sigma =\sqrt{2.4} = 1.549$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following distribution

x 0 1 2 3 4

P(x) 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.3

Part a

For this case:

$P(X=3) = 0.1$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(X\geq 3) =1-P(X$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 3) = 1- [0.2+0.3+0.1]= 0.4$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X=4) = 0.3$

Part d

$P(X=0) = 0.2$

Part e

We can find the mean with this formula:

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

And replacing we got:

$E(X) =0*0.2 +1*0.3+2*0.1 +3*0.1 +4*0.3= 2$

Part f

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:

$E(X^2) =0^2*0.2 +1^2*0.3+2^2*0.1 +3^2*0.1 +4^2*0.3= 6.4$

And the variance would be:

$Var(X0 =E(X^2)- [E(X)]^2 = 6.4 -(2^2)= 2.4$

And the deviation:

$\sigma =\sqrt{2.4} = 1.549$

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line

Sati [7]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the graph of the equation of the line.

The line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2,-1)

We need to determine the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line.

<u>Slope of the given line:</u>

The slope of the given line can be determined by substituting any two coordinates from the line in the slope formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substituting the coordinates (-1,3) and (2,2), we get;

$m_1=\frac{2-3}{2+1}$

$m_1=-\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, the slope of the given line is $m_1=-\frac{1}{3}$

<u>Slope of the perpendicular line:</u>

The slope of the perpendicular line can be determined by

$m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}$

Substituting $m_1=-\frac{1}{3}$ , we get;

$m_2=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3}}$

simplifying, we get;

$m_2=3$

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line is 3.

<u>Equation of the perpendicular line:</u>

The equation of the perpendicular line can be determined using the formula,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substituting $m=3$ and the point (2,-1) in the above formula, we have;

$y+1=3(x-2)$

$y+1=3x-6$

$y=3x-7$

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is $y=3x-7$

Hence, Option d is the correct answer.

the side of a triangle are in the extended ratio of 3:2:4 if the length of the shortest side is 6cm what is the length of the lo

Nat2105 [25]

In the ratio, the numbers are 2 for the shortest side, 3 for the middle sized side, and 4 for the longest side.

2 is to 6 cm as 4 is to x

2/6 = 4/x

2x = 4 * 6

2x = 24

x = 12

Answer: The longest side measures 12 cm.
