Answer:

E(X) = 6

Var(X) = 3.394

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of carp caught out of the 20 fishes caught. Now, if we are to assume that each

of the (100, 20) ways to catch the 20 fishes will be equally likely.

Thus, we can say that X fulfills a hypergeometric

distribution with parameters as follows;

n = 20, N = 100, k = 30

Formula for expected mean value in hypergeometric distribution is;

E(X) = nk/N

E(X) = (20 × 30)/100

E(X) = 6

Formula for variance is;

Var(X) = (nk/N) × [((n - 1)(k - 1)/(N-1))) + (1 - nk/N)]

Var(X) = ((20 × 30)/100) × [((20 - 1)(30 - 1)/(100 - 1)) + (1 - (20 × 30/100)]

Var(X) = 6 × 0.5657

Var(X) = 3.394

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

f(3)=23

Step-by-step explanation:

By evaluating first, and then the mathematical calculation, we have:

f(3)= 3^{2} + 2 ×3^{2} - 3 -1 

= 9 +18 -3-1  

= 23
