Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7a-17 = 4a +1 ; Subtract 4a from both sides

3a - 17 = 1 ; Add 17 to both sides

3a = 18 ; Divide both sides by 3

a = 6

Answer:

Hello! answer: 180

Step-by-step explanation:

what I did to find answer is cut them into pieces I cut the m into 3 pieces and now just have to multiply my base x height so for the left one I did 12 x 6 = 72 for the middle I did 6 x 6 = 36 and for the right one I did 12 x 6 = 72 I add these up so...

72 + 36 + 72 = 180 so the surface area is 180! I hope this helps!

A car dealership sells 0, 1, or 2 luxury cars on any day. When selling a car, the dealer also tries to persuade the customer to

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Mean = 1.42

Variance = 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: X denote the number of luxury cars sold in a given day, and Y denote the number of extended warranties sold.

Also, joint probability function of X and Y are given.

To find:

mean and variance of X

Solution:

From the given joint probability function of X and Y,

$P(X=0)=\frac{1}{6}\\P(X=1)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+2}{12}=\frac{3}{12}\\P(X=2)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+4+2}{12}=\frac{7}{12}$

Mean of X:

$E(X)=\sum XP(X)\\=0\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{14}{12}\\=\frac{17}{12}=1.42$

Variance of X:

$E(X^2)=\sum X^2P(X)\\=0^2\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1^2\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2^2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{28}{12}\\=\frac{31}{12}$

$var(X)=E\left [ X^2 \right ]-\left ( E\left [ X \right ] \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\left ( \frac{17}{12} \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\frac{289}{144}\\=\frac{372-289}{144}\\=\frac{83}{144}\\=0.58$
