Answer and Explanation:
Given : The random variable x has the following probability distribution.
To find :
a. Is this probability distribution valid? Explain and list the requirements for a valid probability distribution.
b. Calculate the expected value of x.
c. Calculate the variance of x.
d. Calculate the standard deviation of x.
Solution :
First we create the table as per requirements,
x P(x) xP(x) x² x²P(x)
0 0.25 0 0 0
1 0.20 0.20 1 0.20
2 0.15 0.3 4 0.6
3 0.30 0.9 9 2.7
4 0.10 0.4 16 1.6
∑P(x)=1 ∑xP(x)=1.8 ∑x²P(x)=5.1
a) To determine that table shows a probability distribution we add up all five probabilities if the sum is 1 then it is a valid distribution.
Yes it is a probability distribution.
b) The expected value of x is defined as
c) The variance of x is defined as
d) The standard deviation of x is defined as
Answer:
The solutions are linearly independent because the Wronskian is not equal to 0 for all x.
The value of the Wronskian is
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the Wronskian using the fundamental solutions that we are provided and their corresponding the derivatives, since the Wroskian is defined as the following determinant.
Thus replacing the functions of the exercise we get:
Working with the determinant we get
Thus we have found that the Wronskian is not 0, so the solutions are linearly independent.
