Answer:

x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

x/15 = 5

Multiply each side by 15

15*x/15 = 5*15

x = 75

Answer:

x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Reverse the problem meaning you have to do multiplication

5 times 15 is 75

To check your work divided 75 by 15 and if it equals 5 it is correct

Hope this helped :]

Based upon a long period of record keeping the following represents the probability distribution of the number of times the John

Nesterboy [21]

Given a table representing the probability distribution of the number of times the John Jay wifi network is slow during a week. We call the random variable x.

$\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
x&0&1&2&3&4&5&6\\[1ex]
p(x)&.08&.17& .21& k& .21& k& .13
\end{tabular}$

Part A:

The total value of p(x) = 1.

Thus, 

.08 + .17 + .21 + k + .21 + k + .13 = 1

0.8 + 2k = 1

2k = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

k = 0.2 / 2 = 0.1

Therefore, the value of k is 0.1

Part B:

The expected value of x is given by

$E(x)=\Sigma
 xp(x) \\ \\ =0(0.08)+1(0.17)+2(0.21)+3(0.1)+4(0.21)+5(0.1)+6(0.13) \\ 
 \\ =0+0.17+0.42+0.3+0.84+0.5+0.78=3.01$

Therefore, the expected value of x is 3.01

Part C:

The expected value of $x^2$ is given by

$E(x^2)=\Sigma x^2p(x) 
\\ \\ =0^2(0.08)+1^2(0.17)+2^2(0.21)+3^2(0.1)+4^2(0.21)+5^2(0.1)+6^2(0.13) \\ \\ 
=0(0.08)+1(0.17)+4(0.21)+9(0.1)+16(0.21)+25(0.1)+36(0.13) \\ \\ =0+0.17+0.84+0.9+3.36+2.5+4.68=12.45$

Therefore, the expected value of $\bold{x^2}$ is 12.45


Part D:

The variance of x is given by

$Var(x)=E(x^2)-(E(x))^2 \\ \\ =12.45 - (3.01)^2=12.45-9.06 \\ \\ =3.39$

Therefore, the variance of x is 3.39.

Part E

The standard deviation of x is given by

$\sqrt{Var(x)} = \sqrt{3.39} =1.84$

Therefore, the standard deviation of x is 1.84.

Part F:

The variance of ax, where a is a constant is given by

$Var(aX)=a^2Var(X)$

Thus, the variance of 3x is given by

$Var(3X)=3^2Var(X)=9(3.39)=30.51$

Therefore, the variance of 3x is 30.51.

Part G:

The probability that the network has no more that 4 slow times in one week is given by

$P(x\leq4)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)+P(4) \\ \\ =0.08+0.17+0.21+0.1+0.21=0.77$

Since, the network slowness is independent from week to week, the probability that if we look at 5 separate weeks, the network has no more than 4 slow times in any of those weeks is given by

$(0.77)^5=0.27$

Therefore, the probability that if we look at 5 separate weeks, the network has no more than 4 slow times in any of those weeks is 0.27

Part H:

The variance of x^2 is given by

$Var(x^2)=E((x^2)^2)-(E(x^2))^2=E(x^4)-(E(x^2))^2$

$E(x^4)=\Sigma
 x^4p(x) \\ \\ 
=0^4(0.08)+1^4(0.17)+2^4(0.21)+3^4(0.1)+4^4(0.21)+5^4(0.1) \\ +6^4(0.13)
 \\ \\ 
=0(0.08)+1(0.17)+16(0.21)+81(0.1)+256(0.21)+625(0.1)\\+1,296(0.13) \\ \\
 =0+0.17+3.36+8.1+53.76+62.5+168.48=296.37$

Thus,

$Var(x^2)=296.37-(12.45)^2=296.37-155.00=141.37$

Therefore, the variance of the random variable $\bold{x^2}$ is 141.37

Find the value of x.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a trapezoid equals one half of the sum of the bases

AC is a median and EB and DF are the bases.

hence AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

We are given that EB = 13 and that AC = 19. And we need to find DF

To do so we plug in what we are given and solve for DF

AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

AC = 19, EB = 13

19 = 1/2(13 + DF)

Now solve for DF

* Multiply both sides by 2*

19 * 2 = 38

1/2(13 + DF) * 2 ( the 1/2 and 2 cancel out and we're left with 13 + DF )

We then have 38 = 13 + DF

* Subtract 13 from both sides *

38 - 13 = 13 - 13 + DF

We get that DF = 25

Find the distance travelled by Rama if she takes two rounds of a rectangular park whose length is 8 km and breadth is 12 km.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

80 km

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the perimeter of the park.

2(12 + 8) = 2(20) = 40 km

Since Rama travels around the park twice, multiply the perimeter by 2.

40(2) = 80 km
