Multiply each payout by the corresponding probability and take the total:

E[X] = 0×0.5 + 5×0.2 + 8×0.15 + 10×0.1 + 15×0.05 = 3.95

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

He pays to the cab driver for 25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let us consider he walks x miles at the rate of 4 miles per hour.

As we know $Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Therefore, time taken is: $Time=\frac{x}{4}$

He get a taxi for (31-x) miles at the rate of 50 miles per hour.

Therefore, time taken is: $Time=\frac{31-x}{50}$

It took 2 hours after he started.

That means the sum of time take is 2 hours.

$\frac{x}{4}+\frac{31-x}{50}=2$

$\frac{25x+62-2x}{100}= 2$

$23x+62= 200$

$23x= 138$

$x= 6$

Hence he walk 6 miles and he get a taxi for 31-6=25 miles.

He pays to the cab driver for 25 miles.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

About 6 athletes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are concerned only with the percent of athletes that are above one standard deviation.

Between one standard deviation and two standard deviations, there is 13.6% of the athletes.

From 2 to 3, there is 2.1%. Above 3, there is 0.2%.

The sum of those percentages is 15.9% of 40 = 0.159 · 40 = 6.36 or about 6 athletes.

Hope this helps.
