Answer:

The expected value of x ; E(x) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = 1/8 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 4

To prove that it is a probability density function we will find E(x )

attached below is the required prove

It is proven that F(x) = 1/8 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 4 is probability density function

The expected value of X = 1

A coin is tossed 20 times. It lands heads four times. Compare the experimental probability to its theoretical probability. If th

MrRa [10]

Theoretical probability is based on the likelihood of events.

if a coin is flipped 20 times, and it has landed on heads 4 times, theres a 50% chance it would land on heads the 5th time.

it could be that heads gets more than tails or it could be vise versa.

The probability of getting two heads is 1 in 4.

are any two regular polygons similar. The area of the smaller figure is about 390 cm^2. choose the best estimate of the area of

galben [10]

Answer:

The best estimate of the area of the larger figure is $693\ cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

<em>Find the scale factor</em>

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

x-----> the corresponding side of the larger figure

y-----> the corresponding side of the smaller figure

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=12\ cm$

$y=9\ cm$

substitute

$z=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}$ -----> the scale factor

step 2

<em>Find the area of the larger figure</em>

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z----> the scale factor

x-----> the area of the larger figure

y-----> the area of the smaller figure

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=390\ cm^{2}$

substitute and solve for x

$(\frac{4}{3})^{2}=\frac{x}{390}$

$(\frac{16}{9})=\frac{x}{390}$

$x=390*16/9=693.33\ cm^{2}$
