Distribution table :

X : ___ 1 _____ 2 _____ 3 ______ 4

P(x) __0.50 __0.25 __ 0.15 ____ 0.10

Answer:

1.85 ; 1.014 ;` 0.55 ; 3.042

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability distribution :

X : ___ 1 _____ 2 _____ 3 ______ 4

P(x) __0.50 __0.25 __ 0.15 ____ 0.10

The mean: E(x) = Σ(X * p(x))

(1*0.5) + (2*0.25) + (3*0.15) + (4 *0.10)

= 1.85

Standard deviation = sqrt(Var(x))

Var(x) = Σ(x²*p(x)) - E(x)²

Var(x) = ((1^2*0.5) + (2^2*0.25) + (3^2*0.15) + (4^2 *0.10)) - 1.85^2

= 4.45 - 3.4225

= 1.0275

Standard deviation = sqrt(1.0275)

Standard deviation = 1.0136567

Standard deviation(X) = 1.014

3.)

Cost of spin = $5

Amount, y to be received = 3 times the number that appears

y = 3x - cost of playing

y = 3x - 5

E(y) = E(3x - 5)

E(y) = E(3x) - 5

Recall :E(x) = 1.85

E(y) = 3(1.85) - 5

E(y) = 0.55

Standard deviation :Sd(y) =

Sd(3x - 5)

3(1.014)

= 3.042

An art exhibit is made by stacking three identical prisms on top of each other end-to-end so their smallest faces overlap. One o
cestrela7 [59]

The surface area of the exhibit is 1,638 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

If three prisms are out on top of each other we get a shape as follows;

The length of the base = 9 inches,

The width of the base =6 inches, and

The height of the exhibit = 3(17) = 51 inches.

To find the surface area of the total exhibit we consider there to be only one shape which the above dimension.

Step 2:

There are 6 faces to the exhibit.

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by;

A=2(w l+h l+h w)

By substituting the values, we get

A=2((6)(9)+(51) (9)+(51) (6)) = 2 (819) = 1,638.

The surface area of the exhibit is 1,638 cubic inches.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the two numbers is 4:5

So let's take 4 and 5 as our number, we find out that their LCM is 20.

The next pair would be 8 and 10. Their LCM is 40 , so they are the numbers.
