3. From the table below, find Prof. Xin expected value of lateness. (5 points) Lateness P(Lateness) On Time 4/5 1 Hour Late 1/10

wariber [46]

Answer:

The expected value of lateness $\frac{7}{20}$ hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of lateness is as follows:

Lateness P (Lateness)

On Time 4/5

1 Hour Late 1/10

2 Hours Late 1/20

3 Hours Late 1/20

The formula of expected value of a random variable is:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

Compute the expected value of lateness as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

$=(0\times \frac{4}{5})+(1\times \frac{1}{10})+(2\times \frac{1}{20})+(3\times \frac{1}{20})\\\\=0+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{20}\\\\=\frac{2+2+3}{20}\\\\=\frac{7}{20}$

Thus, the expected value of lateness $\frac{7}{20}$ hours.

Y-x=4 and x is three times the value of y, what is the value of x+y?

slega [8]

Answer:

x+y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

y-x=4

x=3y

y-3y=4

x=3y

-2y=4

x=3y

y=4/(-2)

x=3y

y=-2

x=3*(-2)

x=-6, y=-2 then

x+y=-6-2=-8
