<h2>Answer:</h2>

Mean = 24.47

Variance = 108.31

Standard deviation = 10.41

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The probability distribution table has been attached to this response.

<em>(1) To calculate the mean (m)</em>

(a) First multiply each of the values of x by their corresponding probability values.

This is shown in the third column of the table.

(b) The sum of the results in the third column gives the mean of the distribution. i.e

m = ∑xP(x) = 11.52 + 9.36 + 3.15 + 0.44

m = 24.47

<em>(2) To calculate the variance </em> <em>(σ²).</em>

(a) First find the square of the difference between the values of x and the mean (m) calculated in (1b) above. i.e

(x - m)²

The result is shown in the fourth column of the table.

(b) Next, multiply each of the results in the fourth column (x - m)², by their corresponding probability values P(X = x). i.e

(x - m)²(P(X = x))

The result is shown in the fifth column of the table.

(c) Now find the variance (σ²) which is the sum of the results in the fifth column. i.e

σ² = ∑(x - m)²(P(X = x)) = 42.5411 + 0.8427 + 18.8330 + 46.0923

σ² = 108.3091

σ² = 108.31      [to 2 decimal places]

<em>(3) To calculate the standard deviation (σ)</em>

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance of the distribution. Calculate this by finding the square root of the result in (2c) above.

σ = √σ²

σ = \sqrt{108.31}

σ = 10.4072

σ = 10.41        [to 2 decimal places]

Answer: Scale Factor = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The top side of the blue triangle is equal to 2 and the top side of the red triangle is equal to 6. Therefore you hav to divide 6 by 2 to give you the scale factor which is 3. (Sorry I do not know if zoom factor is the same as scale factor)

Select two choices that are true about the function f(x)=23x+14/x
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

There is an asymptote at x = 0

There is an asymptote at y = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

(23x+14)/x

Vertical asymptote is gotten by equating the denominator to zero

Since the denominator is x, hence the vertical asymptote is at x = 0. This shows that there is an asymptote at x = 0

Also for the horizontal asymptote, we will take the ratio of the coefficient of the variables in the numerator and denominator

Coefficient of  x at the numerator = 23

Coefficient of x at the denominator = 1

Ratio = 23/1 = 23

This means that there is an asymptote at y = 23
