Answer:

5.20

Step-by-step explanation:

X : ______ 8 ____ - 4

P(X) : ___ 0.75 __ 0.25

The expected mean E(x) :

E(x) = ΣX / n

n = sample size = 2

E(x) = (8*0.75) + (-4*0.25)

E(x) = 6 - 1

E(x) = 5

The standard deviation : sqrt(Var(x))

Var(x) = Σx²p(x) - E(x)²

Var(x) = (8^2 * 0.75) + (-4^2 * 0.25)) - 5^2

Var(x) = ((64 * 0.75) + (16* 0.25)) - 25

Var(x) = (48 + 4) - 25

Var(X) = 27

Standard deviation = sqrt(27)

Standard deviation (x) = 5.1961524

Standard deviation = 5.20

If 5x - 17 = -x 7, then x =
Monica [59]
6x - 17 = 7 ........ added 1x to both sides
6x = 24 ............. added 17 to both sides
x = 4 ................. divided by 6 on both sides

so x=4

A family is driving from Phoenix to San Francisco. On a map grid, Phoenix is located at (–12, –16), and San Francisco is located
makkiz [27]
The answer is 34.05

The total distance (D) is the sum of three distances (d1, d2, and d3).

The distance formula is d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} +(y2-y1)^{2}}

Distance 1: Phoenix (–12, –16) to Blythe (–20, –9)<span>:
</span>d1 = \sqrt{(-20-(-12))^{2} +(-9-(-16))^{2}} =\sqrt{(-20+12)^{2} +(-9+16)^{2}} \\ =\sqrt{(-8)^{2} +(7)^{2}}= \sqrt{64+49} = \sqrt{113}= 10.63

Distance 2: Blythe (–20, –9) to Los Angeles (–33, –4):
d2 = \sqrt{(-33-(-20))^{2} +(-4-(-9))^{2}} =\sqrt{(-33+20)^{2} +(-4+9)^{2}} \\ =\sqrt{(-13)^{2} +(5)^{2}}= \sqrt{169+25} = \sqrt{194}= 13.93

Distance 3: Los Angeles (–33, –4) to <span>San Francisco (–36, 5)
</span>d3 = \sqrt{(-36-(-33))^{2} +(5-(-4))^{2}} =\sqrt{(-36+33)^{2} +(5+4)^{2}} \\ =\sqrt{(-3)^{2} +(9)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+81} = \sqrt{90}= 9.49
<span>
D = d1 + d2 + d3 = 10.63 + 13.93 + 9.49 = 34.05</span>
