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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations have the form of a geometric sequence

y=ar^x\text{ y=final value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, x=term number}\\ \\ \text{The common ratio is found by dividing any term by the previous term, in this case}\\ \\ r=\frac{1}{3},\ a=27\\ \\ f(x)=27\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^x

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
Gwar [14]

Answer: 66 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Break up the shape into three separate shapes

8 * 3 = 24 for the rectangle

There are 2 triangles

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2(b)(h)

1 of the triangles has a base of 4 and height of 12

1/2(4)(12) = 24

The other triangle has a base of 3 and height of 12

1/2(3)(12) = 18

24 + 24+ 18 = 66
