Answer:

a) Mean is -23.47

b) Variance is 206.59

c) standard deviation is 14.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

 x              −41        −27        −8         −3

P(X = x)      0.29      0.35      0.21      0.15

X.P            -11.89     -9.45    -1.68     -0.45

a) mean

Mean = ∑X.P = -11.89 +  -9.45 + -1.68 + -0.45

Mean = -23.47

b)  the variance

E(x²) = ∑x²P(X=x)

= (−41²×0.29) + (−27²×0.35) + (−8²×0.21) + (−3²×0.15)

= 487.49 + 255.15 + 13.44 + 1.35

= 757.43

So

Var(X) = E(x²) - [∑X.P]²

Var(X) = 757.43 - [-23.47]²

= 757.43 - 550.8409

= 206.5891 ≈ 206.59

Therefore Variance is 206.59

c) standard deviation

standard deviation SD(X) = √Var(X)

SD(X) = √206.5891

= 14.3732 ≈ 14.37

Therefore standard deviation is 14.37

Barbara sells iced tea for $1.49 per bottle and water for $1.25 per bottle. She wrote an equation to find the number of drinks s
ipn [44]
The way she has the equation set up, she is only selling 1 bottle of tea and x bottles of water. So, she basically forgot to put the variable in that represents the number of bottles of tea sold

the way it should be : x = # of bottles of water, and y = # of bottles of tea
1.25x + 1.49y = 100

You find your dependent variable has a high degree of kurtosis. What is the first way to try to fix it?
Morgarella [4.7K]

The first way to try to fix this is to apply logarithm to the observations on the dependent variable. This is going to make the dependent variable with high degree of kurtosis normal.

Note that sometimes, the resulting values of the variable will be negative. Do not worry about this, as it is not a problem. It does not affect the regression coefficients, it only affects the regression intercept, which after transformation, will be of no interest.

Mary leaves her house to take a walk. The graph shows the distance, d, in feet from her house that Mary is at any given time, t,
Vitek1552 [10]
You haven't provided the graph, therefore, I cannot provide you with a specific solution for this question.
However, I will tell you how to solve it and you can apply on the graph you have.

Now, we are given that:
x-axis represents the distance in ft
y-axis represents the time in minutes

To get the time that she has walked when she reaches the farthest point from her house, all you have to do is:
1- go to the greatest point on the x-axis. This point would be representing the farthest distance.
2- get the value of the y corresponding to the x-point you got in step one. This would be the time walked when she reaches the farthest point which is the value you are looking for.

Hope this helps :)
