Answer: V(X) = 0.96

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Variance</u> is defined as the average of the squared difference from the sample or population mean.

For a discrete frequency distribution is calculated following the steps:

1) Determine expected value or mean:

E(X)=\frac{\Sigma xf}{\Sigma f}

E(X)=\frac{0(700)+1(900)+2(600)+3(300)}{2500}

E(X) = 1.2

2) Multiply frequency and the squared difference of x and expected value:

f(x-E(X))^{2}

700(0-1.2)^{2}=1008\\900(1-1.2)^{2} = 36\\600(2-1.2)^{2} = 384\\300(3-1.2)^{2} = 972

3) Add them:

\Sigma [f(x-E(X))^{2}] = 1008 + 36 + 384 + 972 = 2400

4) Divide the sum per frequency total:

V(X)=\frac{\Sigma [f(x-E(X))^{2}]}{\Sigma f}

V(X)=\frac{2400}{2500}

V(X) = 0.96

The variance of the number of cups of coffee is <u>0.96</u>.

Brrunno [24]
The formula is Interest = principle times rate times time in years.
                        I=prt        

p=1000
r= 0.025
t=x

To find the amount of interest that is earned in a specific time frame, subtract the final amount of money by the principal. 1500-1000=500.

500 = 1000(0.025)x
500 = 25x   
x= 20 years

HELP PLSSSSS Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle. The angle bisectors and the perpendicular bisectors meet at D in such a wa
vazorg [7]
CE = CD + DE = 2DE + DE = 3DE = 8.7

DE = 8.7/3 = 2.9
CD = 2DE = 5.8

For the inscribed circle, where center is point D. The radius is length DE.
This is because the circle will touch the 3 points where the bisectors intersect with sides of triangle.
radius = 2.9

For circumscribed circle, the center will also be point D. The radius is CD.
The circle will touch 3 points of triangle, A,B,C.
radius = 5.8
