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>.

Let's turn this sentence into an equation:

8n = -n + 36

Then solve:

9n = 36 => n=4

Erica earned a total of $15,450 last year from her two jobs. the amount she earned from her job at the store was $1250 more than
dimaraw [331]

If Erica earned a total of $15450 last year from both the jobs then he earns $2840 from college if she earned 1250 more than four times the amount from college from store.

Given Total amount earned=$15450,Amount earned from store is 1250 more than 4 times earned from college.

Amount from store forms an equation.

let the amount earned from college is x.

According to question:

Amount earned from store=4x+1250

Amount earned from college=x

Total amount earned=4x+1250+x

5x+1250=15450

5x=15450-1250

5x=14200

x=14200/5

x=2840

Put the value of x in 4x+1250 to get amount earned from store=4(2840)+1250=$12610.

Hence the amount earned by Erica from college is $2840.
