Answer:

E (X) = 1.8

Var (X) = 0.36

σ = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Denote the random variable X : is the number of red marbles that Suzan has in her hand after she selects three marbles.

- Total sample space (bag) have the following quantity of colored marbles:

                Bag : { 3 Red , 2 Green }

- Suzan selects three marbles from the bag. The Event (X) defines the number of red marbles out of 3.

- The total number of outcomes / selections for randomly selecting 3 balls from the bag:

               All outcomes = 5 C 3 = 10

- The probability distribution of the random variable X, we will use combinations to determine the required probabilities:

  X = 1 red marble:

        P ( X = 1 ) : Suzan chooses 1 Red marble from the available 3 red marble and 2 green marbles.

        P ( X = 1 ) = [ 3C1*2C2 ] / all outcomes = (3*1) / 10 = 0.3

X = 2 red marble:

        P ( X = 2 ) : Suzan chooses 2 Red marble from the available 3 red marble and 1 green marbles.

        P ( X = 2 ) = [ 3C2*2C1 ] / all outcomes = (3*2) / 10 = 0.6

X = 3 red marble:

        P ( X = 3 ) : Suzan chooses 3 Red marble from the available 3 red marble.

        P ( X = 3 ) = [ 3C3] / all outcomes = (1) / 10 = 0.1

- The probability distribution is as follows:

          X :         1                 2                3

       P (X):       0.3            0.6              0.1

- The expected value E(X) for the given random variable X is:

                E ( X ) = ∑Xi*P(Xi)

                           = 1*0.3 + 2*0.6 + 3*0.1

                           =1.8

- The variance Var(X) for the given random variable X is:

                Var ( X ) = ∑Xi^2*P(Xi) - [ E(X) ] ^2

                               = 1^2*0.3 + 2^2*0.6 + 3^2*0.1 - 1.8^2

                               = 0.36

- The standard deviation for the given random variable X is:

                σ = √Var(X)

                σ = √0.36

                σ = 0.6

Which equations are equivalent to 1/5 + 2/3 |2-xl = 4/15? Check all that apply.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

(2 - x ) = 1 / 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 5 + 2 / 3 (2 - x ) = 4 / 15

Subtract 1 / 5 from both sides

2 / 3 (2 - x ) = 4 / 15 - 1 / 5

2 / 3 (2 - x ) = 1 / 15

Multiply 3 / 2 on both sides

(2 - x ) = 1 / 15 * 3 / 2

(2 - x ) = 1 / 10

Round nine point four two to one decimal place
Alona [7]
Well in order to round 9.42 to the closest whole number we must know that. anything below 5 we round down and 5 and up we round up

So 9.42 becomes 9

of if your wanting to round to the nearest tenth it would be 9.4 you drop the 2 because you rounded down since it was lower than 5.
