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

3. Jim invests $3500, compounded annually at 12% for 3 years. What is the total
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

None of the above, it should be $4760

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 12%/100 = 0.12 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 3500 × 0.12 × 3 = 1260

I = $ 1,260.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 3,500.00

at a rate of 12% per year

for 3 years is $ 1,260.00

nasty-shy [4]

Solution:

we are given that

Last month, Doug's neighbor paid him $55 for 6 hours of mowing.

we have been asked that

Is this situation most likely a proportional relationship?

yes..its as proportional relationship.

Because the amount that Doug get is $55 for 6 hours

It mean for each hour Doug get  is \frac{55}{6} $

It mean if you increase the number of hours then the number of dollars get paid also increases. Hence the given  situation is most likely a proportional relationship.

Steve,Jerry and Ron were paid $29.25 to remove garden gnomes. They each worked 4 hours, exempt for Ron, who was 1 hour late. How
Alenkasestr [34]
Ron should receive $7.98. Jerry and Steve each worked for 4 hours, while Ron was one hour late, so he worked for 3 hours. Together, they worked for 4*2+3=11 hours, receiving $29.25 in total. Each hour should be paid 29.25/11=2.66 dollars. Ron worked for three hours, so he should receive 3*2.66=7.98 dollars.
