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

The interior angles formed by the sides of a quadrilateral have measures that sum to 360°.

stira [4]

The answer is 90 because 360/4 (since it is a quadrilateral) is 90 degrees

Consider the three points ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) and ( 3 , 6 ) . Let ¯ x be the average x-coordinate of these points, and let ¯ y

loris [4]

Answer:

$m=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are: ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) and ( 3 , 6 )

The average of x-coordinate will be:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{\text{number of points}}$

<u>1) Finding $(\overline{x},\overline{y})$ </u>

Average of the x coordinates:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{1+2+3}{3}$

$\overline{x} = 2$

Average of the y coordinates:

similarly for y

$\overline{y} = \dfrac{3+3+6}{3}$

$\overline{y} = 4$

<u>2) Finding the line through $(\overline{x},\overline{y})$ with slope m.</u>

Given a point and a slope, the equation of a line can be found using:

$(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$

in our case this will be

$(y-\overline{y})=m(x-\overline{x})$

$(y-4)=m(x-2)$

$y=mx-2m+4$

this is our equation of the line!

<u>3) Find the squared vertical distances between this line and the three points.</u>

So what we up till now is a line, and three points. We need to find how much further away (only in the y direction) each point is from the line.

Distance from point (1,3)

We know that when x=1, y=3 for the point. But we need to find what does y equal when x=1 for the line?

we'll go back to our equation of the line and use x=1.

$y=m(1)-2m+4$

$y=-m+4$

now we know the two points at x=1: (1,3) and (1,-m+4)

to find the vertical distance we'll subtract the y-coordinates of each point.

$d_1=3-(-m+4)$

$d_1=m-1$

finally, as asked, we'll square the distance

$(d_1)^2=(m-1)^2$

Distance from point (2,3)

we'll do the same as above here:

$y=m(2)-2m+4$

$y=4$

vertical distance between the two points: (2,3) and (2,4)

$d_2=3-4$

$d_2=-1$

squaring:

$(d_2)^2=1$

Distance from point (3,6)

$y=m(3)-2m+4$

$y=m+4$

vertical distance between the two points: (3,6) and (3,m+4)

$d_3=6-(m+4)$

$d_3=2-m$

squaring:

$(d_3)^2=(2-m)^2$

3) Add up all the squared distances, we'll call this value R.

$R=(d_1)^2+(d_2)^2+(d_3)^2$

$R=(m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2$

<u>4) Find the value of m that makes R minimum.</u>

Looking at the equation above, we can tell that R is a function of m:

$R(m)=(m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2$

you can simplify this if you want to. What we're most concerned with is to find the minimum value of R at some value of m. To do that we'll need to derivate R with respect to m. (this is similar to finding the stationary point of a curve)

$\dfrac{d}{dm}\left(R(m)\right)=\dfrac{d}{dm}\left((m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2\right)$

$\dfrac{dR}{dm}=2(m-1)+0+2(2-m)(-1)$

now to find the minimum value we'll just use a condition that $\dfrac{dR}{dm}=0$

$0=2(m-1)+2(2-m)(-1)$

now solve for m:

$0=2m-2-4+2m$

$m=\dfrac{3}{2}$

This is the value of m for which the sum of the squared vertical distances from the points and the line is small as possible!
