A collection of 30 gems, all of which are identical in appearance, are supposedto be genuine diamonds, but actually contain 8 wo

rthless stones. The genuine diamonds arevalued at $1200 each. Two gems are selected.
(a) Let X denote the total actual value of the gems selected. Find the probability distribution function for X.
(b) Find E(X).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

There are 30 collections of gems, of which 8 are worthless;

Thus, the number of the genuine diamonds = 30 - 8 = 22.

Let X = random variable;

X consider the value as 0 (for  2 worthless stone selection),

X = 1200(1 worthless stone  & 1 genuine stone)

X = 2400 (2 genuine stones selected)

However, the numbers of ways of selecting and chosen Gems can be estimated as:

(^n_r) = (^{30}_2) \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{30!}{2!(30-2)!} \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{30!}{2!(28)!}  \\ \\  \implies \dfrac{30*29*28!}{2!(28)!} \\ \\  \implies  \dfrac{30*29}{2*1} \\ \\ \implies 435

Thus;

Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{(^8_2)}{435}

Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}}{435} \\ \\ Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8!}{2!(6)!}}{435}  \\ \\ Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8*7*6!}{2!(6)!}}{435} \\ \\  Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8*7}{2*1}}{435} \\ \\   Pr (X = 0) = 0.0644

P(X =1200) = \dfrac{(^{8}_{1})(^{22}_{1})}{435}

P(X =1200) = \dfrac{ \dfrac{8!}{1!(8-1)!}) ( \dfrac{22!}{1!(22-1)!}) }{435}

P(X =1200) = \dfrac{ (8) ( 22) }{435}

P(X =1200) =0.4046

Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{(^{22}_2)}{435}

Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22!}{2!(22-2)!}}{435} \\ \\ Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22!}{2!(20)!}}{435}  \\ \\ Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22*21*20!}{2!(20)!}}{435} \\ \\  Pr (X =2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22*21}{2*1}}{435} \\ \\   Pr (X = 2400) = 0.5310

To find E(X):

E(X) = (0 × 0.0644) + (1200 × 0.4046)  + (2400 × 0.5310)

E(X) = 0 + 485.52 + 1274.4

E(X) = 1759.92

6) The sum of three consecutive numbers is 120.<br> What is the smallest of the three numbers ?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest number be n,

then the three numbers are n, n+1 and n+2

Therefore, n+(n+1)+(n+2)=120

Collecting like terms,

n+n+n=120-1-2

3n=117

n=117/3

n=39

Therefore the numbers are 39,40 and 41.

And the smallest number is 39.

The probability is 0.8997.

We will use a z-score to answer this question.  z-scores are given by the formula
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

With our information, we have
z=\frac{622-590}{25}=\frac{32}{25}=1.28

Looking this up in a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area to the left of this (everything less than, up to this value) is 0.8997.

Express answer in exact form.
bazaltina [42]
The answer is 5.13 in²

Step 1. Calculate the diameter of the circle (d).
Step 2. Calculate the radius of the circle (r).
Step 3. Calculate the area of the circle (A1).
Step 4. Calculate the area of the square (A2).
Step 5. Calculate the difference between two areas (A1 - A2) and divide it by 4 (because there are total 4 segments) to get <span>the area of one segment formed by a square with sides of 6" inscribed in a circle.
</span>
Step 1:
The diameter (d) of the circle is actually the diagonal (D) of the square inscribed in the circle. The diagonal (D) of the square with side a is:
D = a√2            (ratio of 1:1:√2 means side a : side a : diagonal D = 1 : 1 : √2)
If a = 6 in, then D = 6√2 in.
d = D = 6√2 in

Step 2.
The radius (r) of the circle is half of its diameter (d):
r = d/2 = 6√2 / 2 = 3√2 in

Step 3.
The area of the circle (A1) is:
A = π * r²
A = 3.14 * (3√2)² = 3.14 * 3² * (√2)² = 3.14 * 9 * 2 = 56.52 in²

Step 4.
The area of the square (A2) is:
A2 = a²
A2 = 6² = 36 in²

Step 5:
(A1 - A2)/4 = (56.52 - 36)/4 = 20.52/4 =  5.13 in²
