Let X be a normal random variable with mean 3 and variance 4. (a) Find the probability P(2 < X < 6). (b) Find the value c

such that P(X > c) = 0.33. (c) Find E[X2 ]. Hint: You can integrate with the density function, but it is quicker to relate E[X2 ] to the mean and variance.

Answer:

a) the probability of (2 < X < 6) is 0.6247

b) the value of c is 3.878

c) the value of E[ x² ] is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean μ = 3

variance = 4

standard deviation s = √variance  = √4 = 2

(a) Find the probability P(2 < X < 6)

P(2 < X < 6) = p( (x - μ / s ) < z <  (x - μ / s ) )

= p( (2 - 3 / 2 ) < z < (6 - 3 / 2 ) )

= p( -0.5  < z <  1.5)

from z-score table, 1.5; z = 0.9332 and -0.5; z = 0.3085

so

P(2 < X < 6)  = 0.9332 - 0.3085 = 0.6247

Therefore, the probability of (2 < X < 6) is 0.6247

b) Find the value c such that P(X > c) = 0.33

with p-value = 0.33, the corresponding z -score to the right is 0.439

we know that;

z = x - μ / s

we substitute

0.439 = x - 3 / 2

x - 3 = 2 × 0.439

x - 3 = 0.878

x = 0.878 + 3

x = 3.878

Therefore, the value of c is 3.878

c) Find E[ x² ].

Variance = E[ x² ] - [ mean ]²

E[ x² ]  = Variance + [ mean ]²

we substitute

E[ x² ]  = 4 + [ 3 ]²

E[ x² ]  = 4 + 9

E[ x² ]  = 13

Therefore, the value of E[ x² ] is 13

iris [78.8K]

Answer: The range is 13.  The mean is 10. The standard deviation is 4.62 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data : 3, 6, 9, 11, 15, 16

Total number of data values : n = 6

The mean of data is given by :-

\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum^6_{i=1}x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\overline{x}=\dfrac{60}{6}=10

The standard deviation is given by :-

\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}(\sum^6_{i=1}(x_i-\overline{x})^2)}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{6}(\sum^6_{i=1}(x_i-10)^2)}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{6}\times(49+16+1+1+25+36)}=4.61880215352\approx4.62

The range of the data : Maximum value -Minimum value

Find a fraction or mixed number that is between the two numbers -3/4 -1/3
Mandarinka [93]

Hey there!


-3/4 - 1/3

= -3/4 + (-1/3)

≈ -9/12 - 4/12

= -9 - 4 / 12 - 0

≈ -9 - 4 / 12

= -13 / 12

≈ -1 1/12


Therefore, your answer is/

-13/12 or -1 1/12

EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD BE CORRECT BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT OR THE SAME THING.


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
