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

How do I find the vertex and the standard form? Plz explain
xenn [34]

Answer:

Vertex form

y = -4(x + 3)^2 + 10

Standard form;

y = -4x^2-24x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we have the vertex form as

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

(h,k) represents the vertex

We have h as -3 and k as 10

y = a(x+3)^2 + 10

To get a, we substitute any of the points

Let us use (-1,-6)

-6 = a(-1+3)^2 + 10

-6-10 = 4a

4a = -16

a = -16/4

a = -4

So we have the equation as;

y = -4(x+3)^2 + 10

For the standard form;

We expand the vertex form;

y = -4(x + 3)(x + 3) + 10

y = -4(x^2 + 6x + 9) + 10

y = -4x^2 - 24x -36 + 10

y = -4x^2 -24x -26

Which equation correctly applies the distributive property?
lesantik [10]

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distributive law is defined as

a\times (b+c+d)=a\times b+a\times c+a\times d

According to option'A', we get that

a =- 3

b = 6

c = 0.4

d = 0.08

So, it becomes,

-3\times (6.48)=-3\times 6+(-3)\times 0.4+(-3)\times 0.08

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
