Answer: The third answer

Step-by-step explanation:

7/10 is 0.7 and 2/6 is 0.33, 2/6 would be less than 1/2 because 1/2 is 0.5, 0.7 is greater than that benchmark

Consider a discrete random variable x with pmf px (1) = c 3 ; px (2) = c 6 ; px (5) = c 3 and 0 otherwise, where c is a positive

PtichkaEL [24]

Looks like the PMF is supposed to be

$\mathbb P(X=x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }x\in\{1,5\}\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }x=2\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

which is kinda weird, but it's not entirely clear what you meant...

Anyway, assuming the PMF above, for this to be a valid PMF, we need the probabilities of all events to sum to 1:

$\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac c6+\dfrac c3=\dfrac{5c}6=1\implies c=\dfrac65$

Next,

$\mathbb P(X>2)=\mathbb P(X=5)=\dfrac c3=\dfrac25$

$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{2c}6+\dfrac{5c}3=\dfrac{7c}3=\dfrac{14}5$

$\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E\bigg((X-\mathbb E(X))^2\bigg)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2$
$\mathbb E(X^2)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x^2\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{4c}6+\dfrac{25c}3=\dfrac{28c}3=\dfrac{56}5$
$\implies\mathbb V(X)=\dfrac{56}5-\left(\dfrac{14}5\right)^2=\dfrac{84}{25}$

If $Y=X^2+1$ , then $X^2=Y-1\implies X=\sqrt{Y-1}$ , where we take the positive root because we know $X$ can only take on positive values, namely 1, 2, and 5. Correspondingly, we know that $Y$ can take on the values $1^2+1=2$ , $2^2+1=5$ , and $5^2+1=26$ . At these values of $Y$ , we would have the same probability as we did for the respective value of $X$ . That is,

$\mathbb P(Y=y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=2\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }y=5\\\\\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=26\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Part (5) is incomplete, so I'll stop here.

Evaluate for x = 2.<br><br> (12x + 8)<br> 4 <br> A) 4 <br> B) 5 <br> C) 6 <br> D) 8

Aleks [24]

What you want to do here is plug 2 in for x. when a question asks you to evaluate a certain equation at a certain number, it's just asking you to plug the value in for your variable. i'm assuming that 12x + 8 is meant to be set over 4 as a fraction.

(12(2) + 8)/4 ... figure out the top first. 12*2 = 24, 24 + 8 = 32.

32/4 = 8, so your correct choice is D.
