Answer:

36 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Nanette goes fishing. Of the fish Nanette catches, 2/3 are catfish.

Let the total fraction of fish = 1

The fraction of fish that is not catfish is

1 - 2/3

= 1/3

Step 2

She catches 12 fish that are not catfish.

Let the total number of catfish = x

Hence,

1/3 × x = 12

Equation is given as:

x/3 = 12

Cross Multiply

x = 3 × 12

x = 36 fishes

The the total number of fish, x that Nanette catches is 36 fishes

The probability distribution of the amount of memory X (GB) in a purchased flash drive is given below. x 1 2 4 8 16 p(x) .05 .10
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) E(X) = 6.45

b) E(X^{2} )= 57.25

c) V(X) = 15.648

d) E(3X + 2) = 21.35

e) E(3X^{2} +2) = 173.75

f) V(3X+2) = 140.832

g) E(X+1) = 7.45

h) V(X+1) = 15.648

Step-by-step explanation:

a) E(X) = \sum xP(x)

E(X) = (1*0.05) + (2*0.10) + (4*0.35) + (8*0.40) + (16*0.10)\\E(X) = 6.45

b)

E(X^{2} ) = (1^{2} *0.05) + (2^{2} *0.10) + (4^{2} *0.35) + (8^{2} *0.40) + (16^{2} *0.10)\\  E(X^{2} )= 57.25

c)

V(X) = E(X^{2} ) - (E(X))^{2} \\V(X) = 57.25 - 6.45^{2} \\V(X) = 15.648

d)

E(3X+2) = 3E(X) + 2\\E(3X+2) = (3*6.45) + 2 \\E(3X+2) = 21.35

e)

E(3X^{2} +2) = 3E(X^{2} ) + 2\\E(3X^{2} +2) = (3*57.25) + 2 \\E(3X^{2} +2) = 173.75

f)

V(3X+2) = 3^{2} V(X)\\V(3X+2) = 9*15.648\\V(3X+2) = 140.832

g)

E(X+1) = E(X) + 1\\E(X+1) = 6.45 + 1\\E(X+1) =7.45

h)

V(X+1) = 1^{2} V(X)\\V(X+1) = 15.648
