Answer:
15b
Step-by-step explanation:
3x5
You have to make a tape diagram and divide it in to 9 parts because it is 5 out of 9 then you will make a bracket pointing to only 4 parts of the tape diagram then you do 36/9 and it will equal 4 so put 4 in to each part and so 4 x 4 is 16 so the answer is 16 people prefer historical books
I'll leave the computation via R to you. The
are distributed uniformly on the intervals
, so that

each with mean/expectation
![E[W_i]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty wf_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac w{10i}\,\mathrm dw=5i](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BW_i%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint_%7B-%5Cinfty%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20wf_%7BW_i%7D%28w%29%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D%5Cint_0%5E%7B10i%7D%5Cfrac%20w%7B10i%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D5i)
and variance
![\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=E[(W_i-E[W_i])^2]=E[{W_i}^2]-E[W_i]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_i%5D%3DE%5B%28W_i-E%5BW_i%5D%29%5E2%5D%3DE%5B%7BW_i%7D%5E2%5D-E%5BW_i%5D%5E2)
We have
![E[{W_i}^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty w^2f_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac{w^2}{10i}\,\mathrm dw=\frac{100i^2}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5B%7BW_i%7D%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint_%7B-%5Cinfty%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20w%5E2f_%7BW_i%7D%28w%29%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D%5Cint_0%5E%7B10i%7D%5Cfrac%7Bw%5E2%7D%7B10i%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D%5Cfrac%7B100i%5E2%7D3)
so that
![\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=\dfrac{25i^2}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_i%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B25i%5E2%7D3)
Now,
![E[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[W_1]+E[W_2]+E[W_3]=5+10+15=30](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3DE%5BW_1%5D%2BE%5BW_2%5D%2BE%5BW_3%5D%3D5%2B10%2B15%3D30)
and
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E\left[\big((W_1+W_2+W_3)-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]\big)^2\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3DE%5Cleft%5B%5Cbig%28%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29-E%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%5Cbig%29%5E2%5Cright%5D)
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3DE%5B%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29%5E2%5D-E%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%5E2)
We have

![E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5B%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29%5E2%5D)
![=E[{W_1}^2]+E[{W_2}^2]+E[{W_3}^2]+2(E[W_1]E[W_2]+E[W_1]E[W_3]+E[W_2]E[W_3])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3DE%5B%7BW_1%7D%5E2%5D%2BE%5B%7BW_2%7D%5E2%5D%2BE%5B%7BW_3%7D%5E2%5D%2B2%28E%5BW_1%5DE%5BW_2%5D%2BE%5BW_1%5DE%5BW_3%5D%2BE%5BW_2%5DE%5BW_3%5D%29)
because
and
are independent when
, and so
![E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]=\dfrac{100}3+\dfrac{400}3+300+2(50+75+150)=\dfrac{3050}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5B%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B100%7D3%2B%5Cdfrac%7B400%7D3%2B300%2B2%2850%2B75%2B150%29%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3050%7D3)
giving a variance of
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{3050}3-30^2=\dfrac{350}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3050%7D3-30%5E2%3D%5Cdfrac%7B350%7D3)
and so the standard deviation is

A faster way, assuming you know the variance of a linear combination of independent random variables, is to compute
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D)
![=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]+2(\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_2]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_3]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_2,W_3])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_2%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_3%5D%2B2%28%5Cmathrm%7BCov%7D%5BW_1%2CW_2%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BCov%7D%5BW_1%2CW_3%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BCov%7D%5BW_2%2CW_3%5D%29)
and since the
are independent, each covariance is 0. Then
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3D%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_2%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_3%5D)
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{25}3+\dfrac{100}3+75=\dfrac{350}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B25%7D3%2B%5Cdfrac%7B100%7D3%2B75%3D%5Cdfrac%7B350%7D3)
and take the square root to get the standard deviation.
The equation in the question is not the same as the one in the picture so here's the answers to both of them.
Q1 - 1/3 or 0.333333
Q2 - 1/108 or 0.009259
