Although you do not give the rates I assume the answer is D as it is the only positive multiplication. You cannot have negative height.
Answer and Explanation:
Given : The random variable x has the following probability distribution.
To find :
a. Is this probability distribution valid? Explain and list the requirements for a valid probability distribution.
b. Calculate the expected value of x.
c. Calculate the variance of x.
d. Calculate the standard deviation of x.
Solution :
First we create the table as per requirements,
x P(x) xP(x) x² x²P(x)
0 0.25 0 0 0
1 0.20 0.20 1 0.20
2 0.15 0.3 4 0.6
3 0.30 0.9 9 2.7
4 0.10 0.4 16 1.6
∑P(x)=1 ∑xP(x)=1.8 ∑x²P(x)=5.1
a) To determine that table shows a probability distribution we add up all five probabilities if the sum is 1 then it is a valid distribution.
Yes it is a probability distribution.
b) The expected value of x is defined as
c) The variance of x is defined as
d) The standard deviation of x is defined as
Step-by-step explanation:
option C is the correct answer of this question
Answer: Angelo is 13 years old.
Aaron is 15 years old
Alfred is 34 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the age of Angelo.
Let y represent the age of Aaron.
Let z represent the age of Alfred
The sum of three guys ages is 62. It means that
x + y + z = 62 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Angelo is two years younger than Aaron. It means that
x = y - 2
Alfred is four years older than twice Aaron's age. It means that
z = 2y + 4
Substituting x = y - 2 and z = 2y + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
y - 2 + y + 2y + 4 = 62
4y + 2 = 62
4y = 62 - 2 = 60
y = 60/4 = 15
x = y - 2 = 15 - 2
x = 13
z = 2y + 4 = 2 × 15 + 4
z = 34
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve this system using elimination through addition/subtraction. Multiply the second equation by (1/2), which results in the system
y - 4x = 5
4x - y = 8
--------------
0x + 0y = 13. This is NEVER true. This system of equation has NO SOLUTION.
