Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

$35 x .25 = $8.75 (Amount Dara has saved)

25% as a decimal is .25 so you just want to multiply.25 and 35 together. You’ll get 8.75. 8.75 is 25% of $35, and since that’s how much it’s discounted, she saved $8.75

Exercise 5.2. Suppose that X has moment generating function

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a) Mean, E(X) = - 0.5

Variance = = 9.25

b) $M_{X}(t)=E(e^{tX})$

⇒ $=\sum e^{tx}p(x)$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{1}{6}e^{5t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

moment generating function of X as:

MX(t) = $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}e^{-4t} + \frac{1}{6} e^{5t}$

a) Now

Mean, E(X) = $M_{X}'(t=0)$

Thus,

$M_{X}'(t)=\frac{1}{3}(-4)e^{-4t}+\frac{1}{6}(5)e^{5t}$

$M_{X}'(t)=\frac{-4}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{5}{6}e^{5t}$

also,

$E(X^{2})=M_{X}''(t=0)$

Thus,

$M_{X}''(t)=\frac{-4}{3}(-4)e^{-4t}+\frac{5}{6}(5)e^{5t}$

$M_{X}''(t)=\frac{16}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{25}{6}e^{5t}$

Therefore,

Mean, E(X) = $M_{X}'(t=0)=\frac{-4}{3}e^{-4(0)}+\frac{5}{6}e^{5(0)}$

Mean, E(X) = - 0.5

and

$E(X^{2})=M_{X}''(t=0)=\frac{16}{3}e^{-4(0)}+\frac{25}{6}e^{5(0)}$

$E(X^{2})$ = 9.5

also,

Variance(X) = E(X²) - E(X)²

⇒ 9.5 - (-0.5)²

= 9.25

b) Now,

Let f(x) be the PMF of X

Thus,

$M_{X}(t)=E(e^{tX})$

⇒ $=\sum e^{tx}p(x)$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}e^{-4t}+\frac{1}{6}e^{5t}$

Therefore,

at x = 0, P(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$

at x= - 4 ,P(x) = $\frac{1}{3}$

at x = 5, P(x) = $\frac{1}{6}$

Thus,

E(X) = $\sum xP(x)=0(\frac{1}{2})+(-4)(\frac{1}{3})+5(\frac{1}{6})$

E(X) = - 0.5

also, $E(X^{2})=\sum x^{2}P(x)=0^{2}(\frac{1}{2})+(-4)^{2}(\frac{1}{3})+5^{2}(\frac{1}{6})$

$E(X^{2})$ = 9.5

Hence,

Var(X) = E(X²) - E(X)²

⇒ 9.5 - (-0.5)²

= 9.25

A cab charges $1.45 for the flat fee and $0.55 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Ariel ca

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you first need to know what the inequality symbols mean!

≤ Less than or equal to

≥ Greater than or equal to

So if Ariel has $35 this mean the following:

$1.45 is the flat fee or y-intercept

$0.55 is the slope

This mean the following:

$1.45 + $ 0.55x ≤ $35

$0.55x ≤ $33.55

x≤61
