Answer:
The estimated mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information,
Number of rocket hits | Observed number of regions
0 | 228
1 | 214
2 | 94
3 | 32
4 | 7
5 | 0
6 | 0
7 | 1
We are asked to estimate the mean number of rocket hits in the region.
The mean or expected value is given by
Therefore, the mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.
For the first, simply plug in the value of x given (x = 2) into the equation:
So, 8 would be your answer.
For the second, the sum of x and 2 would be expressed as x + 2. Twice this sum would be written as 2(x+2). Finally, 8 less than twice that sum would be written as 2(x+2) - 8, which would be your expression.
For the last question, the coefficient refers to the number directly in front of the variable, x. So you need only to check what the x would simplify to in each equation and look for the expression where x has no coefficient (i.e., its coefficient is 1). For Hunter, the coefficient would be 15 (5 × 3x = 15x); for Michael, the coefficient would be 11 (6x + 5x = 11x); for Nate, the coefficient would be 1 (x = 1x); and for Spencer, the coefficient would be 2 (2x = 2x). Thus, Nate's expression has a coefficient of 1 when simplified.
