Question:
The n candidates for a job have been ranked 1, 2, 3,..., n. Let x = rank of a randomly selected candidate, so that x has pmf:

(this is called the discrete uniform distribution).
Compute E(X) and V(X) using the shortcut formula.
[Hint: The sum of the first n positive integers is
, whereas the sum of their squares is
Answer:

or 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
PMF

Required
Determine the E(x) and Var(x)
E(x) is calculated as:

This gives:



From the hint given:

So:


Var(x) is calculated as:

Calculating: 


Using the hint given:

So:


So:





Take LCM



Apply difference of two squares

Answer:
24501.42 cubic meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cylinder
= pi r^2 h
Given diameter = 34
radius r = diameter/2
= 34/2 = 17
So radius r = 17
Height h = 27
Pi = 3.14
Volume = 3.14 x (17)^2 x 27
= 3.14 x 17 x17 x 27
Multiply through
= 24501.42 cubic meters
You use long division when you divide polynomial by other polynomials. You use synthetic division to divide polynomials by binomials of the form (x-k).
