A commuter must pass through 5 traffic lights on her way to work and will have to stop at each one that is red. She estimates th

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

(a) The mean or expected value of X is 2.2.

(b) The standard deviation of X is 1.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of times the traffic light is red when a commuter passes through the traffic lights.

The probability distribution of X id provided.

The formula to compute the mean or expected value of X is:

$\mu=E(X)=\sum x.P(X=x)$

The formula to compute the standard deviation of X is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{E(X^{2})-(E(X))^{2}}$

The formula of E (X²) is:

$E(X^{2})=\sum x^{2}.P(X=x)$

(a)

Compute the expected value of X as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x.P(X=x)\\=(0\times0.06)+(1\times0.25)+(2\times0.35)+(3\times0.15)+(4\times0.13)+(5\times0.06)\\=2.22\\\approx2.2$

Thus, the mean or expected value of X is 2.2.

(b)

Compute the value of E (X²) as follows:

$E(X^{2})=\sum x^{2}.P(X=x)\\=(0^{2}\times0.06)+(1^{2}\times0.25)+(2^{2}\times0.35)+(3^{2}\times0.15)+(4^{2}\times0.13)+(5^{2}\times0.06)\\=6.58$

Compute the standard deviation of X as follows:

$\sigma=\sqrt{E(X^{2})-(E(X))^{2}}\\=\sqrt{6.58-(2.22)^{2}}\\=\sqrt{1.6516}\\=1.285\\\approx1.3$

Thus, the standard deviation of X is 1.3.

A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as ed

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

For the cost from the two methods to be equal, 3,200 books have to be produced

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of books that will be produced for two methods of production having different fixed and variable costs to have the same production cost.

Since the number of books is something we do not know, let’s represent it with a variable called c.

For the first production method, the cost of production will be ; 58,881 + 8.50c

For the second production method, the cost of production will be; 18,081 + 21.25c

Now since they are said to be equal, we proceed to equate both;

58,881 + 8.5c = 18,081 + 21.25c

58,881-18,081 = 21.25c - 8.5c

40,800 = 12.75c

c = 40,800/12.75

c = 3,200 books
