Answer:

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 9463.394

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

A couple book a cruise to Alaska that promises to refund 100 per day of rain on the seven day cruise up to a maximum of 300.

It is possible that the couple won't be able to refund up 100 per day or more than 100 per day.

SO; let assume that the refund payment happens to be 0, 100,200, 300

Let X be the total refund payment on the seven day cruise.

We can say X = 0, if there is no rain on all 7 days.

$P(X = 0) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 0) = _7C_o * 0.2^0 * (1-0.2)^{7-0$

$P(X = 0) =1 * 1* (1-0.2)^{7$

$P(X = 0) =(0.8)^{7$

$P(X = 0) =0.2097152$

If it rains on any one day; then X = 100

$P(X = 100) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 100) = _7C_1 * 0.2^1 * (1-0.2)^{7-1$

$P(X = 0) =7 * 0.2* (1-0.2)^{6$

$P(X = 100) =7* 0.2* (0.8)^{6$

$P(X = 100) =0.3670016$

if it rains on any two day ; then X = 200

$P(X = 200) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 200) = _7C_2 * 0.2^2 * (1-0.2)^{7-2$

$P(X = 200) = 21 * 0.2^2 * (0.8)^{5$

$P(X = 200) = 0.2752512$

if it rains on any three day or more than that ; then X = 300

$P(X \ge 300) = 1 - P(X < 300) \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + P(X = 100) + P(X = 200)] \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 1 - [0.2097152 + 0.3670016 + 0.2752512] \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 0.148032$

Now; we have our probability distribution function as:

P(X = 0) = 0.2097152

P(X = 100) = 0.3670016

P(X = 200) = 0.2752512

P(X = 300) = 0.148032

In order to determine the variance of the refund payment to the couple; we use the formula:

variance of the refund payment to the couple $[Var X] =E [X^2] - (E [X])^2$

where;

$E[X^2] = \sum x^2 \times p \\ \\ E[X^2] = 0^2 * 0.2097152 + 100^2 * 0.3670016 + 200^2 * 0.2752512 + 300^2 * 0.148032 \\ \\ E[X^2] = 0 + 3670.016 + 11010.048+ 13322.88 \\ \\ E[X^2] =28002.944$

$(E [X]) = \sum x * p\\ \\ (E [X]) = 0 * 0.2097152 + 100 * 0.3670016 + 200 * 0.2752512 + 300 * 0.148032 \\ \\ (E [X]) = 0 + 36.70016 + 55.05024 + 44.4096\\ \\ (E [X]) = 136.16 \\ \\ (E [X])^2 = 136.16^2 \\ \\ (E [X])^2 = 18539.55$

NOW;

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 28002.944 - 18539.55

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 9463.394

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer is 54^2.

since there are triangles in this one, it is easier to do this. all you have to do is make boxes in and since there are angles, outside the lines. like this picture.

the orange is 1
red and dotted is 2
blue is 3
purple is 4(a regular box which should be easy to count.

all you have to do is add up all the boxes within the boundaries.
boundary 1: 12
boundary 2: 18
boundary 3: 6
boundary 4: 36

now when the boundary has a triangle in it (1, 2, & 3) divide the number you got in half or 2.
boundary 1: 6
boundary 2: 9
boundary 3: 3

the ractangle box doesn't not get divided.
boundary 1: 6
boundary 2: 9
boundary 3: 3
boundary 4: 36

add all the numbers you got now for each boundary and that would be your area squared.

6+9+3+36=54^2

so your final answer is 54^2.

i hope this helps you.
