Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 30% of California residents have adequate earthquake supplies.

a) Ramon variable X denotes the number of the california residents that have adequate earthquake insurance

B) x can take value 1 ,2 ,3 ......

C)The distribution of random variable is geometric distribution with parameter p=0.3

The pmf of geometric distribution is

P(X=x)=0.3(1-0.3)^{x-1} , x=1,2,3...

D)P(X=1) or P(X=2)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)

P(X=1) or P(X=2)=0.3(1-0.3)^{1-1}+0.3(1-0.3)^{2-1}=0.51

E)

P(X \geq 3)=1-P(X

F)

E(X)=\frac{1}{p}

p is the resident who does not have adequate earthquake supplies.

p = 1-0.3 = 0.7

E(X)=\frac{1}{0.7}=1.42

G)E(X)=\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.3}=3.33

How do I make an equation using 0.5 for slope and 3 for y intercept
Ann [662]

The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since you are given the slope (0.5) and the y-intercept (3), all you have to do is substitute these given values into the equation.  Substituting them in you get: y = 0.5x + 3, which is your answer.

The dimensions of a rectangle are such that its length is 3 in more than its width if the length were doubled and if the width w
emmasim [6.3K]

Length (L): w + 3            ⇒2(w + 3)

width (w): w                    ⇒ w - 1

Area (A) = L x w

         A = (w + 3)(w)

         A = w² + 3w

*******************************************

       A + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

(w² + 3w) + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

w² + 3w + 176 = 2w² + 4w - 6

        3w + 176 = w² + 4w - 6

                 176 = w² + w - 6          

                   0 = w² + w - 182

                   0 = (w - 13) (w + 14)

0 = w - 13            0 = w + 14

w = 13                  w = -14

Since width cannot be negative, disregard -14

w = 13

Length (L): w + 3   = (13) + 3   = 16

Answer: width = 13 in, length = 16 in

Find(4) when f(x)=4x^2-3x+3
zimovet [89]
Assuming x = 4, replace each x in the equation with 4:

4(4)^{2} - 3(4) + 3

Solve each term in parentheses:

4(4)^{2}
4^{2} = 16
4 \times 16 = 64

-3(4)
-3 \times 4 = -12

Your equation should now look like this:

64 - 12 + 3 = 55

f(4) will equal 55.
