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 much more expensive is it, per pound, to buy ground beef at Store B than at Store A?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

2.42

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to use two points from store b to find the slope (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). I chose the first two points. (15.54-25.9)/(1.5-2.5)= 10.36. After you take another point from store b to plug into the equation y1-y2=m (x1-x2). M is the slope we just found and I used the first point.

Y1-15.54=10.36 (x1-1.5) distribute the 10.36 to the parentheses.

Y1-15.54=10.36x -15.54 get y1 by itself

Y=10.36x so store b is 10.36 a pound and store a is 7.94 a pound. 10.36-7.94= 2.42

Tems11 [23]
You have $284 in your credit card balance. 186-174= 12. 99+35= 134 and then 12-134= -122. So 406-122= 284.
