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.

How do I find the y intercept in a fraction

Furkat [3]

ANSWER:

Both functions have the same slope

The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

The table and the grahp express an equivalent function

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

In order to compare, we must calculate the slope of the table, knowing that the equation in its slope and intercept form is the following:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where m is the slope and b is y-intercept} \end{gathered}$

The formula to calculate the slope is the following:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The points are (-6, -9/2) and (4,3), replacing:

$m=\frac{3-(-\frac{9}{2})}{4-(-6)}=\frac{3+\frac{9}{2}}{4+6}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{10}=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4}$

The slope is 3/4

Now, for b

x = 4

y = 3

m = 3/4

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} 3=\frac{3}{4}\cdot4+b \\ b=3-3 \\ b=0 \end{gathered}$

The equation is:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x$

Therefore, the true statements are:

• Both functions have the same slope

• The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

• The table and the grahp express an equivalent function
