A player pays $15 to play a game in which a chip is randomly selected from a bag of chips. The bag contains 10 red chips, 4 blue

chips, and 6 yellow chips. The player wins $5 if a red chip is selected, $10 if a blue chip is selected, and $20 if a yellow chip is selected. Let the random variable x represent the amount won from the selection of the chip, and let the random variable w represent the total amount won, where w=x−15. What is the mean of w ? $10. 50 answer a: $10. 50 a $4. 50 answer b: $4. 50 b −$4. 50 answer c: negative 4. 50 dollars c −$6. 50 answer d: negative 6. 50 dollars d −$10. 50.

The mean of the random variable w that represents the total amount won is; -$4.50

We are given quantity of chips inside the bag as;

  • Number of red chips = 10
  • Number of blue chips = 4
  • Number of Yellow chips = 6

Total number of chips = 20

Thus;

  • P(Red chips) = 10/20 = 0.5
  • P(blue chips) 4/20 = 0.2
  • P(Yellow Chips) = 6/20 = 0.3

Amount won from the selection of Red Chip = 0.5 * $5 = $2.5

Amount won from the selection blue Chip = 0.2 * $10 = $2

Amount won from selection of yellow chip = 0.3 * $20 = $6

Thus;

x = $2.5 + $2 + $6

x = $10.5

We are told that total amount won is gotten from;

w = x − 15

Thus;

w = 10.5 - 15

w = -$4.50

Select the correct statement(s) regarding Passive Optical Networks (PONs).
natta225 [31]

All the given statement(s) regarding Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are correct.

<h3>What is Passive Optical Networks?</h3>

A passive optical network (PON) is defined as a system commonly used by telecommunications network providers that brings fiber optic cabling and signals all or most of the way to the end user. Depending on where the PON terminates, the system can be described as fiber to the curb, fiber to the building or fiber to the home.

Now, there are different types of passive optical network's (PON's) such as;

APON which is ATM Passive Optical Networks.

BPON which is Broadband PON.

EPON which is Ethernet PON.

GE-PON which means Gigabit Ethernet PON.

GPON which means Gigabit Ethernet PON.

Looking at the options and comparing with the definition of passive optical network's (PON's), we can say that all the statements are correct.

The missing options are;

a. PONS does not require the use of active amplification between the CO to the subscriber

b. PONS operates over SMF optical cables

c. PONS uses passive splitters to distribute signals to subscribers

d. the PONS ONT located at the subscribers location is owned and operated by the service provider

e. all statements are correct

What is the range of the function f(x)=3x^2+12x + 18
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: {y∈R: y≤6} or [6,∞)

Explanation:

This problem doesn't require too much math. If you look at the equation given, you can see that it is a quadratic equation in the form ofy=Ax^2+Bx+C. Since this is a quadratic equation, we have an idea of that the graph would look like. It either curves up or down. Since this is a positive equation, (+3x^2), we know that this is going to curve up. In order to find the minimum of the curve, you would use \frac{-b}{2a}.

\frac{-12}{2(3)}=-2

This means the x value of the parabola is -2. To find the y, you plug -2 into the  original equation.

f(2)=3(-2)^2+12(-2)+18

f(2)=6

Now that we know the y value of the minimum/vertex is 6, and it is determined that the parabola curves up, the range is y≤6 because the range starts at 6 and goes off toward infinity.

The pun in this passage relies on which two definitions of the word lose? ""to waste"" ""to be defeated in a contest or game"" "
Strike441 [17]

The pun in the passage that relies on two definitions of the word lose are: C: To Misplace and D: To suffer the death of someone dear.

<h3>What is the pun in the passage?</h3>

Woman Bracknell in the passage depicted the image of Victorian sincerity and the despondency because she was egotistical, savage, moderate, and appropriate.

Now, in different ways, she addresses Wilde's assessment of Victorian high society antagonism, moderate and harsh qualities, and power.

Jack and Algernon strived to be dedicated but Jack found out that his folks were Lady Bracknell's sister and brother by marriage and that he is Algernon's more seasoned sibling named Ernest.

Finally the pun in the passage that relied on two definitions of the word lose are "To misplace" and "to suffer the death of someone dear"
