Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write down the equations so we can have a vision of the equations.

3x - 6y = -12

x - 2y = -8

Now we find the simpler equation, and we make it to where one of the variables is on one side.

Let's use the bottom equation.

x = 2y - 8

Now we plug in the equation to the other equation.

3(2y - 8) - 6y = -12

6y - 24 - 6y = -12

-24 = -12

0 = 12

This is a false statement. 0 does not equal 12. That means that the equation has no solutions.

Suppose that a college determines the following distribution for X = number of courses taken by a full-time student this semeste

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) = 3*0.07 +4*0.4 +5*0.25 +6*0.28= 4.74$ In order to find the variance we need to calculate first the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i) = 3^2*0.07 +4^2*0.4 +5^2*0.25 +6^2*0.28= 23.36$ And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) +[E(X)]^2 = 23.36 -[4.74]^2 = 0.8924$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{0.8924} =0.9447$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following distribution given:

X 3 4 5 6

P(X) 0.07 0.4 0.25 0.28

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i) = 3*0.07 +4*0.4 +5*0.25 +6*0.28= 4.74$

In order to find the variance we need to calculate first the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i) = 3^2*0.07 +4^2*0.4 +5^2*0.25 +6^2*0.28= 23.36$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) +[E(X)]^2 = 23.36 -[4.74]^2 = 0.8924$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{0.8924} =0.9447$

1. A report from the Secretary of Health and Human Services stated that 70% of single-vehicle traffic fatalities that occur at n

Nuetrik [128]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7215 = 72.15% probability that between 10 and 15, inclusive, accidents involved drivers who were intoxicated.

For each fatality, there are only two possible outcomes, either it involved an intoxicated driver, or it did not. The probability of a fatality involving an intoxicated driver is independent of any other fatality, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.
n is the number of trials.
p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

70% of fatalities involve an intoxicated driver, hence $p = 0.7$ .

A sample of 15 fatalities is taken, hence $n = 15$ .

The probability is:

$P(10 \leq X \leq 15) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15)$

Hence

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{15,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.2061$

$P(X = 11) = C_{15,11}.(0.7)^{11}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.2186$

$P(X = 12) = C_{15,12}.(0.7)^{12}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.1700$

$P(X = 13) = C_{15,13}.(0.7)^{13}.(0.3)^{2} = 0.0916$

$P(X = 14) = C_{15,14}.(0.7)^{14}.(0.3)^{1} = 0.0305$

$P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.7)^{15}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.0047$

Then:

$P(10 \leq X \leq 15) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) = 0.2061 + 0.2186 + 0.1700 + 0.0916 + 0.0305 + 0.0047 = 0.7215$

0.7215 = 72.15% probability that between 10 and 15, inclusive, accidents involved drivers who were intoxicated.

Clarisse used the ordered pairs (0, 13) and (24, 5) for her trend line. What would be the y-intercept of her trend line?

laila [671]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You have 2 points to solve the equation y = mx + b. After finding m, use either of the points to find b.

Formula

y = mx + b

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Solution

y2 = 13
y1 = 5
x2 = 0
x1 = 24

m = (13 - 5)/(0 - 24)

m = 8 / - 24

m = - 1/3

y = mx + b

y = -1/3 x + b

Use (0,13) as the point.

13 = -1/3 * 0 + b

13 = b

The y intercept = (0,13)
