What is 0.5 repeating as a fraction in simplest form

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Start be letting x = 0.555...

Our original equation is:

x = 0.555...

There is only one digit repeating, the 5, so we multiply both sides of that equation by 10 and write it above the original equation.

10x = 5.555...

x = 0.555...

Now we subtract the second equation from the first equation as written above.

9x = 5

Divide both sides by 9.

x = 5/9

0.555... = 5/9

Please help me with the question

(i) The mean is

$\displaystyle E(X) = \sum_x x \, P(X = x) \\\\ E(X) = 1\cdot0.175 + 2\cdot0.315 + 3\cdot0.211 + 4\cdot0.092 + 5\cdot0.207 \\\\ \boxed{E(X) = 2.839}$

The variance is

$V(X) = E((X - E(X))^2) = E(X^2) - E(X)^2$

Compute the second moment $E(X^2)$ :

$\displaystyle E(X^2) = \sum_x x^2 \, P(X = x) \\\\ E(X) = 1^2\cdot0.175 + 2^2\cdot0.315 + 3^2\times0.211 + 4^2\times0.092 + 5^2\times0.207 \\\\ E(X^2) = 9.997$

Then the variance is

$\boxed{V(X) \approx 1.9171}$

(ii) For a random variable $Z=aX+b$ , where $a,b$ are constants, we have

$E(Z) = E(aX+b) = E(aX) + E(b) = a E(X) + b$

and

$V(Z) = E((aX+b)^2) - E(aX+b)^2 \\\\ V(Z) = E(a^2 X^2 + 2ab X + b^2) - (a E(X) + b)^2 \\\\ V(Z) = a^2 (E(X^2) - E(X)^2) \\\\ V(Z) = a^2 V(X)$

Then for $Y=\frac{X+3}2$ , we have

$E(Y) = \dfrac12 E(X) + \dfrac32 \\\\ \boxed{E(Y) = 2.918}$

$E(Y^2) = E\left(\left(\dfrac{X+3}2\right)^2\right) = \dfrac14 E(X^2) + \dfrac32 E(X) + \dfrac94 \\\\ \boxed{E(Y^2) \approx 9.0028}$
