It costs 20 cents to receive a photo and 30 cents to send a photo from a cellphone. C is the cost of one photo (either sent or r

eceived). The probability of receiving a photo is 0.6. The probability sending a photo is 0.4. (a) Find PC(c), the PMF of C. (b) What is E[C], the expected value of C

Answer:

(a) PC(C)=     \left \{ {{0.6 \ \ \ \ x=20} \atop 0.4 \ \ \ \ {x=30}} \right. \\\ 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ else

(b) E[C] = 24 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost to receive a photo = 20 cents

Cost to send a photo = 30 cents

Probability of receiving a photo = 0.6

Probability of sending a photo = 0.4

We need to find

(a) PC(c)

(b) E[C]

Solution:

(a)

PC(C)=     \left \{ {{0.6 \ \ \ \ c=20} \atop 0.4 \ \ \ \ {c=30}} \right. \\\ 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ else

(b)

Expected value can be calculated by multiplying probability with cost.

E[C] = Probability × cost

E[C] = 0.6\times20 +0.4 \times 30 = 12 + 12 = 24\  cents

7nadin3 [17]
Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
      x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist

Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,
 
                                   (x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40

Calculating gives x = 14 

Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.

Upper A baseball organization tests players to see whether they are using​ performance-enhancing drugs. Officials select a team
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Cluster sampling

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing part of Question

Find:

a) Which type of sample is this?

b) Is it the correct choice ?

Solution:

- Simple random sample is the one in which every individual would have equal chance of being selected.

- Stratified random sample draws simple random sample from the independent sub-groups.

- Systematic sampling is letting every kth individual be in the sample ( k as an integer )

- Convenience sampling is used for example voluntary response or a sub-group from the population.

a)

Cluster sampling was used in our case because one of all the teams were chosen and this entire team is in this sample.

b)

No. This method has limitation of giving us a shortsighted view which lacks the overview on the use of performance-enhancing drugs, we can only use this sample to draw conclusions on the team.
