Say there is a shuttle that has 4 seats (it can carry only 4 passengers at most). The shuttle driver has sold 5 tickets to ride

the shuttle (to 5 people). Define X to be the random variable of the number of people with tickets that show up to ride the shuttle. The probability mass function (pmf) of X is as follows:
x 0 1 2 3 4 5
P(X = x) = f(x) 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.1

a. Verify that f(x) is a valid probability mass function.

b. Find the probability that the shuttle will be able to accommodate all ticketed people that show up (remember the shuttle can only hold 4 people).

c. Say you are the 1st person on the wait list to get on the shuttle (that is to say if less than 4 people with tickets show up, you get a seat). What is the probability that you will be able to board the shuttle?

d. Compute the expectation and variance of X.

e. What is the expected value of 200X − 100?

f. What is expected value of X2 ?

A circle passes through points A(7,4), B(10,6), C(12,3). Show that AC must be the diameter of the circle.
Artist 52 [7]

so we have three points, A, B and C, if indeed AC is the diameter of the circle, then half the distance of AC is its radius, and the midpoint of AC is the center of the circle, morever, since B is also on the circle, the distance from B to the center must be the same radius distance.

in short, half the distance of AC must be equals to the distance of B to the midpoint of AC, if indeed AC is the diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{12+7}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{3+4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{19}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{7}{2} \right)=M\impliedby \textit{center of the circle}

now, let's check the distance from say A to the center, and check the distance of B to the center, if it's indeed the center, they'll be the same and thus AC its diameter.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{19}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{7}{2}})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{19}{2}-7 \right)^2+\left( \frac{7}{2}-4 \right)^2} \\\\\\ AM=\sqrt{\left( \frac{5}{2}\right)^2+\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)^2}\implies \boxed{AM\approx 2.549509756796392} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

Mason owns a trucking company. For every truck that goes out, Mason must pay the driver $13 per hour of driving and also has an
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The required system of equations are

y = 30x

13x + y = 258

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours

that the driver worked.

Let y represent the number of miles that the truck drove.

For every truck that goes out, Mason must pay the driver $13 per hour of driving and also has an expense of $1 per mile driven for gas and maintenance. If on a particular day, his total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $258, it means that

13x + y = 258

On that particular day, the driver drove an average of 30 miles per hour.

Speed = distance/time

It means that

y/x = 30

y = 30x

Select the two figures that are similar to the 9 by 6 figure that’s is shown.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The correct option is 3. The green figure is similar to the 9 by 6 figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a small square represents 1 unit.

From the given figure it is noticed that

1. The dimensions of red figure is 4 by 3.

2.The dimensions of brown figure is 4 by 6.

3.The dimensions of green figure is 2 by 3.

3.The dimensions of purple figure is 3 by 6.

The dimensions of given figure is 9 by 6. The proportion of its dimensions is

\frac{9}{6}=\frac{3}{2}

The corresponding sides of two similar figure are proportional. It means the ration of sides must be \frac{3}{2}.

The dimensions of green figure is 2 by 3. It means the proportion of its dimensions is \frac{3}{2}.

Therefore the correct option is 3. The green figure is similar to the 9 by 6 figure.

a person on a tour has rupees 12000 for his daily expenses. In order to extend his journey for 2 more days he had to cut down hi
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Duration of the tour he planned first is 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a person has 12000 rupees for his daily expenses.

Let x be the number of days.

Then daily expenses per day =\frac{12000}{x}

Given that number of day is increased by 2 more days, that is number of days is x+2.

New daily expense per day \frac{12000}{x+2}

Given that this new daily expenses are 300 less than original.

That is \frac{12000}{x}-\frac{12000}{x+2}=300

              \frac{12000(x+2)-12000x}{x(x+2)}=300

                  \frac{24000}{x(x+2)}=300

                  x(x+2)=\frac{24000}{300}

                    x^{2}+2x-80=0

                    (x-8)(x+10)=0

                     x=8 or -10.

Since number of days cannot be negative, duration of the tour planned=8.
