11-3x= 44
Step 1: Subtract 11 from 11 = 0 and 44-11= 33
Step 2: Divide 3 by 3= 0 and divide 44 by 3 = 14.6
X= 14.6

An certain brand of upright freezer is available in three different rated capacities: 16 ft3, 18 ft3, and 20 ft3. Let X = the ra

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

$E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6$

$E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6=349.2$

$V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2=349.2-(18.6)^2=3.24$

The expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer is $466

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we know the probability mass function (pmf) of random variable X.

$\left|\begin{array}{c|ccc}x&16&18&20\\p(x)&0.3&0.1&0.6\end{array}\right|$

Point a:

The Expected value or the mean value of X with set of possible values D, denoted by E(X) or μ is

$E(X) = $\sum_{x\in D} x\cdot p(x)$

Therefore

$E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6$

If the random variable X has a set of possible values D and a probability mass function, then the expected value of any function h(X), denoted by E[h(X)] is computed by

$E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)$

So $h(X) = X^2$ and

$E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)\\E[X^2]=$\sum_{D}x^2\cdot p(x)\\ E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6\\E(X^2)=349.2$

The variance of X, denoted by V(X), is

$V(X) = $\sum_{D}E[(X-\mu)^2]=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2$

Therefore

$V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2\\V(X)=349.2-(18.6)^2\\V(X)=3.24$

Point b:

We know that the price of a freezer having capacity X is 60X − 650, to find the expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer you need to:

From the rules of expected value this proposition is true:

$E(aX+b)=a\cdot E(x)+b$

We have a = 60, b = -650, and E(X) = 18.6. Therefore

The expected price paid by the next customer is

$60\cdot E(X)-650=60\cdot 18.6-650=466$

6. Two observers, 7220 feet apart, observe a balloonist flying overhead between them. Their measures of the

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

h the height of the ballonist above the ground,

a the distance between the two observers,

$a_1$ the horizontal distance between the first observer and the ballonist

$a_2$ the horizontal distance between the second observer and the ballonist

$\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ the angles of elevation meassured by each observer

S the area of the triangle formed with the observers and the ballonist

So, the area of a triangle is the length of its base times its height.

$S=a*h$ (equation 1)

but we can divide the triangle in two right triangles using the height line. So the total area will be equal to the addition of each individual area.

$S=S_1+S_2$ (equation 2)

$S_1=a_1*h$

But we can write $S_1$ in terms of $\alpha _1$ , like this:

$\tan(\alpha _1)=\frac{h}{a_1} \\a_1=\frac{h}{\tan(\alpha _1)} \\S_1=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}$

And for $S_2$ will be the same:

$S_2=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}$

Replacing in the equation 2:

$S=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}\\S=h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})$

And replacing in the equation 1:

$h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})=a*h\\h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}$

So, we can replace all the known data in the last equation:

$h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}\\h=\frac{7220 ft}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(35.6)}+\frac{1}{\tan(58.2)})}\\h=3579,91 ft$

Then, the ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

2 Rita bought three and forty-eight hundredths pounds of bananas at the store. How is this number written in expanded notation?

boyakko [2]

The cost of bananas = $ 3.48

This can be written as :

this number written in expanded notation as : (3 × 1) + (4 × 0.1) + (8 × 0.01)

3+0.4+0.08 = 3.48

Hence, 1st option is correct.

During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?

Novosadov [1.4K]

So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)
