The discrete uniform distribution is on the interval 8 ≤ x ≤ 10.
Therefore the probability density function (shown in the figure) is
P(x) = 1/3 = 1/3 for x = 8, 9, 10
       = 0 otherwse

The mean is μ = 1/3.

The variance is 
σ² = Σp(x) (x- μ)²

Because x - μ = 0 for x = 8,9,10, therefore
σ² = 0

Answer:
μ = 1/3
σ² = 0

What are the solutions of 8x2 = 6 + 22x? Check all of the boxes that apply.
Sholpan [36]
Transpose all the terms in the left hand side of the equation. The equation then becomes,
                         8x²  - 22x - 6 =0
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
                        4x² - 11x - 3 = 0 

In this equation, A = 4, B = -11, and C = -3

With the variables identified, the quadratic equation can be used to identify the roots,
                         x = (-B +/- √B² - 4AC) / 2A
The values of x in the equation are,
                        <em> x = 3 and x = -1/4
</em>
<em />Thus, the one of the answer to this item is the third choice, x = 3. <em>

A 3 kg toy car rests st the top of a 0.45 meter ramp. What is its gravitational potential energy?
salantis [7]
<span>gravitational potential energy : P
Gravity : g
Mass : m
height : h

P = mgh  = 3 x 9.8 x 0.45 = 13.23 Joule

Potential energy is work , from the known formula

W = Fd ( work = force x distance ) 

W = P ( in case of potential energy height change)

F is the force acting on the body in case of ideal ramp , the only force acting is the weight of the body

F = mg ( not just <m> as the force is mg (Newton) gravity effect)

d is the displacement in direction of force, as we have considered the force to be the weight not it's component in direction of the ramp , the change in displacement is the change in height so

d = h 

W = Fd = (F = mg) x (d = h) = mgh 

W = mgh = P

Your neighbor has a square shaped pool with side lengths of 3a5 what is the area of the pool
Anvisha [2.4K]

If a square-shaped pool with side lengths are 3a^5 then find the area of the pool

solution:

A = (3a^5) x (3a^5)

   = 9a^5+5

   = 9a^10

The area of the square-shaped pool are 9a^10 based on the given side length which is 3a^5
