The table below shows the probability distribution of student ages in a high school with 1500 students. What is the expected value for the age of a randomly chosen student?

Age: 13 14 15 16 17 18
Prob: 0.01 0.25 0.27 0.30 0.16 0.01

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value =prob(age)

(13*0.01)+(14*0.25)+(15*0.27)+(16*0.30)+(17*0.16)+(18*0.01)=15.38

round off to get 15

Answer 2

The expected value for the age of a randomly chosen student is 15.

What is probability?

The ratio of good outcomes to all possible outcomes of an event is known as probability. A lot of successful results for an experimental with 'n' results can be represented by the symbol x.

Given:

Total number of students, n = 1500,

Age : 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Probability : 0.01, 0.25, 0.27, 0.30, 0.16, 0.01

Calculate the expected value as shown below,

[tex]E = x_1P_1 + x_2P_2+x_3P_3+x_4P_4+x_5P_5+x_6P_6[/tex]

E = 13 × 0.01 + 14 × 0.25 + 15 × 0.27 + 16 × 0.30 + 17 × 0.16 + 18 × 0.01

E = 0.13 + 3.5 + 4.05 + 4.8 + 2. 72 + 0.18

E = 15.38 ≈ 15

Therefore, the expected value for the age of a randomly chosen student is 15.

Write the equation of a parabola containing the point 6,3 with vertex at 5,-3

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/3 x 2 +4 x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a (x - h)2 + k

where (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h,k) = ( - 6, 3)

y = a ( x + 6)2 + 3

to find a substitute (12,9) into the equation

9 = 18 a + 3

18 a = 9 - 3 = 6 a = 6/18 = 1/3

y = 1/3 (x + 6)2 + 3

distributing gives

y = 1/3 (x2 + 12x + 36) + 3

Brayden and his friends are driving across the US from New York to Los Angeles at a constant speed without stopping. When they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles. When they have driven for 15 hours, they are 1500 miles away from Los Angeles.a) Find a linear function that models the remaining distance, DD, to Los Angeles as a function of the amount of time, t, that Brayden and his friends have been driving.

Answers

Answer:

d=-40t+2100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the distance between New York to Los Angeles and speed of driving is v miles/hour.

As when they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles, so the distance covered in 10 hours is d-1700 miles.

Similarly, the distance covered in 15 hours is d-1500 miles.

So, the distance covered in 5 hours = (d-1500)-(d-1700) =d-1500-d+1700=200 miles.

As speed = distance/time,

So the speed of driving, v=200/5=40 miles/hour

Let d (in miles) be the remaining distance at any time instant t (in hour) and the linear relation between d and t is

d=at+b ...(i)

where a and b are constants.

When they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles, so putting t=10 and d=1700 in the equation (i), we have

1700=10a+b

b=1700-10a...(ii)

Similarly, when they have driven for 15 hours, they are 1500 miles away from Los Angeles, so

1500=15a+b

1500=15a+1700-10a

1500-1700=5a

-200=5a

a= -200/5

a= -40

From equation (ii), we have

b=1700-10(-40)=1700+400=2100

From equation (i), the required equation is

d=-40t+2100

Hence the required linear function is d=-40t+2100.

so lets use points (0,2) (1,5)

5-2 / 1-0 = 3

m=3

we have y=3x + b

now we find b by pugging in a point, let's use (0,2)

weeks of purchasing lunches.

Answers

Answer:

(See step-by-step)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s start by making A-(X) and W-(Y). So, when substituting the variables you get x=210-35y. When x=0, the answer to the equation is 6. So, the y-intercept (when x=0) is 6 or (0,6). When y=0, the answer to the equation/x-intercept(y=0) is 210 or (210,0). The graph itself looks like the image included.

The domain, realistically, is x>=0 however on the graph itself, the domain is x= All Real Numbers. The range realistically is y>=0, but on the graph it is also All Real Numbers.

Write an equation.
b=

Answers

Answer:

b=-0.0019a + 215

at 2500 ft, b=210.25 degrees F

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope. a=altitude, b = temperature

slope is b2-b1 / a2-a1

points are (8200, 199.42) and (4700, 206.07)

(206.07 - 199.42) / (4700-8200)

= 6.65/ -3500

= - 0.0019

we have b = -0.0019a + intercept

plug in a point to find intercept

199.42 = -0.0019*8200 + intercept

intercept = 199.42 + 15.58 = 215

b=-0.0019a + 215

at a=2500 ft, substitute into equation

b= -0.0019*2500 + 215

= -4.75 + 215

= 210.25 degrees F
