Part A

E(X) = -33*0.5 - 25*0.24 -14*018 -4*0.08= -25.34

E(X^2) = (-33)^2*0.5 + (-25)^2*0.24 +(-14)^2*018+ (-4)^2*0.08= 731.06

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 731.06 -(-25.34)^2 = 88.944

$sd(X) = \sqrt{88.944}= 9.431$

Part B

a) $P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.87)^{19} (1-0.87)^{20-19}=0.184$

b) $P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.87)^{18} (1-0.87)^{20-18}=0.262$

c) P(X18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.87)^{20} (1-0.87)^{20-20}=0.0617$

And replacing we have:

P(X18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)= 0.184+0.0617= 0.246

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

For this case we have the following distribution given:

x -33 -25 -14 -4

P(X = x) 0.5 0.24 0.18 0.08

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And if we replace we got:

E(X) = -33*0.5 - 25*0.24 -14*018 -4*0.08= -25.34

Now we can calculate the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we have:

E(X^2) = (-33)^2*0.5 + (-25)^2*0.24 +(-14)^2*018+ (-4)^2*0.08= 731.06

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = E(X^2) -[E(X)]^2 = 731.06 -(-25.34)^2 = 88.944

And the deviation would be:

$sd(X) = \sqrt{88.944}= 9.431$

Part B

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

For this case we know that $X \sim Bin (n = 20, p =0.87)$

a) $P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.87)^{19} (1-0.87)^{20-19}=0.184$

b) $P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.87)^{18} (1-0.87)^{20-18}=0.262$

c) P(X18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.87)^{20} (1-0.87)^{20-20}=0.0617$

And replacing we have:

P(X18) = P(X=19) +P(X=20)= 0.184+0.0617= 0.246

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.

Answer from: Quest

the correct answer is b.

this is because an open circle means < or > & since the line goes left it is < -3.

the next one has a filled circle so it can only be ≥ or ≤ and since the line goes right from 1 it is ≥ 1

hope that
