Probability 0.1 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.1 which is the expected value of the random variable with the given probability distribution? a. 17 c. 17.8 b. 17.2

Option b 17.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a probability distribution of a random variable say x in table form.We have to find the mean.

All probabilities lie between 0 and 1 and add to 1.

Hence this is a valid prob distribution.

To find mean we multiply the random variable x value with probability and add.

Mean = E(X) =

Hence option b is right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

duck you

7.9m and 4.3°

step-by-step explanation:

let east be +x and north be +y, x = distance * cos θ, y = distance * sin θ  

for 3.5 south, y = -3.5  

for 8.2, x = 8.2 * cos 30 and y = 8.2 * sin 30  

for 15 west, x = -15  

total x = 8.2 * cos 30 – 15 ≈ -7.9  

total y = -3.5 + 8.2 * sin 30 = 0.6  

magnitude = [(8.2 * cos 30 – 15)^2 + 0.6^2)]^0.5  

the magnitude is approximately 7.9 m  

tan θ = y/x = 0.6/-7.9  

the angle is approximately 4.3˚ north of west
