Answer: 1.7 feet. Step-by-step explanation: We assume the goal is to find 'A', and that individuals are positioned shoulder-to-shoulder. Therefore, (327,495 miles)/(10^9 persons) equals (3.27495 × 10^5 miles)/(10^9 persons) multiplied by (5280 ft/miles), leading to = 1.7291736 × 10^9 ft/(10^9 persons), resulting in 1.7292736 ft/person, approximately 1.7 ft/person.

babunello [11817]

Answer:

(b)E(x)=1.3087

(c)Variance of x =1.7119

(d)E(y)=2.0447

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable x refers to the average number of cups of coffee consumed daily.

The total number of respondents equals 1014

(a) Probability distribution for x.

\left|\begin{array}{c|cccccc}x&0&1&2&3&4\\\\P(x)&\dfrac{365}{1014}&\dfrac{264}{1014}&\dfrac{193}{1014}&\dfrac{91}{1014}&\dfrac{101}{1014} \end{array}\right|

(b) Expected value for x

E(x)=\left(0\times\dfrac{365}{1014}\left)+\left(1\times\dfrac{264}{1014}\left)+\left(2\times\dfrac{193}{1014}\left)+\left(3\times\dfrac{91}{1014}\left)+\left(4\times\dfrac{101}{1014}\right)

E(x)=1.3087

(c) Variance for x

Variance =\sum (x-\mu)^2P(x)

\left|\begin{array}{c|cccccc}x&0&1&2&3&4\\(x-\mu)^2&1.7167&0.0953&0.4779&2.8605&7.2431\\\\P(x)&\dfrac{365}{1014}&\dfrac{264}{1014}&\dfrac{193}{1014}&\dfrac{91}{1014}&\dfrac{101}{1014} \\\\(x-\mu)^2P(x)&0.6179&0.0248&0.0910&0.2567&0.7215\end{array}\right|

Variance, \sum (x-\mu)^2P(x)=1.7119

(d)

\left|\begin{array}{c|cccccc}y&1&2&3&4\\\\P(y)&\dfrac{264}{649}&\dfrac{193}{649}&\dfrac{91}{649}&\dfrac{101}{649} \end{array}\right|

E(y)=\left(1\times\dfrac{264}{649}\left)+\left(2\times\dfrac{193}{649}\left)+\left(3\times\dfrac{91}{649}\left)+\left(4\times\dfrac{101}{649}\right)

E(y)=2.0447

The expected value for y surpasses that of x.

A building casts a shadow 25 m long. At the same time, the shadow cast by a 44-cm tall pole is 59 cm long. Find the height of th
Inessa [12570]

In order to solve this, we will use proportions. The first step involves converting centimeters to meters by applying dimensional analysis:

\frac{44\ cm}{1}*\frac{0.01\ m}{1\ cm}=\frac{0.44}{1}=0.44\ m

\frac{59\ cm}{1}*\frac{0.01\ m}{1\ cm}=\frac{0.59}{1}=0.59\ m

Once everything is expressed in meters, we can set up the proportions accordingly. Our proportion becomes \frac{x}{25} =\frac{0.44}{0.59}

First, we perform cross-multiplication: 0.59x=11

Then, by dividing both sides by 0.59, we arrive at x = 18.6 m, or D.

If PR = 4x – 2 and RS = 3x – 5, which expression represents PS?
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

PS = 7x- 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Straight Line, PS

Where

PR = 4x -2

RS = 3x - 5

Required

Determine PS

The image provided shows that RS extends from PS;

This means

PS = PR + RS

Plugging in PR = 4x -2 and RS = 3x - 5

PS = 4x - 2 + 3x - 5

Combine like terms

PS = 4x + 3x- 2 - 5

PS = 7x- 7

Therefore, the length of PS is PS = 7x- 7
