Answer and Explanation:

Given : Five males with an X-linked genetic disorder have one child each. The random variable x is the number of children among the five who inherit the X-linked genetic disorder.

To find :

a. Does the table show a probability distribution?

b. Find the mean and standard deviation of the random variable x.

Solution :

a) To determine that table shows a probability distribution we add up all six probabilities if the sum is 1 then it is a valid distribution.

$\sum P(X)=0.029+0.147+0.324+0.324+0.147+0.029$

$\sum P(X)=1$

Yes it is a probability distribution.

b) First we create the table as per requirements,

x P(x) xP(x) x² x²P(x)

0 0.029 0 0 0

1 0.147 0.147 1 0.147

2 0.324 0.648 4 1.296

3 0.324 0.972 9 2.916

4 0.147 0.588 16 2.352

5 0.029 0.145 25 0.725

∑P(x)=1 ∑xP(x)=2.5 ∑x²P(x)=7.436

The mean of the random variable is

$\mu=\sum xP(x)=2.5$

The standard deviation of the random sample is

$Variance=\sigma^2$

$\sigma^2=\sum x^2P(x)-\mu^2$

$\sigma^2=7.436-(2.5)^2$

$\sigma^2=7.436-6.25$

$\sigma^2=1.186$

$\sigma=\sqrt{1.186}$

$\sigma=1.08$

Therefore, The mean is 2.5 and the standard deviation is 1.08.

Answer from: Quest

$r(x)=-\frac{1}{50}x^2+14x$

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

$x=200,p=10$

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

$m=-\frac{1}{50}$

now, we can use point slope form of line

$p(x)=mx+b$

now, we can plug values

$p(x)=-\frac{1}{50}x+b$

we can use point

$x=200,p=10$

and find b

$10=-\frac{1}{50}\times 200+b$

$10=-4+b$

$b=14$

now, we can plug it back

and we get

$p(x)=-\frac{1}{50}x+14$

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get

$r(x)=x\times p(x)$

$r(x)=x\times (-\frac{1}{50}x+14)$

$r(x)=-\frac{1}{50}x^2+14x$

Which of the following statements are true? (select all that apply.) a quasi-static process is one in which the system is never far from being in equilibrium. when a system can go from state 1 to state 2 by several different processes, the amount of heat absorbed by the system will be the same for all processes. the internal energy of a given amount of an ideal gas depends only on its absolute temperature. when a system can go from state 1 to state 2 by several different processes, the work done on the system will be the same for all processes. when a system can go from state 1 to state 2 by several different processes, the change in the internal energy of the system will be the same for all processes. for any substance that expands when heated, its cp is greater than its cv.
