Say there is a shuttle that has 4 seats (it can carry only 4 passengers at most). The shuttle driver has sold 5 tickets to ride the shuttle (to 5 people). Define X to be the random variable of the number of people with tickets that show up to ride the shuttle. The probability mass function (pmf) of X is as follows:x 0 1 2 3 4 5P(X = x) = f(x) 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.1a. Verify that f(x) is a valid probability mass function. b. Find the probability that the shuttle will be able to accommodate all ticketed people that show up (remember the shuttle can only hold 4 people).c. Say you are the 1st person on the wait list to get on the shuttle (that is to say if less than 4 people with tickets show up, you get a seat). What is the probability that you will be able to board the shuttle?d. Compute the expectation and variance of X. e. What is the expected value of 200X − 100?f. What is expected value of X2 ?

In one day there are too high tides into low tides and equally spaced intervals the high tide is observed to be 6 feet above the average sea level after six hours passed a low tide occurs at 6 feet below the average sea level in this task you will model this occurrence using a trigonometric function by using x as a measurement of time assume the first high tide occurs at x=0. a. what are the independent and dependent variables? b. determine these key features of the function that models the tide: 1.amplitude 2.period 3.frequency 4.midline 5.vertical shift 6.phase shift c. create a trigonometric function that models the ocean tide for a period of 12 hours. d.what is the height of the tide after 93 hours?

Max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
