Determine the mean and variance of the random variable with the following probability mass function. f(x) = (216/43)(1/6)^x, x = 1, 2, 3 Round your answers to three decimal places (e. g. 98.765). Mean = Variance =

The mean of function provided is 1.186.

The variance of the provided f(x) is 0.198

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that the probability mass function is,

f(x)= (214/43)×(1/6)ˣ; x=1,2,3

The mean is calculated as,

E(X)=∑  x × f(x)

        x

=1×(216/43)×(1/6)¹ + 2 × (216/43)×(1/6)² × 3 × (216/43)×(1/6)³

=36/43 + 12/43  +3/43

 =1.186

The mean of function provided is 1.186

The expected value of the probability mass function,f(x)= (216/43×(1/6)ˣ

 is 1.1861.186 .

Step 2 of 2

To calculate the variance, first calculate  E(X²)=∑ x² × f(x)

= 1² ×(216/43) × (1/6)¹ + 2² × (216/43) × (1/6)² × 3² × (216/43) ×(1/6)³

=36/43 +24/43 +9/43

=1.605

The variance is calculated as,

V(X) =E(X²) - [E(X)]²

=1.605 -(1.186)²

= 0.198

The variance of the provided f(x) is 0.198

The variance of function f(x)=(216/43) × (1/6)ˣ ; x =1,2,3 is 0.198

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
