- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardLet X be a random variable normally distributed with mean μx 1. Find the mean μy of Y. 2. Find the standard deviation oy of Y. 3. Find the PDF fy of Y and evaluate fy (5). (My, oy, fy (5)) = ___________). = 6 and standard deviation ox = 4. Let Y = 4X + 5.arrow_forwardThe variable X has the distribution Exp(5N), i.e. it has the PDF f(x)=5Ne5Nx for x>0. The variable N is in turn geometric distributed with the parameter p=1/2, i.e. P(N=n)=(1– 1/2)"-1(1/2) for n=1,2,... Determine P(X>3/5)arrow_forward
