A fair coin is flipped three times. Let X be the number of heads observed. (a) Give both the possible values and probability mass function of X. (b) Find P(X ≥ 1) and P(X > 1). (c) Compute E[X] and V ar(X).

Answers

Answer:

a)

The possible values are 0, 1, 2 and 3.

The probability mass function of X is:

P(X = 0) = 0.125

P(X = 1) = 0.375

P(X = 2) = 0.375

P(X = 3) = 0.125

b)

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 0.875[/tex], [tex]P(X > 1) = 0.5[/tex]

c) E(X) = 1.5, Var(X) = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

For it time the coin is flipped, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it comes up heads, or it comes up tails. Each toss is independent of other tosses. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The variance of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]V(X) = np(1-p)[/tex]

A fair coin is flipped three times.

This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

Fair coin means that it is equally as likely to be heads or tails, so [tex]p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

a) Give both the possible values and probability mass function of X.

The possible values are from 0 to n, so 0, 1, 2 and 3.

The probability mass function is the probability of each outcome. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.375[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.375[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.125[/tex]

(b) Find P(X ≥ 1) and P(X > 1).

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.375 + 0.375 + 0.125 = 0.875[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 1) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.375 + 0.125 = 0.5[/tex]

(c) Compute E[X] and Var(X).

[tex]E(X) = np = 3*0.5 = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Var(X) = np(1-p) = 3*0.5*0.5 = 0.75[/tex]

Clark typed 720 words in 18 minutes. How many words can he type in one minute?​

Answers

Answer:

Clark can type 40 words in one minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion: [tex]\frac{720}{18} = \frac{x}{1}[/tex]  Cross multiply, then divide: 720 × 1 = 720, 720 ÷ 18 = 40So, x = 40

Consider the numbers z= 2 + 5i, w = -3- 2i, and u=-1+2i.
z+w is equal to -1+vi
w-u is equal to - 4i
u + w is equal to -4 -

Answers

Answer:

3, 2, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

trust me

The resultant value of vectors are:

1. z + w = -1 + 3i.

2. w - u= -4 - 4i

3. u + w = -4.

Given:

z = 2 + 5i

w = -3 - 2i

u = -1 + 2i

1. z + w:

Adding the real and imaginary parts separately gives

(2 + 5i) + (-3 - 2i) = (2 - 3) + (5 - 2)i

                          = -1 + 3i

Therefore, z + w is equal to -1 + 3i.

2. w - u:

Subtracting the real and imaginary parts separately gives

(-3 - 2i) - (-1 + 2i) = (-3 + 1) + (-2 - 2)i

                          = -4 - 4i

Therefore, w - u is equal to -4 - 4i.

3. u + w:

Adding the real and imaginary parts separately gives

(-1 + 2i) + (-3 - 2i) = (-1 - 3) + (2 - 2)i

                           = -4

Therefore, u + w is equal to -4.

Simplify the rational Expression

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x^2+2x}{x-3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor out numerator and denominator in order to simplify the rational expression by cancelling  common factors.

Numerator :  x^3 - 4 x = x (x^2 - 4) = x (x - 2) (x + 2)

Denominator (factoring by grouping):

x^2 - 5 x + 6 = x^2 - 3 x - 2 x + 6 = x (x - 3) - 2 (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x - 2)

Then we can cancel out the common factor (x - 2) in both numerator and denominator, leading to:

x (x + 2) / (x - 3) = (x^2 + 2)/ (x-3)

Answers

Answer:

Surface area = 207 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface are of triangular prism = 2×BA + P × H

Base Area (BA) = ½*bh

b = 8 cm

h = 9 cm

BA = ½*8*9 = 36 cm²

Perimeter of triangular base (P) = 8 + 9 + 10 = 27 cm

Height for prism (H) = 5 cm

Surface area = 2 × 36 + 27 × 5 = 72 + 135
