Show that a discrete metric on a vector space X≠{0} cannot be obtained from a norm (the pair (X,d) is called the discrete metric

space if the metric is d(x,x)=0, d(x,y)=1 for x≠y).

You know that the discrete metric only takes values of 1 and 0. Now suppose it comes from some norm ||.||. Then for any α in the underlying field of your vector space and x,y∈X, you must have that

∥α(x−y)∥=|α|∥x−y∥.

But now ||x−y|| is a fixed number and I can make α arbitrarily large and consequently the discrete metric does not come from any norm on X.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

The lengths of a particular snake are approximately normally distributed with a given mean mu = 15 in. and standard deviation si
Helga [31]

The percentage of the snakes is longer than 16.6 in. with a mean of 15 in. and a standard deviation of 0.8 in. is 2.275%.

<h3>What is a normal distribution?</h3>

It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.

The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.

The lengths of a particular snake are approximately normally distributed with a given mean = 15 in. and standard deviation = 0.8 in.

Then the percentage of the snakes is longer than 16.6 in. will be

z = \dfrac{ x - \mu }{ \sigma }\\\\z = \dfrac{16.6-15}{0.8}\\\\z = 2

Then we have

\rm P(x > 16.6) = P(z > 2) = 0.02275  \ or  \ 2.275 \%

More about the normal distribution link is given below.

Estimate the product of 126.12 and 2.2.
kifflom [539]
Product means the answer/result to a multiplication problem

Estimate means to form an approximation/ rough guess

126.12 x 2.2 = 277.464

This answer, 277.464, is the exact product

Its wanting us to find the estimate (there could be possible estimates, depending on what the instructions is asking for):

- 277
- 280
- 300

6 times because you find the common denominator which is 8 so 3/4 is 6/8. He needs to fill his cup 6 times.
