The answer is 067.

It takes an even number of steps for the object to reach (2,2), so the number of steps the object may have taken is either 4 or 6 .

If the object took 4 steps, then it must have gone two steps $\mathrm{N}$ and two steps E, in some permutation. There are $\frac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !}=6$ ways for these four steps of occuring, and the probability is $\frac{6}{4^{4}}$.

If the object took 6 steps, then it must have gone two steps N and two steps E, and an additional pair of moves that would cancel out, either N / S or W/E. The sequences N, N, N, E, E, S can be permuted in $\frac{6 !}{3 ! 2 ! 1 !}=60$ ways. However, if the first four steps of the sequence are N, N, E, E in some permutation, it would have already reached the point (2,2) in four moves. There are $\frac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !}$ ways to order those four steps and $2 !$ ways to determine the order of the remaining two steps, for a total of 12 sequences that we have to exclude. This gives $60-12=48$ sequences of steps. There are the same number of sequences for the steps N, N, E, E, E, W, so the probability here is $\frac{2 \times 48}{4^{6}}$.

The total probability is $\frac{6}{4^{4}}+\frac{96}{4^{6}}=\frac{3}{64}$, and $m+n=067$.

What is probability?

  • Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is a mathematical discipline that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value ranges from zero to one.
  • Probability has been introduced in mathematics to predict the likelihood of occurrences occurring. Probability is defined as the degree to which something is likely to occur.
  • This is the fundamental probability theory, which is also utilized in probability distribution, in which you will learn about the possible results of a random experiment.
  • To determine the likelihood of a particular event occurring, we must first determine the total number of alternative possibilities.

D divided by 4 plus 12 = 20<br> show steps<br> what is d
tester [92]

Answer:

d=32!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

So first rewrite it as an equation: d/4+12=20

d/4+12=20 then subtract 12 from both sides to balance the equation

d/4=8 so multply both sides by 4  to isolate the variable, 4(d/4)=d =d and 8x4=32, so d=32

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=-2x+5

To find:

The inverse of the given function, then draw the graphs of function and its inverse.

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=-2x+5

Step 1: Substitute f(x)=y .

y=-2x+5

Step 2: Interchange x and y.

x=-2y+5

Step 3: Isolate variable y.

2y=5-x

y=\dfrac{5-x}{2}

Step 4: Substitute y=g(x).

g(x)=\dfrac{5-x}{2}

Hence, the inverse of the given function is g(x)=\dfrac{5-x}{2} and the graphs of these functions are shown below.

If a → b is true, then ~a → b is also true.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether the statemaent "If a\Rightarrow b is true, then \neg a\Rightarrow b is also true" holds, you can form the truth table:

\begin{array}{ccccc}a&b&a\Rightarrow b&\neg a&\neg a\Rightarrow b\\1&1&1&0&1\\1&0&0&0&1\\0&1&1&1&1\\0&0&1&1&0\end{array}

When the result of the column a\Rightarrow b takes value 1 (true), the result of the column  \neg a\Rightarrow b is not always 1, then the statement is false.
