Alice and Bob each choose at random a number between zero and two. We assume a uniform probability law under which the probabili

ty of an event is proportional to its area. Consider the following events:
A: The magnitude of the difference of the two numbers is greater than 1/3.
B: At least one of the numbers is greater than 1/3.
C: The two numbers are equal.
D: Alice's number is greater than 1/3.

Find the probabilities P(A), P(B), P(C) and P(D).

Answer / Step-by-step explanation:

Before we start to answer this question, it would be nice to understand some basic definition and principles:

Random: This refers to an unpredictable pattern of arrangement.  Without a specific aim or logical procedural pattern.

Uniform Probability distribution: This is a type of probability distribution in which the outcomes of distribution irrespective of the pattern or distance results in equally likely outcomes.

Uniform distribution is one of the widely used distributions although it's one of the simplest ones. The idea behind this distribution is that, unlike the other distributions, the likelihood of the any outcome in the distribution range is the same.

Now that we have a brief knowledge of the key terms within the question, hence, to start answering the question,

(a) Starting with 0 for Alice, Bob can choose any number starting from   1 /  3 . As Alice increases, Bob has to increase his starting point as well. Therefore, after Alice passes  1 /  3 , Bob can start choosing numbers from 0. This creates 2 triangles with sides  1  / 3 . The area of them gives us the probability.

Therefore, : P = 2 ( 1/3 1/3 1/3)

                        = 4/9

(b) We can find the probability of having both the numbers less than  1  / 3 . Then we subtract this probability from 1.

We have: P = 1 - 1/3 . 1/3

                     = 8/9

(c) This is basically impossible as the area of a dot is negligible.

(d) It means that Alice needs to select a number between  1  / 3  and 1.

Therefore: P = 1 - 1 /3

                    = 2 / 3

Answer:

$690.86

Step-by-step explanation:

100% from the original cost is: 2 x 863.57 = $1,727.14

40/100 = X/1727.14 (40 percent is what of 1,727.40) (%/100 = is/of)

(40 * 1,727.14) / 100 = $ 690.86

Complete the chart to find the mean,variance,and standard deviation. 45 340 400 825
hoa [83]

Answer:

<u>A. Mean =  402.5</u>

<u>B. Variance = 77,556.25</u>

<u>C. Standard Deviation =  278.49</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the mean, variance and standard deviation of the set of numbers given:

A. Mean = (45 + 340 + 400 + 825)/4 = 1,610/4 =<u> 402.5</u>

B. Variance [(45 - 402.5)² + (340 - 402.5)² + (400 - 402.5)² + (825 - 402.5)²]/4 =  [(127,806.25 + 3,906.25 +6.25 + 178,506.25/4 =<u> </u><u>77,556.25</u>

C. Standard Deviation = √Variance = √77,556.25 =<u> 278.49</u>

Mutations can happen because of damage by environmental factors, such as radiation and chemicals. Viruses may also cause DNA damage. Mutation can also occur during DNA replication due to errors. When DNA is changed the protein it codes may become non-functional or it may change its shape. Some genes control other genes. For example, the Hox genes are responsible for controlling other genes during development. They specify where the head, body and legs may be located, and also where where your nose, ears and eyes are located on your head. A mutation in the Hox genes, for example, may cause big changes, for example, a wing that grows out of the eyes of a fruit fly is due to a mutation in the Hox gene. Hox genes do not tell how wings are formed, just where it may be formed. If a gene that controls the development of the wing or legs or nose has a mutation then it may change the shape of the wing, leg, or nose.

<span> There are also some genes that do not govern the development of body parts, but they nevertheless have influence on traits. For example, the genes that govern the manufacture of eumelanin, if they malfunction, may result in such traits as light skin, blue eyes, and/or blond hair, because eumelanin is the pigment that gives hair, skin and eyes their dark brown to black color. An albino African, for example, will have light skin and even blue eyes and blond hair, because his/her genes for manufacturing eumelanin is defective. Some other genes control other traits but their effects are not as visible. For example, a mutation in some people's genes make them resistant to the HIV virus and the Bubonic plague, but such a trait is not visible from the outside.</span>
