Hi there!

The correct answer is 6.25 times.

This is how you get there:

1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm

2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25

If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.

I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!

The joint probability mass function of XX and YY is given by p(1,1)=0p(2,1)=0.1p(3,1)=0.05p(1,2)=0.05p(2,2)=0.3p(3,2)=0.1p(1,3)=

Answer:

P(Y=1|X=3)=0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

p(1,1)=0

p(2,1)=0.1

p(3,1)=0.05

p(1,2)=0.05

p(2,2)=0.3

p(3,2)=0.1

p(1,3)=0.05

p(2,3)=0.1

p(3,3)=0.25

Now we are supposed to find the conditional mass function of Y given X=3 : P(Y=1|X=3)

P(X=3) = P(X=3,Y=1)+P(X=3,Y=2) +P(X=3,Y=3)

P(X=3)=p(3,1) +p(3,2) +p(3,3)

P(X=3)=0.05+0.1+0.25=0.4

$P(Y=1|X=3)=\frac{P(X=3,Y=1)}{P(X=3)} =\frac{p(3,1)}{P(X=3)}=\frac{0.05}{0.4}= 0.125$

Hence P(Y=1|X=3)=0.125

Xp+yp=z solve for the variable p

anastassius [24]

Use the distributive property backwards.
xp+yp=z become p(x+y)=x, which solves to p=x/(x+y)
