If f(x) is a function and f(1) = 5, then which of the following could not be true?

1 answer:

8 0

The choice a could not be true because the value of f(1) is already equal to 5. Therefore, the value of f(1) cannot be 1. This is one of the properties of a function that for every value of x, there should be only one corresponding value of y.

I have 100 items of product in stock. The probability mass function for the product's demand D is P(D=90)=P(D=100)=P(D=110)=1/3.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The probability mass function for the items sold is

$P_X(k) = \left \{ {\frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=90} \atop \, \frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=100}} \right.$

The mean is 96.667

The variance is 22.222

b) The probability mass function for the unfilled demand due to lack of stock is

$P_Y(k) = \left \{ {\frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=0} \atop \, \frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=10}} \right.$

The mean is 3.333

The variance is 33.333

Step-by-step explanation:

If the demand is higher than 100, then you will sell 100 items only. Thus, there is a probability of 1/3+1/3 = 2/3 that you will sell 100 items, while there is a probability of 1/3 that you will sell 90.

The probability mass function for the items sold is

$P_X(k) = \left \{ {\frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=90} \atop \, \frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=100}} \right.$

The mean is 1/3 * 90 + 2/3 * 100 = 290/3 = 96.667

The variance is V(X) = E(X²)-E(X)² = (1/3*90² + 2/3*100²) - (290/3)² = 200/9 = 22.222

b) If order to be unfilled demand, you need to have a demand of 110, which happens with probability 1/3. In that case, the value of the variable, lets call it Y, that counts the amount of unfilled demand due to lack of stock is 110-100 = 10. In any other case, the value of Y is 0, which would happen with probability 1-1/3 = 2/3. Thus

$P_Y(k) = \left \{ {\frac{2}{3} \, \, \, {k=0} \atop \, \frac{1}{3} \, \, \, {k=10}} \right.$

The mean is 2/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 10 = 10/3 = 3.333

The variance is 2/3*0² + 1/3*10² = 100/3 = 33.333

Gala2k [10]

7.5 mph in 3 hours the train can travel 22.5 miles. Take 2.5 and times it by 3 to get the mph, then multiply that answer by 3 again to get the total miles in 3 hours

How do you prove a theorem?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Identify the assumptions and goals of the theorem. Understand the implications of each of the assumptions made. Translate them into mathematical definitions if you can. Make an assumption about what you are trying to prove and show that it leads to a proof or a contradiction.

A sample of students was asked what political party do they belong. which of the following types of graphical display would be a

inna [77]

Answer:

B. Pie chart.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the students are asked what political party they belong. The best display format would be one in which the graph can be divided into parts, or percents, according to the percentage of students belonging to each political party. The graph that best describes this, distributing a group into parts, is a pie chart, and thus, the correct answer is given by option b.

Scatterplot is used when two variables correlate together, that is, there is a relationship between them, which we don't have between the number, or proportion of students belonging to each political party. Stemplot are used when there is a high number of quantitative data, which we do not have here.
