Answer:

a) We need to check two conditions:

1) \sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1

0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1

2) P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) P(C \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C

c) P(C=0) = 0.05

d) For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probability distribution given:

C    0        1        2         3       4       5        6       7        8      

P  0.05   0.14   0.34   0.24  0.11  0.07  0.02  0.02  0.01

And we assume the following questions:

a) Verify that this is a probability distribution

We need to check two conditions:

1) \sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1

0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1

2) P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has at least one child

For this case we want this probability:

P(C \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C

c) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has no children

For this case we want this probability:

P(C=0) = 0.05

d) Look at the answers for parts b and c and explain their relationship

For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.

6. If m∠COD=8x+13, m∠BOC=3x-10, and m∠BOD=12x-6, find m∠BOD
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m∠COD=8x+13,

m∠BOC=3x-10, and

m∠BOD=12x-6

The following addition property is true;

<BOD = <BOC + <COD

Substitute

12x-6 = 3x-10+8x+13

12x-6 = 11x+3

12x-11x = 3+6

x = 9

Get <BOD

<BOD = 12x-6

<BOD = 12(9)-6

<BOD = 108-6

<BOD = 102°

Given the polynomial 2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form?2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 16
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162

We factor 2 to obtain;

f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)

f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)

We now compare to;

f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)

It is now obvious that k=3

A tablet weighs 1.23 pounds. What is its weight written as a mixed number?
garik1379 [7]
If a tablet weighs 1.23 pounds, the weight written as a mixed number would be, 1 as the whole number and 23 is in the hundreds place, so you would write, 1 and 23/100.
