Answer:

In every equation, both sides equal the same thing; it always ends with both sides adding up to be equal. In a balance scale, both sides are also equal.

This is a continuous set of points in the coordinate plane. It can be, but is not always, straight.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Linear. While all linear equations produce straight lines when graphed, not all linear equations produce linear functions. In order to be a linear function, a graph must be both linear (a straight line) and a function (matching each x-value to only one y-value).

Consider two independent tosses of a fair coin. Let A be the event that the first toss results in heads, let B be the event that

aliina [53]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two independent tosses of a fair coin.

Sample space={HH,HT,TH,TT}

We have to find that A, B and C are pairwise independent.

According to question

A={HH,HT}

B={HH,TH}

C={TT,HH}

$A\cap B=$ {HH}

$B\cap C$ ={HH}

$A\cap C$ ={HH}

P(E)= $\frac{number\;of\;favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}$

Using the formula

Then, we get

Total number of cases=4

Number of favorable cases to event A=2

$P(A)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Number of favorable cases to event B=2

Number of favorable cases to event C=2

$P(B)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$P(C)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

If the two events A and B are independent then

$P(A)\cdot P(B)=P(A\cap B)$

$P(A\cap)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(B\cap C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A\cap C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A)\cdot P(B)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(B)\cdot P(C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A)\cdot P(C)=\frac{1}{4}$

$P(A)\cdot P(B)=P(A\cap B)$

Therefore, A and B are independent

$P(B)\cdot P(C)=P(B\cap C)$

Therefore, B and C are independent

$P(A\cap C)=P(A)\cdot P(C)$

Therefore, A and C are independent.

Hence, A, B and C are pairwise independent.

Describe the difference between parallel and perpendicular lines, their slopes and graphs

Aloiza [94]

Parallel lines have the same slopes (but different y intercepts). Parallel lines never cross. Parallel lines are the same distance from each other no matter where you are on either line. Think of it like a pair of perfectly straight railroad tracks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perpendicular lines cross at one point. The two lines form a 90 degree angle. The two slopes multiply to -1, which is another way of saying that the slopes are negative reciprocals of one another. For example, a line with a slope of 2/3 and another line with a slope of -3/2 has these two values multiply to -1; therefore showing they are perpendicular lines.
