This graph represents a function because it passes the vertical line test (option B)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Function is a relation which each member of the domain is mapped onto exactly one member of the codomain.

There are many types of functions in mathematics such as :

<em>Linear Function → f(x) = ax + b</em>

<em>Quadratic Function → f(x) = ax² + bx + c</em>
<em>Trigonometric Function → f(x) = sin x or f(x) = cos x or f(x) = tan x</em>
<em>Logarithmic function → f(x) = ln x</em>
<em>Polynomial function → f(x) = axⁿ + bxⁿ⁻¹ + ...</em>

If function f : x → y , then inverse function f⁻¹ : y → x

Let us now tackle the problem!

One of the condition for a relation to be a function is that it has to pass the vertical line test. The test is done by drawing several vertical lines on the graph. If all the vertical lines drawn never intersect the curve more than one point, then this curve is said to have passed the vertical line test.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7)?

Stells [14]

Answer: The slope of the line is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Then, given the points $(-3, 5)$ and $(1, 7)$ , you can identify that:

$y_2=5\\y_1=7\\\\x_2=-3\\x_1=1$

Knowing these values you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope:

$m=\frac{5-7}{-3-1}$

Finally, evaluating, you get that the slope of that line is:

$m=\frac{-2}{-4}\\\\m=\frac{1}{2}$

pychu [463]

Answer:

a) $P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.75)^0 (1-0.75)^{4-0}=0.0039$

$P(X=1)=(4C1)(0.75)^1 (1-0.75)^{4-1}=0.0469$

$P(X=2)=(4C2)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-2}=0.211$

$P(X=3)=(4C3)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-3}=0.422$

$P(X=4)=(4C4)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-4}=0.316$

b) $E(X) = np = 4*0.75=3$

c) $Sd(X) =\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{4*0.75*(1-0.75)}=0.866$

d) $P(X \geq 3) \geq 0.98$

And the dsitribution that satisfy this is $X\sim Binom(n=9,p=0.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=1-0.25=0.75)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.75)^0 (1-0.75)^{4-0}=0.0039$

$P(X=1)=(4C1)(0.75)^1 (1-0.75)^{4-1}=0.0469$

$P(X=2)=(4C2)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-2}=0.211$

$P(X=3)=(4C3)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-3}=0.422$

$P(X=4)=(4C4)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-4}=0.316$

Part b

The expected value is givn by:

$E(X) = np = 4*0.75=3$

Part c

For the standard deviation we have this:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{4*0.75*(1-0.75)}=0.866$

Part d

For this case the sample size needs to be higher or equal to 9. Since we need a value such that:

$P(X \geq 3) \geq 0.98$

And the dsitribution that satisfy this is $X\sim Binom(n=9,p=0.75$

We can verify this using the following code:

"=1-BINOM.DIST(3,9,0.75,TRUE)" and we got 0.99 and the condition is satisfied.
