Answer:

P(k) = \frac{\binom{N}{k} \binom{(M+N) - N}{r-k}}{\binom{M+N}{r}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the string as a hypergeometric distribution, as each bit has two possible values, 1 or 0, and the chance of a 1 or 0 changes with every bit, as there are a finite number M of 0's and N of 1's and every bit takes one of those values.

If M+N (total size of the string) >> r (number of trials), we could model it as a binomial distribution as the probability of a 1 or 0 wouldn't change in a significant amount with every bit, but as we don't know the magnitude of M+N and r, we follow up with hypergeometric distribution.

The distribution has the following formula for probability:

P(k) = \frac{\binom{K}{k} \binom{N - K}{n-k}}{\binom{N}{n}}

Where k is the number of sucesses, K is how many total sucess states are in the population, N is the population size and n is the number of draws.

For our case, a 1 would be a sucess, i.e. k the number of 1's we want to know the probability, N our total number of 1's, M+N the length of the string (population size) and we want to analyse what happens in the first r bits (number of draws):

P(k) = \frac{\binom{N}{k} \binom{(M+N) - N}{r-k}}{\binom{M+N}{r}}

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Shirt-$19

Cap-$24

Step-by-step explanation:

5s+1c=119

1s+1c=43

1c=43-1s

substitute:

5s+(43-1s)=119

5s+43-1s=119

4s=119-43

4s=76

1s=19

substitute:

1c=43-(19)

1c=24

translate the words into a algebraic expression. "twenty-seven more than a number squared" "one less than three times a number"
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

n^2+27 and 3n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

n is a number.

a number squared is n^2

27 more than a number squared is n^2+27

n is a number.

three times a number is 3 times n, or 3n

one less than that is 3n-1

Hope this answer helped! :)
