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}}

Part A: Find the GCF of 56 and 96. It is 8, already did this
enot [183]

Question: Part A: Find the GCF of 56 and 96. It is 8, already did this

Part B: Using the GCF you found in Part A, rewrite 56 + 96 as two factors. One factor is the GCF and the other is the sum of two numbers that do not have a common factor. Show your work.

Answer & explanation: Quick-Start Guide. When you enter an expression into the calculator, the calculator will simplify the expression by expanding multiplication and combining like terms.

Round each factor to the nearest ten to estimate the product of 34 . 39
aev [14]

Answer:

Round 34 down to 30 then round 39 up to 40

Step-by-step explanation:

34 ⟶ 30 34 is rounded down to 30

39 ⟶ 40 39 rounded up to 40

34 ⟶ 30

39 ⟶ 40

34 is rounded down to 30

39 rounded up to 40

Calculate mentally 34 × 39 =  1326

The estimated product is 1326.
