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}}

Answer:

  • y = -2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solve for y:</u>

  • 2x + y = 7

Add - 2x to both sides

  • 2x + y - 2x = 7 - 2x
  • y = 7 - 2x

or

  • y = -2x + 7

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the endpoints<br> (16,5) &amp; (28, -13)
BARSIC [14]
To determine the coordinates of the midpoints of a line segment, get the average of the both the abscissas and ordinates. In this example, the average of the abscissas is 22 and that of the ordinates is -4. Thus, the midpoint is (22, -4).
