Answer:

Yes they are directly proportional quantities.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the area of a square by;

A = length squared or (L)² , where 'L' stands for length and 'A' stands for area.

So Area = L²

Assume the length is a units and increase the length by 2 units

The initial area before increasing the length is a²

After increasing the length, the area becomes: (a + 2)² = a² + 4a + 4

Now we subtract the initial area from the final area and get;

(a² + 4a + 4) - a² = 4a + 4

So the new area increases by 4a + 4 units.

Hence, the area increases as the length increases implying that the area of a square is directly proportional to its length.

We denote this proportionality as;

A ∝ L

Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fract

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$P(X = 0) = 0.03125$

$P(X = 1) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 2) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 3) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 4) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 5) = 0.03125$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so $p = 0.5$

5 tosses:

This means that $n = 5$

Probability distribution:

Probability of each outcome, so:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.3125$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.15625$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125$

Jeff's mother gave him money. he used an equal amount of money each day. at the end of the 7th day, he was left with 1/4 of how

skelet666 [1.2K]

Jeff received 280$ from his mother

Such questions are the simplest as it needs you to just write the conditions accordingly which then simplifies and provides you the answer.

This question can be solved using two tricks which are shown below:-

Trick 1 :

1 – 1/4 = 3/4 (used for the 1st 7 days)

1/4 – 410 (used for 8th and 9th days)

(3/4)/7 ——- (1/4 – 10)/2

(3/4) x (2/7) = 3/14 ——- (1/4 – 10)

1/4 – 3/14 = (7 – 6)/28 = 1/28 ——- 10

28/28 ——- 10 x 28 =$ 280

Trick 2 :

7 days ——- 3/4

1 day ——- 3/28

2 days ——- 6/28

6/28 ——- (1/4 – 10) = 7/28 – 410

1/28 ——- 10

28/28 ——- 10 x 28 = $280

Thus Jeff received 280$ from his mother.
