A computer sends a packet of information along a channel and waits for a return signal acknowledging that the packet has been re

ceived. If no acknowledgment is received within a certain time, the packet is re-sent.
Let X represent the number of times the packet is sent. Assume that the probability mass function of X is given by
p(x)={ cx for x=1,2,3,4, or 5
{ 0 otherwise
where c is a constant.
Find P(X = 2).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a computer sends a packet of information along a channel and waits for a return signal acknowledging that the packet has been received. If no acknowledgment is received within a certain time, the packet is re-sent

Let X represent the number of times the packet is sent. Assume that the probability mass function of X is given by

p(x)={ cx for x=1,2,3,4, or 5

{ 0 otherwise

where c is a constant.

Let us write pdf as follows

x             1              2            3            4           5              Total

p             c             2c           3c         4c         5c              15c

Since total probability = 1

we get

c=\frac{1}{15}

P(X=2)=2c = \frac{2}{15}

Four lines are drawn on a coordinate plane to form trapezoid WXYZ. Which statements are true about the lines? Select all that ap
Anastaziya [24]

Given a trapezoid WXYZ. In a trapezoid one pair of opposite sides are parallel .Parallel lines have same slope.Slope of line parallel to x axis is 0.If the line starts at the bottom left and goes towards the top right it has negative slope.

All that is true for Trapezoid WXYZ are:

Line WZ has the same slope as line XY.

Line XW has a lesser slope than line YZ.

Line ZW has the same y-intercept as line WZ.

Line XY has a greater y-intercept
