Answer:

(A) y - x

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding a:

ax + x² = y² - ay
ax + ay = y² - x²
a(x+y)= (y+x)(y-x)
a = y - x

Correct choice is (A)

A computer program contains one error. In order to find the error, we split the program into 6 blocks and test two of them, sele

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

There are $\dbinom62$ ways of selecting two of the six blocks at random. The probability that one of them contains an error is

$\dfrac{\dbinom11\dbinom51}{\dbinom62}=\dfrac5{15}=\dfrac13$

So $X$ has probability mass function

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac13&\text{for }x=1\\\\\dfrac23&\text{for }x=0\end{cases}$

These are the only two cases since there is only one error known to exist in the code; any two blocks of code chosen at random must either contain the error or not.

The expected value of finding an error is then

$\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^1xf_X(x)=0\times\dfrac23+1\times\dfrac13=\dfrac13$
