Answer : P(second resistor is 100ω , given that the first resistor is 50ω) is given by

\frac{1}{5}

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Total number of resistors =15

Number of resistors labelled with 50ω = 12

Number of resistors labelled with 100ω =3

Let A: Event getting resistor with 50ω

B: Event getting resistor with 100ω

Since A and B are independent events .

So,

P(A\cap B)=P(A).P(B)

Now, According to question , we can get that

P(A)= \frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}\\\\P(B)=\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}

So,

P(A\cap B)=P(A).P(B)\\\\P(A\cap B)=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{1}{5}\\\\P(A\cap B)=\frac{4}{25}

So, by using the conditional probability , which state that

P(B\mid A)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}

P(B\mid A)=\frac{\frac{4}{25}}{\frac{4}{5}}\\\\P(B\mid A)=\frac{5}{25}\\\\P(B\mid A)=\frac{1}{5}

So, P(second resistor is 100ω , given that the first resistor is 50ω) is given by

\frac{1}{5}

The graph of y=f(x) is the solid black graph below. Which function represents the dotted graph?
Fed [463]

Answer:   y = f(x - 4) - 1, lower left corner

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's focus on only the left-most points of each curve

For the black semicircle, the left-most point is located at (-7,0). The corresponding point on the red semicircle is at (-3,-1)

To go from (-7,0) to (-3,-1), we will do two things

  • Shift 4 units to the right
  • Shift 1 unit down

This can be done in any order. The action of "shift 4 units to the right" is effectively the same as shifting the xy axis 4 units to the left while keeping the curves fixed in place. This gives the illusion of movement. When we shift 4 the xy axis 4 units to the left, we're replacing each x input with x-4 as the new input.

In short, we go from f(x) to f(x-4). This is why we have this opposite motion going on.

The up and down motion is fairly straight forward. To shift 1 unit down, we subtract off 1. This is to subtract 1 from the y coordinate.

Overall, we go from y = f(x) to y = f(x - 4) - 1

Applying this transformation will move (-7,0) to (-3,-1) as described above. It will also move every other point on the black curve to their new corresponding location on the red curve.
