Consider a collection of n individuals. . Assume that each person’s birthday is equally likely to be any of the 365 days of the

year and also that the birthdays are independent. For i < j, let Ai,j denote the event that persons i and j have the same birthday, and let X be the number of pairs of people whose birthdays are the same, i.e., the number of Ai,j that occur.(b) Compute E[X], and find the smallest value of n for which E[X] > 1. Describe in words what this means. (A sentence or two is fine.)

Consider the sequence of numbers: 3/8, 3/4, 1 /18, 1 1/2, 1 7/8
vredina [299]

Question:

Consider the sequence of numbers: \frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}

Which statement is a description of the sequence?

(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.

(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .

(C) The sequence is arithmetic, where each pair of terms has a constant difference of 3/4 .

(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.

Answer:

Option B:

The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8}  .

Explanation:

A sequence of numbers are

\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{9}{8}, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{15}{8}

To find the pattern of the sequence.

To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.

\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{9}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}=\frac{12}{8}-\frac{9}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{15}{8}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{12}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.

That means each term is obtained by adding \frac{3}{8} to the previous term.

Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8}  .

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation 1 = -2x + 3x2 + 1 into the quadratic
lidiya [134]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is to make sure our equation is in standard form. The given equation is not in standard form.

3x²-2x=0

Now that the equation is in standard form, we can find our A, B, C to see which quadratic equation is correct.

A=3

B=-2

C=0

We can automatically eliminate D because the first value is -3 when it is supposed to be -(-2). Also, the denominator is supposed to be 2a. We know that A=3. The denominator should be 2(3), not 2(-2).

Next, we can eliminate B and C. For the 4ac, we know it has to be 4(3)(0) because A=3 and C=0. B and C have given 4(3)(2) and 4(3)(1), respectively. This does not match A=3 and C=0.

Therefore, A is the correct answer.

Jim is building a rectangular deck and wants the length to be 1 ft greater than the width. what will be the dimensions of the de
Travka [436]
Let x = width
x+1 is then the length

2x+2(x+1)=66
2x+2x+2=66
4x=64
x=16
deck will be 16x17, nice for a BBQ. :)
