Answer:
a) 3/64 = 0.046 (4.6%)
b) 63/64 = 0.9843 (98.43%)
c) 1/64 = 0.015 (1.5%)
d) 1/4 = 0.25 (25%)
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to verify that the f(x) is a probability mass function , then it should comply the requirement that the sum of probabilities over the entire space of x is equal to 1. Then
∑f(x)*Δx = 1
if f(x)=(3/4)(1/4)^x , x = 0, 1, 2, ...
then Δx=1 and
∑f(x) = (3/4)∑(1/4)^x = (3/4)* [ 1/(1-1/4)] = (3/4)*(4/3) = 1
then f represents a probability mass function
a) P(X = 2)= f(x=2) = (3/4)(1/4)^2 = 3/64 = 0.046 (4.6%)
b) P(X ≤ 2) = ∑f(x) = f(x=0)+ f(x=1) + f(x=2) = (3/4) + (3/4)(1/4) + 3/64 = 63/64 = 0.9843 (98.43%)
c) P(X > 2)= 1- P(X ≤ 2) = 1 - 63/64 = 1/64 = 0.015 (1.5%)
d) P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X < 1) = 1 - f(x=0) = 1- 3/4 = 1/4 = 0.25 (25%)
Answer:
The ladder is 10 ft long...
I physically cannot tell you
1/2*(2*8)=3*(-12)
1/2*16=3*(-12)
1/2*16= -36
8= -36
The equality is false because the left hand and right hand side are different
"Perimeter" is the distance all the way around the drawing. If the drawing has sides, then the perimeter is the SUM of the lengths of all the sides. It's exactly the distance an ant would have to walk along the line, to get all the way around to where he started from.
To get the perimeter of the triangle, you have to add up the lengths of the three sides.
(2a - 3) + (2a) + (3a + 1) =
2a - 3 + 2a + 3a + 1 .
Add up all the 'a's: 2a + 2a + 3a = 7a
Add up all the just plain numbers: -3 + 1 = -2
Write them together, as a binomial: 7a - 2
THAT's your expression for the perimeter.
