Answer:

B. P(A)=0.2, P(B)=0.1, P(C)=0.7

E. P(A)=0.3, P(B)=0.3, P(C)=0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

A fundamental property of probability is that the sum of the probabilities of the events is equal to 1.

Another property is that the probability of any event must be greater than or equal to zero, it can never be a negative value.

Case A. P(A)=0.1, P(B)=0.1, P(C)=1

P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 0.1 + 0.1 + 1 = 1.2 ≠ 1 (It is not a legitimate probability model)

Case B. P(A)=0.2, P(B)=0.1, P(C)=0.7

P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.7 = 1 (It is a legitimate probability model)

Case C. P(A)=-0.4, P(B)=0.9, P(C)=0.5

P(B) = -0.4 is a negative value (It is not a legitimate probability model)

Case D. P(A)=0.5, P(B)=0,P(C)=0.4

P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 0.5 + 0 + 0.4 = 0.9 ≠ 1 (It is not a legitimate probability model)

Case E. P(A)=0.3, P(B)=0.3, P(C)=0.4

P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 0.3 + 0.3 + 0.4 = 1 (It is a legitimate probability model)

Hope this helps!

I don't understand this at all. can someone explain?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

In order, your numbers are

22, 45, 75, 89, 89, 95, 100

The median is the number that is in the middle numbers of all your numbers. The median is 89, since it is in the very middle.

The mean is all your numbers added together and then divided by how ever many numbers you have. 22 + 45 + 75 + 89 + 89 + 95 + 100 = 515. Since you have 7 numbers, you would divide 515 by 7, which equals 73.5. The mean is 73.5.

The mode is the number that has the most numbers(not sure how to word it) Since 89 has two of the numbers, and no other numbers have duplicates, your mode is 89.

X² – 4x – 12=0 <br> solve by completing the square
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

x = -2 0r x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question

X² – 4x – 12=0

solve by completing the square method

we have;

X² – 4x – 12=0

X² – 4x = 12

to make the left hand side a perfect square we add 4 to both sides.

X² -4x  + 4 = 12 + 4

X² -4x  + 4 = 16

from left hand side X² -4x  + 4

= (x -2) × ( x -2)

it can be simply expressed as

( x-2)²

so since X² -4x  + 4  has been simplified to be ( x-2)²

then,

( x-2)² = 16

x - 2 = √ 16

since square root has  two values it can either be positive or negative

so we have

x = 2 + √16

or

x = 2 - √16

therefore

x = 2 + √16

x = 2 + 4

x = 6

0r

x = 2 - 4

x = -2
