When should the direct pattern be used to communicate negative nows?

DochEvi [55]

If you are referring to news* instead of "nows", the direct pattern should be used when firmness is necessary and the receiver may overlook look it. This provides for a clear explanation and understanding.

Consider a discrete random variable x with pmf px (1) = c 3 ; px (2) = c 6 ; px (5) = c 3 and 0 otherwise, where c is a positive

PtichkaEL [24]

Looks like the PMF is supposed to be

$\mathbb P(X=x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }x\in\{1,5\}\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }x=2\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

which is kinda weird, but it's not entirely clear what you meant...

Anyway, assuming the PMF above, for this to be a valid PMF, we need the probabilities of all events to sum to 1:

$\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac c6+\dfrac c3=\dfrac{5c}6=1\implies c=\dfrac65$

Next,

$\mathbb P(X>2)=\mathbb P(X=5)=\dfrac c3=\dfrac25$

$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{2c}6+\dfrac{5c}3=\dfrac{7c}3=\dfrac{14}5$

$\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E\bigg((X-\mathbb E(X))^2\bigg)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2$
$\mathbb E(X^2)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x^2\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{4c}6+\dfrac{25c}3=\dfrac{28c}3=\dfrac{56}5$
$\implies\mathbb V(X)=\dfrac{56}5-\left(\dfrac{14}5\right)^2=\dfrac{84}{25}$

If $Y=X^2+1$ , then $X^2=Y-1\implies X=\sqrt{Y-1}$ , where we take the positive root because we know $X$ can only take on positive values, namely 1, 2, and 5. Correspondingly, we know that $Y$ can take on the values $1^2+1=2$ , $2^2+1=5$ , and $5^2+1=26$ . At these values of $Y$ , we would have the same probability as we did for the respective value of $X$ . That is,

$\mathbb P(Y=y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=2\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }y=5\\\\\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=26\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Part (5) is incomplete, so I'll stop here.

Frank has 6 red socks, 8 black socks, and 10 white socks in his sock drawer. If Frank blindly reaches into his sock drawer, what

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first probability is 10/24, and the second is 9/23. If you multiply these two fractoins you get 15/92. 15/92 is approximately equal to 16%.

How do I solve the equation?

trapecia [35]

Answer:

(-3, 5) radius- r= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+6x+y^2-10y=-9

Rewrite ^2+6x+y^2-10y=-9 in the form of the standard circle equation

(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2= 5^2

Therefore the circle properties are:

(a, b)=(-3, 5), r= 5
