Let W be a random variable giving the number of heads minus the number of tails in three tosses of a coin. List the elements of

the sample space S for the three tosses of the coin and to each sample point assign a value w of W.

Answer:

HHH, W = 3-0 = 3

HHT, W= 2-1=1

HTH, W= 2-1=1

THH, W=2-1 =1

HTT, W= 1-2=-1

THT, W= 1-2=-1

TTH, W=1-2=-1

TTT, W=0-3 = -3

So then the sample space for W is:

$S= [-3,-1,1,3]$

Just 4 possible values from 8 possible combinations for the 3 random tosses

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define W as the random variable who represent the number of heads minus the number of tails in three tosses of a coin.

W= # heads- # coins

Since we toss a coin 3 times we have 2*2*2= 8 possible results. We can list the results and the corresponding values for W like this:

HHH, W = 3-0 = 3

HHT, W= 2-1=1

HTH, W= 2-1=1

THH, W=2-1 =1

HTT, W= 1-2=-1

THT, W= 1-2=-1

TTH, W=1-2=-1

TTT, W=0-3 = -3

So then the sample space for W is:

$S= [-3,-1,1,3]$

Just 4 possible values from 8 possible combinations for the 3 random tosses

The labeled angle is what's called an inscribed angle. There's a theorem (fittingly called the inscribed angle theorem) that says the measure of this angle is half the measure of the circular arc that it subtends.

In this case, the angle is subtended by an arc measuring 180°. So

(4x + 6)° = 1/2 • 180°

4x + 6 = 90

4x = 84

x = 21

Answer:

a) find the attached graph

b) find the attachment no 4 and 5

c) $T_{10}= 4.72+1.46(10) = 19.28$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A trend pattern exist if the time series plot gradually shifts to higher or lower values over a long period of time

find the attached graph

b) Liner Trend Equation

$T_{1} =b_{0} +b_{1}t$

Where $T_{1}$ is the linear trend forecast in period t , $b_{0}$ is the intercept of the linear trend time, $b_{1}$ is the slope of the linear trend line, t is the time period

now computing the slope and intercept

<u>formula is attached ( 3 no attachment)</u>

$Y_{t}$ is the value of the time series in period t, n is the number of time periods

Y(bar) is the average value and t(bar) is the average value of t

<u><em>due to unavailability of equation in math-script i attached the calculation part of this question( 4th and 5th no attachment)</em></u>

thus the linear trend equation is $T_{t}= 4.72+1.46t$ (1)

$T_{10}= 4.72+1.46(10) = 19.28$
