(a) Is X a discrete or continuous random variable?
(b) What must be the probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms?
(c) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random is not a 10-room unit?

Answer:

a) X is a discrete random variable.

b) 2% probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms

c) 98% probability that a unit chosen at random is not a 10-room unit

d) 30% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

e) 7% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution means that:

7% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 3 rooms.

23% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 4 rooms.

36% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 5 rooms.

19% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 6 rooms.

5% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 7 rooms.

5% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 8 rooms.

3% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 9 rooms.

?% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 10 rooms.

(a) Is X a discrete or continuous random variable?

X is the number of rooms in a randomly selected house. The number of rooms is a countable variable, that is, only assumes values like 1,2,3,4,... You cannot have 3.5 rooms, for example.

So X is a discrete random variable.

(b) What must be the probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms?

The sum of all probabilities must be 100%(1 decimal). So

0.07 + 0.23 + 0.36 + 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.03 + ? = 1

0.98 + ? = 1

? = 0.02

2% probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms

(c) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random is not a 10-room unit?

0.07 + 0.23 + 0.36 + 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.03 = 0.98

98% probability that a unit chosen at random is not a 10-room unit

(d) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms?

7% probability it has 3 rooms

23% probability it has 4 rooms. So

7+23 = 30% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

(e) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random has three rooms?

7% probability that a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city has 3 rooms. So

7% probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms

How do you rewrite an equation by completing the square?<br> x^2+10x+21=0
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+10x+21=0

x²+10x+(10/2)²-(10/2)²+21=0

x²+10x+25-25+21=0

(x+5)²-4=0

(x+5)²=4

(x+y)²=(x+y)(x+y)=x(x+y)+y(x+y)=x²+xy+xy+y²=x²+2xy+y²

(x+y)²=x²+2xy+y²

coefficient of x=2y

y²=[(coefficient of x)/2]²=(2y/2)²=y²
