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

Two exponential functions are shown in the table.
sammy [17]

Based on the table, a conclusion which can be drawn about f(x) and g(x) is that: B. the functions f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis.

<h3>How to compare the functions f(x) and g(x)?</h3>

In Mathematics, two functions are considered to be reflections over the y-axis under the following condition:

If, f(-x) = g(x).

Evaluating the given functions, we have:

f(x) = 2ˣ

f(-x) = 2⁻ˣ = ½ˣ = g(x).

Similarly, two functions are considered to be reflections over the x-axis under the following condition:

If, -f(x) = g(x).

Evaluating the given functions, we have:

f(x) = 2ˣ

-f(x) = -2ˣ ≠ g(x).

Therefore, we can logically conclude that the two functions f(x) and g(x) are considered to be reflections over the y-axis but not the x-axis.

Perform the indicated operation:
yaroslaw [1]

The expression \frac{m^{2}-16\cdot n^{2}}{\frac{3\cdot m + 12\cdot n}{m\cdot n} } is equal to \frac{m^{2}\cdot n}{3} -\frac{4\cdot m\cdot n^{2}}{3}.

<h3>How to simplify a composite algebraic expression</h3>

In this question we must use properties of <em>real</em> algebra to simplify a given expression as most as possible. We proceed to show each step with respective reason.

  1. \frac{m^{2}-16\cdot n^{2}}{\frac{3\cdot m + 12\cdot n}{m\cdot n} }  Given
  2. \frac{m\cdot n \cdot (m^{2}-16\cdot n^{2})}{3\cdot m + 12\cdot n}   \frac{\frac{a}{b} }{\frac{c}{d} } = \frac{a\cdot d}{c\cdot b}
  3. \frac{m\cdot n \cdot (m-4\cdot n)\cdot (m+4\cdot n)}{3\cdot (m+4\cdot n)} Distributive property/a^{2}-b^{2} = (a +b)\cdot (a-b)
  4. \frac{m\cdot n \cdot (m-4\cdot n)}{3} Existence of the multiplicative inverse/Modulative property
  5. \frac{m^{2}\cdot n}{3} -\frac{4\cdot m\cdot n^{2}}{3} Distributive property/x^a\cdot x^{b} = x^{a+b}/Result

A circle centered at (-2,3) and contains point (5,9) which represents the equation
SIZIF [17.4K]
The standard form of the equation of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center of the circle, (x,y) is a point of the circle, and r is the length of the radius of the circle. When the equation of a circle is written, h,k, and r are numbers, while x and y are still variables. (x-2)^2 + (y-k)^2 = 16 is an example of a circle. The problem gives us two of the three things that a circle has, a point (5,9) and the center (-2,3). We need to find the radius in order to write the equation. We substitute -2 for h, 3 for k, 5 for x, and 9 for y to get (5 - (-2))^2 + (9 - 3)^2 = r^2 We simplify: 49 + 36 = r^2, r^2 = 85. We only need to know r^2 because the equation of a circle has r^2. We now have all the information to write the equation of a circle. (x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 85.
