Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.42

P(X = 1) = 0.46

P(X = 2) = 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted. So 60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted. So 70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

Probability mass function

Probability of each outcome(0, 1 and 2 files corrupted).

No files corrupted:

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

So

P(X = 0) = 0.6*0.7 = 0.42

One file corrupted:

First one corrupted, second no.

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

First one ok, second one corrupted.

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 1) = 0.4*0.7 + 0.6*0.3 = 0.46

Two files corrupted:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 2) = 0.4*0.3 = 0.12

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Amy would have 2.15 left

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much she has left, subtract the cost of the items from 10.

10 - 0.75 - 5.50 - 1.60 = 2.15

Please help me with this question.​
Sav [38]

Answer:

-2; -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, the graph is split in two lines, right?

Go to the first line at the left and move to the right until you reach the end of the line, which is for x = -1,

*** This is the meaning of x tending to

(-1)^{-} ***

which value can you see for the y-axis? \boxed{-2}

Now, go to the second line at the right and move to the left until you reach the end of the line, which is for x = -1,

*** This is the meaning of x tending to

(-1)^{+} ***

which value can you see for the y-axis?

\boxed{-7}

Thanks

Answer:

c. Rational

because → whole numbers are positive and Starts from 0 so not whole number

Integers can be negative and positive

Examples of numbers that are not integers are: -1.43, 1 3/4, 3.14, . 09, and 5,643.1.

Irrational number that cannot be written in p/q

but -2.4 written in p/q = -24/100

<h3>so c. Rational Number is correct</h3>
