Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = B(- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = C(- 2, - 2)
m = 
= 
= - 2
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 2, - 2), then
- 2 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 4 = - 6
y = - 2x - 6 ← equation of line through B and C
Answer:
a) 0.50575,
b) 0.042
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1.5. A person goes shopping 3 times. The probability of buying a good product for the first time is 0.7.
If the first time you can buy good products, the next time you can buy good products is 0.85; (I interpret this as, if you buy a good product, then the next time you buy a good product is 0.85).
And if the last time I bought a bad product, the next time I bought a good one is 0.6. Calculate the probability that:
a) All three times the person bought good goods.
P(Good on 1st shopping event AND Good on 2nd shopping event AND Good on 3rd shopping event) =
P(Good on 1st shopping event) *P(Good on 2nd shopping event | Good on 1st shopping event) * P(Good on 3rd shopping event | 1st and 2nd shopping events yield Good) =
(0.7)(0.85)(0.85) =
0.50575
b) Only the second time that person buys a bad product.
P(Good on 1st shopping event AND Bad on 2nd shopping event AND Good on 3rd shopping event) =
P(Good on 1st shopping event) *P(Bad on 2nd shopping event | Good on 1st shopping event) * P(Good on 3rd shopping event | 1st is Good and 2nd is Bad shopping events) =
(0.7)(1-0.85)(1-0.6) =
(0.7)(0.15)(0.4) =
0.042
Answer: x=-1 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Tossing a die will have 6 possible outcomes. Those are having sides that are number 1 to 6. The sample space of tossing 3 dice is equal to 6³ which is equal to 216. Now for the calculation of probabilities,
P(two 5s) = (1 x 1 x 5)/216
As we have to have the 5 in the die for two times, then for the 1 time, we can have all other numbers except 5. The answer is 5/216.
P(three 5s) = (1 x 1 x 1)/216 = 1/216
P(one 5 or two 5s) = (1 x 5 x 5)/216 + (1 x 1 x 5)/216 = 5/36
