Each pair has 2 socks so 19÷2= 9 with 1 remaining unmatched sock.

We roll a fair die repeatedly until we see the number four appear and then we stop. The outcome of the experiment is the number

muminat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that we roll a fair die repeatedly until we see the number four appear and then we stop.

the number 4 can appear either in I throw, or II throw or .... indefinitely

So X = the no of throws can be from 1 to infinity

This is a discrete distribution countable.

Sample space= {1,2,.....}

b) Prob ( 4 never appears) = Prob (any other number appears in all throws)

= $\frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *...\\=(\frac{5}{6} )^n$

where n is the number of throws

As n tends to infinity, this becomes 0 because 5/6 is less than 1.

Hence this probability is approximately 0

Or definitely 4 will appear atleast once.

Square of a binomial x^2+2x+1

garik1379 [7]

To put an equation into (x+c)^2, we need to see if the trinomial is a perfect square.
General form of a trinomial: ax^2+bx+c
If c is a perfect square, for example (1)^2=1, 2^2=4, that's a good indicator that it's a perfect square trinomial.
Here, it is, because 1 is a perfect square.
To ensure that it's a perfect square trinomial, let's look at b, which in this case is 2.
It has to be double what c is.
2 is the double of 1, therefore this is a perfect square trinomial.
Knowing this, we can easily put it into the form (x+c)^2.
And the answer is: (x+1)^2.
To do it the long way:
x^2+2x+1
Find 2 numbers that add to 2 and multiply to 1.
They are both 1.
x^2+x+x+1
x(x+1)+1(x+1)
Gather like terms
(x+1)(x+1)
or (x+1)^2.
