Simple probability question.

The probability that the 2 sweets will not be the same = 1 - probability of same 2 sweets.

There are 3 possible outcomes where the two sweets will be the same. If she had 2 Liquorice or 2 mint or 2 humbug.

P(2 Liquorice) = 12/20 * 11/19
P(2 Mint) = 5/20 *4/19
P(2 Humbug) = 3/20 * 2/19

<span>All of those added together will give you the probability of her getting 2 of the same time of sweet. </span>

You the take that answer and subtract it from 1.

<span>I hope that helps.</span>

Let X be a Bernoulli rv with pmf as in Example 3.18. a. Compute E(X2 ). b. Show that V(X) 5 p(1 2 p). c. Compute E(X79).

spayn [35]

The Bernoulli distribution is a distribution whose random variable can only take 0 or 1

The value of E(x2) is p
The value of V(x) is p(1 - p)
The value of E(x79) is p

<h3>How to compute E(x2)</h3>

The distribution is given as:

p(0) = 1 - p

p(1) = p

The expected value of x2, E(x2) is calculated as:

$E(x^2) = \sum x^2 * P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x^2) = 0^2 * (1- p) + 1^2 * p$

Evaluate the exponents

$E(x^2) = 0 * (1- p) + 1 * p$

Multiply

$E(x^2) = 0 +p$

Add

$E(x^2) = p$

Hence, the value of E(x2) is p

<h3>How to compute V(x)</h3>

This is calculated as:

$V(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2$

Start by calculating E(x) using:

$E(x) = \sum x * P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x) = 0 * (1- p) + 1 * p$

$E(x) = p$

Recall that:

$V(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2$

So, we have:

$V(x) = p - p^2$

Factor out p

$V(x) = p(1 - p)$

Hence, the value of V(x) is p(1 - p)

<h3>How to compute E(x79)</h3>

The expected value of x79, E(x79) is calculated as:

$E(x^{79}) = \sum x^{79} * P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x^{79}) = 0^{79} * (1- p) + 1^{79} * p$

Evaluate the exponents

$E(x^{79}) = 0 * (1- p) + 1 * p$

Multiply

$E(x^{79}) = 0 + p$

Add

$E(x^{79}) = p$

Hence, the value of E(x79) is p

Could someone help on this question please 15 points

valkas [14]

You multiply then solve for y
<span>(–9.7 • 24) • (–0.25) = –9.7 • (24 • y)
</span>-232.8*(-0.25)=-232.8y
58.2=-232.8y
58.2/-232.8=-232.8y/-232.8
y= -0.25

615.44 to the nearest hundredth

Leya [2.2K]

When rounding, look to the next place to the right of what you are rounding to... for example if you are rounding to the nearest hundredth, look to the thousandths place to see if the hundredths place rounds up or down. Since your number, 615.44 stops on the hundredths place, the thousandths place is automatically zero, so your number stays the same.

615.44
