Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is given below

$\left|\begin{array}{c|cc}x&y\\--&--\\-2&15\\1&6\\2&3\\4&-3\\7&-12\end{array}\right|$

We can see that the table represents a linear function since by checking its slope.

Using:

Points (-2,15) and (1,6)
Points (1,6) and (2,3)

$Slope =\dfrac{6-15}{1-(-2)} =\dfrac{3-6}{2-1}=-3$

Therefore, the values represent a linear function.

A linear equation is of the form y=mx+b

Therefore:

y=-3x+b

Using the points (7,-12)

$-12=-3(7)+b\\-12=-21+b\\b=-12+21\\b=9$

Therefore, the y-intercept of the function, represented by the table of values is 9.

Find the probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if:a) a

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A) 0.0009765625

B) 0.0060466176

C) 2.7756 x 10^(-17)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) This problem follows a binomial distribution. The number of successes among a fixed number of trials is; n = 10

If a 0 bit and 1 bit are equally likely, then the probability to select in 1 bit is; p = 1/2 = 0.5

Now the definition of binomial probability is given by;

P(K = x) = C(n, k)•p^(k)•(1 - p)^(n - k)

Now, we want the definition of this probability at k = 10.

Thus;

P(x = 10) = C(10,10)•0.5^(10)•(1 - 0.5)^(10 - 10)

P(x = 10) = 0.0009765625

B) here we are given that p = 0.6 while n remains 10 and k = 10

Thus;

P(x = 10) = C(10,10)•0.6^(10)•(1 - 0.6)^(10 - 10)

P(x=10) = 0.0060466176

C) we are given that;

P((x_i) = 1) = 1/(2^(i))

Where i = 1,2,3.....,n

Now, the probability for the different bits is independent, so we can use multiplication rule for independent events which gives;

P(x = 10) = P((x_1) = 1)•P((x_2) = 1)•P((x_3) = 1)••P((x_4) = 1)•P((x_5) = 1)•P((x_6) = 1)•P((x_7) = 1)•P((x_8) = 1)•P((x_9) = 1)•P((x_10) = 1)

This gives;

P(x = 10) = [1/(2^(1))]•[1/(2^(2))]•[1/(2^(3))]•[1/(2^(4))]....•[1/(2^(10))]

This gives;

P(x = 10) = [1/(2^(55))]

P(x = 10) = 2.7756 x 10^(-17)

The table shows how many books the students in Bergdalsskolan list during the summer. There were 48 students who list 4 books. a

Juliette [100K]

Step 1:

First, find the total number of students.

Let the total number of students = m

Step 2:

Find the total number of students using the percentage of 4 books.

48 students listed 4 books with a percentage of 16%

$\begin{gathered} 48\text{ = 16\% of m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16m}{100} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 16m\text{ = 48 }\times\text{ 100} \\ 16m\text{ = 4800} \\ \text{m = }\frac{4800}{16} \\ \text{m = 300} \end{gathered}$

Hence, there are 300 students.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Number of students that had 1 book = 24\% of 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{24}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{7200}{100} \\ =\text{ 72 students} \end{gathered}$

72 students had 1 book.

b) What percentage more read 2 books than 4 books?

percentage that read 2 books = 36%

percentage that read 4 books = 16%

36 - 16 = 20%

There are 20% students that read 2 books than 4 books.
