Two ballpoint pens are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue pens, 2 red pens, and 3 green pens. If X is the number

of blue pens selected and Y is the number of red pens selected, find (a) the joint probability mass function, (b) P [(X, Y ) ∈ A], where A is the region {(x, y)|x + y ≤ 1}.

Answer:

a) f(x,y) =\frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}} ;   x = 0, 1 , 2;  y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b) = \frac{9}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

joint probability is a function that characterizes the distribution of a random variable. If X and Y be two random variables then the joint probability will be P(X = x, Y=y)

Given Data,

X = The number of blue Pens

Y = The number of red Pens

a)

possible outcomes(X, Y) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (2,0)

Please refer fig. also

total number ways of selecting any 2 pens = \binom{8}{2}= \frac{8!}{2! 6!} =28

f(x,y) = \frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}} ;   x = 0, 1 , 2;  y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b)

P(X,Y)∈A = P(X + Y ≤ 1)

= P(0,0) + P(1,0) + P(0,1)

= \frac{3}{28} + \frac{3}{14} + \frac{9}{28}

= \frac{9}{14}

Can someone please explain how to get the answer I've watched multiple videos on implicit derivatives and I still cant figure it
Arisa [49]

We're given the implicit equation

x² + 2x + y² - 4y = 12

where "implicit" means that one of the variables is considered a function of the other. In this case, the variable y = y(x) depends on the value of the variable x - in other words, the possible values of y are implied by the value of x. We then say that this equation defines y as an implicit function of x.

We're also given the implicit derivative,

dy/dx = (-2x - 2)/(2y - 4)

which tells us the rate of change y as a function of both x and y. The value of dy/dx corresponds to the slope of the tangent line to the curve defined by the implicit equation above at some point (x, y).

The tangent line is horizontal when its slope is zero. This happens when

(-2x - 2)/(2y - 4) = 0

If y ≠ 2, then we can eliminate the denominator and we're left with

-2x - 2 = 0

Solve for x :

-2x = 2

x = -1

This tells us that the points on the curve with x-coordinate -1 have a tangent line to the curve that is horizontal.

The tangent line is vertical when its slope is undefined/infinite, or equivalently when the denominator of dy/dx is zero:

2y - 4 = 0

Solve for y :

2y = 4

y = 2

So any point on the curve with y-coordinate 2 will have a tangent line there that is vertical.

By completing the square in the implicit equation, we can easily identify where these points are located.

x² + 2x + y² - 4y = 12

x² + 2x + 1 + y² - 4y + 4 = 17

(x + 1)² + (y - 2)² = 17

This equation defines a circle centered at (-1, 2) with radius √17. When x = -1, we have

(y - 2)² = 17   ⇒   y = 2 ± √17

and when y = 2, we have

(x + 1)² = 17   ⇒   x = -1 ± √17

See the attached plot to see the circle and the tangents at these points.

Determine the factors of x2 − 8x − 12.

Pretty sure its C because none of the other options factor to x^2-8x-12

Graph the equation by plotting three points. If all three are correct, the line will appear 2y = 3x + 11​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

(-1,4), (-5,0), (3,10) I hope this helps.

What I did I reduced the equation and got y by itself. The new equation would be y=3/2x+11/2x. I started plugging in points. I put the equation on a graph and found those points on the graph.

So if you 12 centimeter cubes to build a rectangular prism, the prism has a volume of _______ cubic centimeters, or _______ cm
-Dominant- [34]
1728 cubic centimeters

12 with the exponent of 3 would basically be 12x12x12 but easier i put 12x12=144x12= which is 1728

cuz if its just 12x12 thats just the area of one side, if its 12x12x12 its the volume of the whole cube/rectangular prism
