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}

Which equation has exactly one solution in common with the equation y=6x-2?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

A. 18x - 3y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

By taking 3 common from the terms 18x and 3y we get,

3 (6x-3y) = 6

or, 6x - y = 6/3

or, 6x - y = 2

And,

The equation becomes,

y = 6x - 2

Which equation is made true by the opposite angles theorem?
Oksana_A [137]

Solution

Step 1

The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal:

Step 2

85\text{ + y  =  3y - 15}

The equation is made true by the opposite angles theorem is

85 + y = 3y - 15

or

y = 50

Alex787 [66]
Answer: x^2 + 4x + 4

Explanation:
just expand, factor out, and add together.

(x+2)(x+2)

x • x = x^2
2x + 2x = 4x
2 • 2 = 4

x^2 + 4x + 4
