The valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable are :

<h2>Option A , D , and E</h2>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The probability of an event is defined as the possibility of an event occurring against sample space.

Let us tackle the problem.

In a discrete random variable , the sum of all the probability of distributions must equal to 1. The minimum value of probability is 0 and the maximum value of probability is 1.

<h2>Option A :</h2>

\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6}{6} = 1 ✔

This is the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

<h2>Option B :</h2>

\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{19}{20} \ne 1 ⤬

This is not the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

<h2>Option C :</h2>

-\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5} + \frac{137}{60} = 1 ⤬

Although the sum is 1 but this is still not the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable because probability cannot have negative values.

<h2>Option D :</h2>

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + ... + \frac{1}{128} = 1 ✔

This is the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

<h2>Option E :</h2>

\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} +...+ \frac{1}{10} = 1 ✔

This is the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

A cylindrical pressure vessel has a height of 9 feet and a diameter of 6 feet. how much gas can the pressure vessel hold when fu
bezimeni [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a cylinder is as for any other regular 3D object :

ground area ×height

the ground area of a cylinder is a circle, so it is

pi×radius² × height

the radius is always half of the diameter (of the diameter is airways twice the radius).

radius = 6/2 = 3 ft.

the volume is then

pi × 3² × 9 = pi × 9 × 9 = pi × 81 ft³

so, the answer is 81pi ft³.

How do I write this in slope intercept form: (-3,-4) and (4,-3)
DENIUS [597]
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Pick one of the coordinates, I’ll use (-3,-4) as the example.

Coordinates are just numbers plugged in for (x,y).

This means -3 would be your x and -4 would be your y.

So plug these numbers into the equation and you get -4 = m(-3) + b.

M is slope and to find slope, you need to do (y2-y1) / (x2-x1).

In other words, it would be (-3 - -4) / (4 - -3) = 1/7 which is your slope (m).

Now plug that in for m to get the b variable.

-4 = 1/7(-3) + b.

B = -3.57

Your answer is y = 1/7x -3.57
