Answer:
There's no direct variation
Step-by-step explanation:

Determine if there's a direct variation between the number and its position
I'll start by giving an illustration of how the triangle is represented using stars (*)
*
**
***

*****
Represent the line number with y and it's position with x
On line 1:
y = 1, x = 1
On line 2:
y = 2, x = 3
On line 3:
y = 3, x = 6
On line 4:
y = 4, x = 10
On line 5:
y = 5, x = 15
Note that, x is gotten by calculating the accumulated number of stars while y is the line number.
Direct variation is represented by
y = kx
Or
kx = y
Where k is the constant of variation
For line 1:
Substitute 1 for y and 1 for x
k * 1 = 1
k = 1
For line 2:
Substitute 2 for y and 3 for x
k * 3 = 2
Divide through by 3
k = ⅔
Note that the values of k in both computations differ.
This implies that there's no direct variation and there's no need to check further.
Obtuse angle because is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
Answer:
P[X=3,Y=3] = 0.0416
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
- X is the RV denoting the no. of customers in line.
- Y is the sum of Customers C.
- Where no. of Customers C's to be summed is equal to the X value.
- Since both events are independent we have:
P[X=3,Y=3] = P[X=3]*P[Y=3/X=3]
P[X=3].P[Y=3/X=3] = P[X=3]*P[C1+C2+C3=3/X=3]
P[X=3]*P[C1+C2+C3=3/X=3] = P[X=3]*P[C1=1,C2=1,C3=1]
P[X=3]*P[C1=1,C2=1,C3=1] = P[X=3]*(P[C=1]^3)
- Thus, we have:
P[X=3,Y=3] = P[X=3]*(P[C=1]^3) = 0.25*(0.55)^3
P[X=3,Y=3] = 0.0416
