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

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)

10. Simplify the rational expression by rationalizing the denominator. 3 sqrt 160/sqrt 1350x A) 2 sqrt 15x/15x B) 3 sqrt 160/135

Viefleur [7K]

The simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .

First we must simplify the expression:
$\frac{3 \sqrt{160} }{\sqrt{1350x} } = \frac{12 \sqrt{10} }{15 \sqrt{6x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5 \sqrt{6x} }$

Then we factor the rational parts and cancel it out:
$\frac{4 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{5} }{5 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} }$

Then we rationalize the expression:
$\frac{4\sqrt{5} }{5\sqrt{3x} } * \frac{\sqrt{3x} }{\sqrt{3x} } = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{5*3x} = \frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$

Finally, the simplified expression by rationalizing the denominator is (C) $\frac{4 \sqrt{15x} }{15x}$ .

Suppose you are buying orange juice and you want to find the best deal. You find four different brands that offer various sizes

Alenkinab [10]

Answer: 3rd brand.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st brand:

6 oz cost $1.25

The amount per ounce will be:

= $1.25/6

= $0.21

2nd brand:

8 oz cost $1.33

The amount per ounce will be:

= $1.33/8

= $0.17

3rd brand:

12 oz cost $1.50

The amount per ounce will be:

= $1.50/12

= $0.125

4th brand:

16 oz cost $2.10

The amount per ounce will be:

= $2.10/16

= $0.13

From the calculation, the 3rd brand of orange juice is the better but as it's cheaper than others.
