Two part-time instructors are hired by the Department of Statistics and each is assigned at random to teach a single course in p

robability, inference, or statistical computing. Assume that more than one section of each course is offered. List the outcomes in the sample space [Hint: each element consists of a pair of assignments]. Find the probability that they will teach different courses. Note: carefully define your notation (e.g. any events) in words before solving the problem.

Answer:

The probability that they will teach different courses is \frac{2}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

In this case we will write the sample space in the form (x, y).

Here <em>x</em> represents the course taught by the first part-time instructor and <em>y</em> represents the course taught by the second part-time instructor.

Denote every course by their first letter.

The sample space is as follows:

S = {(P, P), (P, I), (P, S), (I, P), (I, I), (I, S), (S, P), (S, I) and (S, S)}

The outcomes where the the instructors will teach different courses are:

s = {(P, I), (P, S), (I, P),(I, S), (S, P) and (S, I)}

The probability of an events <em>E</em> is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

Compute the probability that they will teach different courses as follows:

P(\text{Different courses})=\frac{n(s)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}

Thus, the probability that they will teach different courses is \frac{2}{3}.

Write an explicit function for f(x) <br> Can anyone help me with this please I’ll mark as brainliest
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explicit Function:

Any function which when expressed in terms of the independent variable is called an explicit function. For example, if we write y=f(x)

, then the dependent variable y is given in terms of the independent variable x by the function f(x). Thus y=f(x) is an explicit function. But, g(x,y)=c

is not explicit as it is a combination of both x and y. Such a function is called implicit.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is meant by implicit function?

An implicit function is a function that is defined by an implicit equation. That means the equation contains several variables, including dependent and independent. In other words, it is an equation that relates one of the variables, recognized as the value of the function, with the others regarded as the arguments.

What is an explicit function?

An explicit function is a function that is represented in terms of an independent variable. For example, y = 4x – 7 is explicit where y is a dependent variable and is dependent on the independent variable x.

How do you know if a function is implicit?

If a function is written in the form f(x, y) = 0, we can say that the given function is implicit.

What is implicit function differentiation?

We differentiate or find the derivative for both sides of the equation in implicit function differentiation.

What is explicit and implicit?

In general, “explicit” means clearly stated, whereas “implicit” refers to proposed and not stated directly.

How to write each fraction or mixed number as a decimal
4vir4ik [10]

okay lets foces on question 20. 3/20

all you need to do is times the dinominator into 100 so 20x5=100 and now you have to multipy the same number that you multiplyed the first one by so 3x5=15 so the anwer would be 15/100 and to put that in a decimal you need to see the number on top witch is 15 so your real ANWSER IS   .15
