Answer:
B. The function f(x) is a geometric sequence.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that,
The function f(x) grows by 12% for every unit in the domain.
That is,
For the initial value, let the output value be x.
For the next value, the output will be
For the next value, the output will be
For the next value, the output will be and so on..
<em>Thus, the output values are increasing by the rate</em>
Hence, the function f(x) represents a geometric sequence.

Answer:
The answer to each point is below
Step-by-step explanation:
We will solve point by point:
a) We have to:
Random variable X = number of heads
Let, H => heads, T => tails
b) We have that the combinations are
TTT, TTH, THT, THH, HTT, HTH, HHT, HHH
Number of Heads (X) 0 1 2 3
Probability (P) 1/8 3/8 3/8 1/8
c) attached the histogram.
d) We have the following:
Mean = E (X) = 0 * 1/8 + 1 * 3/8 + 2 * 3/8 + 3 * 1/8
m = 1.5
The mean is 1.5
e) E (X ^ 2) = 0 * 1/8 + 12 * 3/8 + 22 * 3/8 + 32 * 1/8 = 3
Variance = E (X ^ 2) - (E (X)) ^ 2
Var = 3 - (1.5) ^ 2
Var = 0.75
The variance is 0.75
f) standard deviation = (Var) ^ (1/2) = (0.75) ^ (1/2) = 0.866
sd = 0.866
the standard deviation is 0.866
g) P (2 or more heads) = 3/8 + 1/8 = 0.5
The probability is 50%
h) P (two heads) = 3/8 = 0.375
It is likely that out of 8 times of 3 flips, 3 times we can observe two heads out of 3, therefore it is not unusual.
