Answer:

E (Y) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a 4-sided die is being rolled repeatedly; and the odd-numbered rolls (1st 3rd,5th, etc.)

The probability of odd number roll will be, p(T) = \frac{1}{2}

However, on your even-numbered rolls, you are victorious if you get a 3 or 4. Also, the  probability of even number roll, p(U) = \frac{1}{2}

In order to  calculate: E (Y); We can say Y to be the number of times you roll.

We know that;

E (Y) = E ( Y|T ) p(T) + E ( Y|U ) p(U)

Let us calculate E ( Y|T ) and E ( Y|U )

Y|T ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{4}

Y|U ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{2}

also; x ≅ geometric (p)

∴ E (x) = \frac{1}{p}

⇒ \frac{Y}{T} = 4 ; also \frac{Y}{U} = 2

E (Y) = 4 × \frac{1}{2} + 2 ×

        = 2+1

E (Y) = 3

Distributive property 3(x-1)=3x-
user100 [1]
The answer is 3x-3. You have to distribute the 3 to both of the variables in the equations. The 1 in the parentheses is a negative and multiplying the 3 will result in a negative 3.

Answer:

The equation is y=2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=7

2y=-4x+7

y=-2x+7/2

Hence, the gradient =-2

Note that: parallel lines share the same gradient

sub m(gradient)=-2 and the point (1,0) into y=mx+c

0=-2(1)+c

c=2

Therefore, the equation in the form of y=mx+c is y=-2x+2
