Well, assuming you're wanting an equation, you just read the question.

x-6=2x

And, assuming you're wanting to SOLVE it, you would simply do as shown:

x-6=2x

-x -x

x=-6

Alice searches for her term paper in her filing cabinet, which has several drawers. She knows thatshe left her term paper in dra

katen-ka-za [31]

You made a mistake with the probability $p_{j}$ , which should be $p_{i}$ in the last expression, so to be clear I will state the expression again.

So we want to solve the following:

Conditioned on this event, show that the probability that her paper is in drawer $j$ , is given by:

(1) $\frac{p_{j} }{1-d_{i}p_{i} } , if j \neq i,$ and

(2) $\frac{p_{i} (1-d_{i} )}{1-d_{i}p_{i} } , if j = i.$

so we can say:

$A$ is the event that you search drawer $i$ and find nothing,

$B$ is the event that you search drawer $i$ and find the paper,

$C_{k}$ is the event that the paper is in drawer $k, k = 1, ..., n.$

this gives us:

$P(B) = P(B \cap C_{i} ) = P(C_{i})P(B | C_{i} ) = d_{i} p_{i}$

$P(A) = 1 - P(B) = 1 - d_{i} p_{i}$

Solution to Part (1):

if $j \neq i$ , then $P(A \cap C_{j} ) = P(C_{j} )$ ,

this means that

$P(C_{j} |A) = \frac{P(A \cap C_{j})}{P(A)} = \frac{P(C_{j} )}{P(A)} = \frac{p_{j} }{1-d_{i}p_{i} }$

as needed so part one is solved.

Solution to Part(2):

so we have now that if $j$ = $i$ , we get that:

$P(C_{j}|A ) = \frac{P(A \cap C_{j})}{P(A)}$

remember that:

$P(A|C_{j} ) = \frac{P(A \cap C_{j})}{P(C_{j})}$

this implies that:

$P(A \cap C_{j}) = P(C_{j}) \cdot P(A|C_{j}) = p_{i} (1-d_{i} )$

so we just need to combine the above relations to get:

$P(C_{j}|A) = \frac{p_{i} (1-d_{i} )}{1-d_{i}p_{i} }$

as needed so part two is solved.

A bookstore had 90 copies of a magazine. Yesterday, it sold 1/6 of them. Today, it sold 1/5 of what remained. How many copies do

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

60 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

first you take 1/6th of the original 90 copies which is 15 and subtract that from the 90, you are left with 75 copies which is how many they had left at the end of yesterday. then you take 1/5th of the 75 copies that are left which is also 15 and you subtract that from 75 and you get 60. that's why at the end of today there are 60 copies left.

The calculation of the mean of a population and the expected value of the probability mass function of a Random Variable (RV) ar

Zanzabum

Answer: Hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options.

A.) The probabilities of the RVs may be equal

B.) The sum of the probabilities of the RVs exceed 1

C.) This is an impossible occurrence

D.) The probabilities of the RVs must be equal

E.) None of the above

answer:

The probabilities of the RVs may be equal ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the value of the population mean and the value of probability mass function of a set of random variables are similar

For the Random Variables : 100,200,300,400

The Probability mass function of RV = ( 100 + 200 + 300 + 400 ) / 4

Hence The probabilities of the RVs may be equal

Is “12.95 x 10^4” a Scientific Notation? Yes or No? Explain.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 ✕ 10^8. and that is something Very similar.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
