Let X denote a random variable which corresponds to the number of players in a team who get injured during a game. If we assume

that each player hasequal probability of being injured, which is 0.2 , and there are 10 of themparticipating in each game.
a. Is X a discrete or a continuous random variable?
b. What kind of distribution X follows?
c. Compute the probability that nobody or only one person will be injured in a game.
d. Write down the expression which gives the average value of X (also known as the expected value), what is the value of this expression?
e. Write down the expression that gives the variance of X (average squared distance from the mean ) what number is this expression equal to?
f. Assume that players can be ranked according to their performances and no two people are equally good. If two players get injured what is the probability of best player being one of them ? Note that all combinations of two people are equally likely to get injured.

Answer:

(a)

The values of X can be 0, 1, 2 , ..., 10 . So, X is a discrete random variable.

(b)

The distribution of X is Binomial distribution with the parameters n = 10 and p = 0.2

(c)

Probability that no one or one person will be injured = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

= 10C0 * 0.20 * (1 - 0.2)10-0 + 10C1 * 0.21 * (1 - 0.2)10-1

= 0.810 + 10 * 0.2 * 0.89

= 0.3758096

(d)

Average value of X = np

Average value of X = 10 * 0.2 = 2

(e)

Variance of X = np(1-p)

Variance of X = 10 * 0.2 * (1 - 0.2) = 1.6

(f)

Number of ways in which 2 people gets injured = 10C2 = 10! / ((10-2)! 2!) = (10 * 9) / (2 * 1) = 45

Assume the best player got injures, number of ways in which one people out of remaining 9 people gets injured = 9C1

= 9! / ((9-1)! 1!)

= 9

Probability that the best player got injured = Number of ways in which 1 people gets out of 9 and best person gets injured / Number of ways in which 2 people gets injured

= 9 / 45

= 0.2

Point M (-3, 5) is translated using this rule. (x, y) ----> (x - 1, y) What are the coordinates of M'?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The coordinates of point M' are M'(x,y) = (-4, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following translation rule:

M'(x,y) = M(x,y) + (-1, 0) (1)

Where:

M(x,y) - Original point.

M'(x,y) - Translated point.

(-1, 0) - Translation vector.

If we know that M(x,y) = (-3, 5), then the coordinates of the point M' are:

M'(x,y) = (-3,5) + (-1,0)

M'(x,y) = (-4, 5)

The coordinates of point M' are M'(x,y) = (-4, 5).

The edges of the diameter of a circle are at (-1,2) and (3,-1). Write the equation of the circle in general form.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

(x-1)²+ (y-0.5)²=6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The standard form of equation of a circle is;</u>

(x-a)²+(y-b)²=r² where (a,b) are the center of the circle and r is the radius

<u>Finding the mid-point of the given points</u>

(-1,2) and (3,-1)⇒midpoint will be 1/2(x₁+x₂) , 1/2(y₁+y₂)

midpoint= {1/2(-1+3), 1/2(2+-1)}

midpoint=(1,0.5)

<u>Finding the radius r; the distance from the center to either of the given two points</u>

Apply the distance formula d=√ (x₂-x₁)² +(y₂-y₁)²

Taking (x₁,y₁) as (1,0.5) and (x₂,y₂) as (-1,2) then

d=√ (-1-1)² +(2-0.5)²

d= √ (-2)²+(1.5)²

d=√4+2.25⇒√6.25⇒2.5

r=2.5

<u>Equation of the circle</u>

(x-1)² + (y-0.5)²=2.5²

(x-1)²+ (y-0.5)²=6.25
