Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:


I think you're making an incorrect assumption here. X and Y are two events based on two separate, independent series of coin tosses, from coins A and B, respectively. Here's an example:

Coin one:

T-T-T-T-H-H

Coin two:

H-H-H-T-T-T

<u><em>Event X (two heads in a row from coin A) occurred after event Y (three heads in a row from coin B). In the language of the question, X=6 and Y = 3. Since X>Y is a possible event in the space, P{X>Y} must be greater than zero.</em></u>

<em>answer:</em>

The problem can be broken down by the outcome of the first toss of the two coins.

Bearing arithmetic typos, the answer should be <u><em>43/58.</em></u>

<u><em>thanx</em></u>

<u><em>hope it helps youuu</em></u>

Does this table show y as a function of x ? <br> : (-3,1) (0,-5) (4,7) (-3,0)
belka [17]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a function is that every output (x) has only one input (y).

Here -3 gives two different outputs which contradicts the definition of a function.

F(t) = -(t-2) (t-15)
Goryan [66]

Answer:

smaller (t) = 2 and this in coordinates form (2,0)

larger (t) = 15 and this in coordinates form (15,0)

the vertex of the parabola =  (\frac{17}{2} ,\frac{169}{4} ) or in decimals (8.5, 42.25)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For the zeros of the function take each bracket and make it equal to zero.

SMALLER (t):

(t-2)=0

(add 2 for both sides)

t=2

LARGER (t):

(t-15)=0

(add 15 for both sides)

t=15

  • For the vertex of the parabola you do:

step1: expand the brackets:

f(t)=-(t-2)(t-15)

f(t)= -t^{2} +17t-30

step2: define a,b and c using the expression ax^{2} +bx+c :

a= -1 (the coefficient of t^{2} )

b= 17 (the coefficient of t)

c= -30 (the single number without a letter)

step3: sub the values in the formula -\frac{b}{2a} to find the x coordinate of the vertex :

-\frac{b}{2a}

= - \frac{17}{2*-1}

= \frac{17}{2} or in decimals 8.5

step4: sub the value of t (the x-coordinate) in equation f(t):

f(t)= -t^{2} +17t-30

f ( \frac{17}{2})  = - (\frac{17}{2} )^{2}+ 17× \frac{17}{2} - 30

= -\frac{289}{4} + \frac{289}{2} -30

=\frac{169}{4} or in decimals 42.25
