If we toss a fair coin until we get two consecutive heads or two consecutive tails, let X be the number of tosses. If you toss a

fair coin until you get a tail that is preceded by a head, let Y be the number of tosses. (1). Find the PMF of X and E(X). (2). Find the PMF of Y and E[Y].

Answer:

1)  PMF of X and E(X) is 3

2) PMF of Y and E[Y] is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(1). Find the PMF of X and E(X)

it has to have TT and HH at end

if at end there is TT then the sequence has to be : .......THTHTHTT

if at end there is HH then the sequence has to be : .......HTHTHTHH

no. of tosses before last two = x-2

these x-2 tosses also have fix pattern so,

P(......TT) = 0.5^{x-2} x P(TT)

              =  0.5^{x-2} x (0.5 x 0.5) = 0.5^{x}

P(TT at the end of X tosses) = 0.5^{x}

similarly,

P(HH at the end of X tosses) = 0.5^{x}

P(X) = P(TT at the end of X tosses) +  P(HH at the end of X tosses)

P(X) = 2 x (0.5^{x} )

E(X) = Σx.2*(0.5^{x} ) {x >= 2}

E(X) = 3  

2.  Find the PMF of Y and E[Y].

For the y-2 tosses before the HT if there is any heads then it will only be succeeded by heads till we reach the HT

therefore the y-2 tosses before HT are of the form : TkH(y-2)-k

k can be 0 to y-2 therfore y-2 +1 possibilities

k can have y-1 values

P(y) = (y-1)(0.5^{y})

E(y) = Σy.(y-1)(0.5^{y}) {y >= 2}

E(y) = 4

Yun was trying to factor 7x^2-14x7x
disa [49]

the width of Yun's area model is 7x units or ( x-2 )units .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Yun was trying to factor 7x^2-14x.  He found that the greatest common factor of these terms was 7x and made an area model:  What is the width of Yun's area model. Let's find out:

We know that area of rectangle :

⇒ Area = length(width)  .........(1)

Now , According to question we have

⇒ Area = 7x^2-14x

⇒ Area = 7x(x-2)

Comparing this equation to equation (1) we get that :

⇒ width = 7x or , width =x -2

Therefore , the width of Yun's area model is 7x units or ( x-2 )units .

725% work in an organisation 52% of employees or post graduate and the remaining are not post graduate find the number of employ
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 348

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total employees work = 725

Proportion of employees are post graduate = 52%

Proportion of employees are not post graduate = 100%-52% = 48%

The number of employees were not post graduate  = 48% of 725

= 0.48 x  725

= 348

Hence, the number of employees were not post graduate  = 348
