Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is four furlongs from the dread pirate Ashley and her merciless band

of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Emily has probability \dfrac{1}{2} 2 1 ? of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Emily will always miss. If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Ashley has probability \dfrac{1}{6} 6 1 ? of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Ashley will always miss. If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the Captain shoots first, what is the probability that the Captain hits the pirate ship, but the pirate misses?

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Captain shoots first, the probability of a hit on the pirate ship is 1/2. In the event of a hit, the pirate will always miss (p(miss|hit)=1), so ...

... p(hit, miss) = 1/2

What is the correlation coefficient for the data shown in the table?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correlation coefficient is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the correlation coefficient for the given dataset

from the table, what do we observe?

As x is increasing by 5 units;

y is decreasing by 5 units

What this mean is that there is a negative correlation between both

Thus, what we have here is that, since the rate of increase/decrease on both ends is of equal magnitude but opposite signs, we can conclude that the correlation coefficient is -1

Help!!!! Number 4 right answer
USPshnik [31]
The answer would be 0 solutions.

Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?

That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!

Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.

Let's put in -6.

-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6

Let's try 3.

3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3

Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.  

So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?

None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive! 
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
