Let X1 and X2 be two random variables following Binomial distribution Bin(n1,p) and Bin(n2,p), respectively. Assume that X1 and

X2 are independent.
(a) The mgf of binomial distribution Bin(n, p) is (1 − p + pet)n. Use this fact to obtain the distribution of X1 + X2.

(b) Find the probability P(X1 + X2 = 1|X2 = k) for k = 0 and 1. Then use the law of total probability to find P (X1 + X2 = 1)

Answer:

a) X1+X2 have distribution Bi(n1+n2, p)

b)

P(X1+X2 = 1 | X2 = 0) =  np(1-p)ⁿ¹⁻¹

P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = 1) = (1-p)ⁿ¹

P(X1 + X2 = 1) = (1-p)ⁿ¹ * np(1-p)ⁿ²⁻¹+ (1-p)ⁿ²*np(1-p)ⁿ¹-¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both variables are independent but they have the same probability parameter, you can interpret that like if the experiment that models each try in both variables is the same. When you sum both random variables toguether, what you obtain as a result is the total amount of success in n1+n2 tries of the same experiment, thus X1+X2 have distribution Bi(n1+n2, p).

b)

Note that, if X2 = k, then X1+X2 = 1 is equivalent to X1 = 1-k. Since X1 and X2 are independent, then P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = K) = P(X1=1-k|X2=k) = P(X1 = 1-k).

If k = 0, then this probability is equal to P(X1 = 1) = np(1-p)ⁿ¹⁻¹

If k = 1, then it is equal to P(X1 = 0) = (1-p)ⁿ¹

Thus,

P(X1+X2 = 1) = P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = 1) * P(X2=1) + P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = 0) * P(X2 = 0) = (1-p)ⁿ¹ * np(1-p)ⁿ²⁻¹+ (1-p)ⁿ²*np(1-p)ⁿ¹-¹

Enita is factoring the expression 32 a b minus 8 b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8 b (4 a minus
sattari [20]

This shows that the greatest common factor is 8, Hence Venita's error is that she incorrectly determined the GCF.

<h3>Greatest common factor</h3>

Given the following expression

32ab - 8

Find the factors of each terms

32ab = 8 * 4. * a * b

8 = 8 * 1

Since 8 is common to both factors, hence

32ab - 8 = 8(4ab -1)

This shows that the greatest common factor is 8, Hence Venita's error is that she incorrectly determined the GCF.

The equation for the line of reflection is x = 2. 
If you drew a vertical line crossing the x-axis on x = 2, the drawing will be the same on the left and right side, as if one side was drawn then exactly copied on the other side but flipped. 
The figure is symmetrical, and x = 2 is the line of symmetry. 
Hope this helps!

Answer:

The volume of a cylinder:

V \approx 150.796 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cylinder, you need the this formula:

V = \pi r^2h

-Use the given height and radius for the formula:

V = \pi 4^2 3

-Then, solve the formula:

V = \pi \times 4^2 \times 3

V = \pi \times 16 \times 3

V = \pi \times 48

V = 48\pi \approx 150.796

So, the volume of a cylinder is approximately 150.796 ft^3 .
