A coin is rigged so that the probability of tossing a head is 0.61. The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up

. Let T record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head. What is the probability distribution of T

Answer:

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

X\sim Geo (1-p)

Solution to the problem

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)

Find the coordinates of point X that lies along the directed line segment from Y(-8, 8) to T(-15, -13) and partitions the segmen
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

C. (-13, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of a point O(x, y) that divides a line AB with location A(x_1,y_1) and B(x_2,y_2) in the ratio m:n is given by:

x=\frac{m}{m+n} (x_2-x_1)+x_1\\\\y=\frac{m}{m+n} (y_2-y_1)+y_1

Therefore the coordinates of point X That divides line segment from Y(-8, 8) to T(-15, -13) in the ratio 5:2 is:

x=\frac{5}{5+2} (-15-(-8))+(-8)\\\\x=\frac{5}{7} (-15+8)-8=\frac{5}{7}(-7)-8=-5-8=-13 \\\\\\y=\frac{5}{5+2} (-13-8)+8\\\\y=\frac{5}{7} (-21)+8=5(-3)+8=-15+8=-7

Therefore the coordinates of point X is at (-13, -7)

booker owns 85 video games.he has 3 shelves to put the game on. each shelve can hold 40 video games how many more video games do
Airida [17]
First lets see how much room there is for holding video games.
There are 3 shelves that can hold 40 video games each, that is:
3*40 = 120
so we can hold 120 video games total.
If now there are 85 video games, how many we can hold still? That is:
120 - 85 = 35
So we still can hold 35 more video games.
