A particular professor is known for his arbitrary grading policies. eachpaper receives a grade from the set{a, a-, b+, b, b-, c+

}, with equalprobability, independently of other papers. how many papers do youexpect to hand in before you receive each possible grade at least once?

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The number of papers expected to be handed in before receiving each possible grade at least once is 14.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question , we note that it is a geometric distribution question which have equal probabilities and therefore is a form of Binomial distribution with Bernoulli trials, where we are conducting the trials till we have r successes

Since we have r = 6, we will have to find the expected value of the number of trials till the nth paper handed in receives a previously awarded grade.

We therefore have,

The Probability that out of six papers turned 5 are different scores is given by

P(Y=5) = p'= q⁵p = (1-p)⁵p = 3125/46656

Therefore p' = the probability of receiving different grades once then the expected value is given by

E(X)  = 1/p' = 46656/3125 = 14.93.

In a function, an input can have more than one output. True Or False ??
Fudgin [204]
False. For every x in the function's domain, f(x) describes the one single output.

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

Let's find out the gradient (Slope " m ") of line q ;

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:m = \dfrac{4 - 0}{0 - 1}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow  \:m =  - 4

Now, since we already know the gradient let's find of the equation of line by using its Slope and one of the points using point slope form of line :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:y - 4 = m(x - 0)

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:y = mx + 4

Now, plug in the value of gradient ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:y =  - 4x + 4

here we can clearly observe that, the Area under the curve can easily be represented as :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:y <  - 4x + 4

Since, all the values of y that lies in the shaded region is smaller than the actual value of y for the corresponding values of x in the equation of line q

Solve for x when 4x+16/12=x-4
stira [4]

Answer:

In short, Your Answer would be either 1 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 12| = 16

As it is in modulus function, it could be either +ve or -ve

4x+12 = 16   OR   4x - 12 = 16

4x = 16-12    OR   4x = 16 + 12

4x = 4           OR   4x = 28

x = 4/4     OR  x = 28/4
