A library subscribes to two different weekly news magazines, each of which is supposed to arrive in Wednesday�s mail. In actuali

ty, each one may arrive on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Suppose the two arrive independently of one another, and for each one P(Wed.) = .3, P(Thurs.) = .4, P(Fri.) = .2, and P(Sat.) = .1. Let Y = the number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive (so possible Y values are 0, 1, 2, or 3). Compute the pmf of Y.

Answer:

P(Y = 0) = 0.09

P(Y = 1) = 0.4

P(Y = 2) = 0.32

P(Y = 3) = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be:

W = Wednesday

T = Thursday

F = Friday

S = Saturday

Their corresponding probabilities are

P(W) = 0.3\\P(T) = 0.4\\P(F) = 0.2\\P(S) = 0.1

Since Y = number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive(so possible Y values are 0, 1, 2 or 3)

The possible number of outcomes are therefore 4^2 = 16\\(W, W), (W, T), (W, F), (W, S)\\(T, W), (T, T), (T, F), (T, S)\\(F, W), (F, T), (F, F), (F, S)\\(S, W), (S, T), (S, F), (S, S)

The values associated for each of the outcomes are as follows:

Y(W, W) = 0, Y(W, T) = 1, Y(W, F) = 2, Y(W, S) = 3\\Y(T, W) = 1, Y(T, T) = 1, Y(T, F) = 2, Y(T, S) = 3\\Y(F, W) = 2, Y(F, T) = 2, Y(F, F) = 2, Y(F, S) = 3\\Y(S, W) = 3, Y(S, T) = 3, Y(S, F) = 3, Y(S, S) = 3

The probability mass function of Y is,

P(Y = 0) = 0.3(0.3) = 0.09\\P(Y = 1) = P[(W, T) or (T, W) or (T, T)]\\= [0.3(0.4) + 0.3(0.4) + 0.4(0.4)]\\= 0.4\\\\P(Y = 2) = P[(W, F) or (T, F) or (F, W) or (F, T) or (F, F)]\\= [0.3(0.2) + 0.4(0.2) + 0.2(0.3) + 0.2(0.4) + 0.2(0.2)]\\= 0.32\\\\P(Y = 3) = P[(W, S) or (T, S) or (F, S) or (S, W) or (S, T) or (S, F) or (S, S)]\\= [0.3(0.1) + 0.4(0.1) + 0.2(0.1) + 0.1(0.3) 0.1(0.4) + 0.1(0.2) + 0.1(0.1)]\\= 0.19

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equilateral triangle.  That means all sides are equal and all angles are equal

An equilateral triangle has angle measurements of 60 degrees

60 =4x

Divide each side by 4

60/4 = 4x/4

15 =x

The altitude of an equilateral triangle is 22 inches. Find the perimeter of the equilateral triangle. Leave answer as a simplifi
torisob [31]

The perimeter of the equilateral triangle will be 76.2 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

Altitude of an equilateral triangle, H = 22 in

Perimeter, p = ?

Let a be the side of the triangle

We know:

H = \frac{a\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\22 = \frac{a\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\a = 25.4 in

Perimeter = 3a

P = 3 X 25.4 in

P = 76.2 in

(i) There is glucose outside the Visking tubing. Glucose is small enough to pass through it.

(iii) Normal urine color ranges from pale yellow to deep amber — the result of a pigment called urochrome and how diluted or concentrated the urine is. Pigments and other compounds in certain foods and medications can change your urine color. Beets, berries and fava beans are among the foods most likely to affect the color.

A box contains 17 marbles, 13 blue marbles, and 23 white marbles. What is the part-whole ratio of red marbles in the box.
sergij07 [2.7K]
Since the ratio is part-Whole, first you need to find the whole. If you add all of the marble colors together (17+13+23) you get the total marbles (53) in the box. The ratio of red marbles to the total would be 17 to 53.
