Explanation:

Marginal distribution: This distribution gives the probability for each possible value of the Random variable ignoring other random variables. Basically, the values of other variables is not considered in the marginal distribution, they can be any value possible. For example, if you have two variables X and Y, the probability of X being equal to a value, lets say, 4, contemplates every possible scenario where X is equal to 4, independently of the value Y has taken. If you want the probability of a dice being a multiple of 3, you are interested that the dice is either 3 or 6, but you dont care if the dice is even or odd.

Conditional distribution: This distribution contrasts from the previous one in the sense that we are restricting the universe of events to specific condition for other variable, making a modification of our marginal results. If we know that throwing a dice will give us a result higher than 2, then to in order to calculate the probability of the dice being a multiple of 3 using that condition, we have two favourable cases (3 and 6) from 4 total possible results (3,4,5 and 6) discarding the impossible values (1 and 2) from this universe since they dont match the condition given (note that the restrictions given can also reduce the total of favourable cases).

The joint distribution calculates the probabilities for two different events (related to two different random variables) occuring simultaneously. If we want to calculate the joint probability of a dice being multiple of 3 and greater than 2 at the same time, our possible cases in this case are 3 and 6 from 6 possible results. We are not discarding 1 or 2 as possible results because we are not assuming, that the dice is greater than 2, that is another condition that we should met in the combination of events.

The explicit rule for a sequence is given. an=4n−1 What is the recursive rule for the sequence?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a_{n+1}=a_n+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Have in mind the definition of the term a_n=4\,n-1, and now work on what the term a_{n+1} is based on the previous definition:

a_{n+1} = 4\,(n+1)-1\\a_{n+1}=4\,n+4-1

In the next step do NOT combine the numerical values, but try to identify the a_n term (4\,n-1) in the expression (notice the use of square brackets to group the relevant terms):

a_{n+1}=4\,n+4-1\\a_{n+1}=[4\,n-1]+4\\a_{n+1}=a_n+4

So now we have the term "a_{n+1}" defined in a recursive manner based on the previous term "a_n"

Which of the following is not equivalent
dsp73
90/139 is the only fraction not equivalent to 45/70.

To find if a fractions are equivalent, divide the numerator by the denominator for each fraction.

45/70=0.642857
27/42=0.642857
9/14=0.642857
63/98=0.642857

Notice how all of these get you the same number. However, when you divide 90 by 137, you get 0.64748, which is not the same as the others. Therefore, 90/137 is the fraction that is not equivalent to 45/70.
